Comments on October bus trip (cont'd)
Elvis Presley Birthplace--The church had been used as a private
residence and located at 1358
Berry Street which was very close by. If you're interested, check this
location on Mapquest.com.
Nashville Palace (next to Fiddler's Inn)--The band always includes those
great country classics
and rock 'n' roll that everyone loves to listen or dance to! What a
great way to end a long
traveling day by partying and hearing Rick sing!
Grand Ole Opry Museum--Quite a few country music stars honored in this
museum, so make sure to see the displays of your favorites before
leaving.
Opryland Hotel--Has beautiful gardens with flowers, plants, and trees
from all over the world. This place is unbelievably huge and it is all
under cover, believe it or not! Includes many shops and restaurants.
Also has a nice boat ride (around 30 min.) to learn of the history of
the hotel. Easy to get lost, so you'll be reading signs and looking at
maps here.
Loretta Lynn's Plantation Home Tour--Built by wealthy slaveowner, James
Anderson. Soon after moving in in 1967(?), Loretta and her family
noticed some odd things about it. Of all the historical or plantation
homes you may have visited, this tour I believe will be one of the most
interesting! Enjoy your tour!
Loretta Lynn's Restaurant--Can get the buffet or order from the menu.
Quite a few pictures of Loretta on the walls. Nice gift shop with Elvis
souvenirs included.
Will continue with more tomorrow--Kay |
