On Sunday 7/29 we departed Pigeon Forge and moved on for a one day stop in Nashville. We stayed at a KOA very near the Grand Ole Opry and the Opryland Hotel. It was Sunday so attending a show wasn't possible. We went to the Hotel which I covered in a post last year, and just walked around. This is a enormous hotel with great restaurants, shops and lots to see. We just walked around and then returned to the campground for dinner. Jen went out to dinner with a friend and we had fun with the kids. A short visit to the heart of Country Music but fun.
Monday morning we headed out to Paducah, Ky. Duck Creek RV. We toured downtown Paducah and met up with Susanne and Charles Alexander, friends who we had met in Lazy Days last June. They treated us to a nice dinner at a local restaurant. Thank you guys so very much for the very nice treat.
Paducah is the home of the National Quilt Museum. Eileen and I took the tour of the museum while Jen played with the kids outside. The museum was much more than what we expected. It's an amazing display that changes from time to time as different shows come through. I never thought I would say this but there were some amazing quilts in this place. The art is just totally amazing. (Sorry no pics because cameras were not allowed).
There are murals along the river depicting the history of Paducah a really neat town. We only spent one night here then moved on to Branson, Mo. Our highlight here was catching up with Susanne and Charles. Thanks again for the dinner.
