We arrived in Nashville stopped at Bobbie’s Dairy Dip for some Strawberry shortcake and fudge cake. After this we made our way to the Opry Land Hotel and the Grand Ole Opry. Once we got there the Grand Ole Opry was closing so we walked over to the Mall for Brandon to visit the Gibson store. Here he got to play several guitars and found the one he thinks he wants for Christmas. It was so fun to watch him play some really amazing instruments. After the mall we headed over to the Gaylord Opry Land Hotel to look around. This hotel is beautiful and Huge!! Once we were done there we were unsure of where to eat but I found a place called Monell’s on Yelp so we headed that way. This place was AMAZING. It was family style eating where you also sit with strangers. The food was awesome and another guest gave us a buy one free coupon. If you ever go to Nashville this is a MUST to eat at. So while in Nashville we took a tour of the old Grand Old Opry which is called the Ryman theater. We also took a backstage tour here. This was very interesting and informative. After the Ryman we went back to the new Grand Ole Opry and went to the Museum. Once we were done with the museum we headed off to the Great Smokey Mountains.
