We're camped right next to the Graceland parking lot, and it took us about four minutes to walk from the RV to the ticket office. With tickets in hand (well, I had put them in my pocket), we walked out the front door of the ticket office and stood in line for the shuttle bus that would take us to the mansion. I had no idea how far we were going, and I pondered that question as we stood in line and waited to get on the fourth shuttle bus. I was already gripin...

Tue, Jun 4, 2013STATS Departure: Nashville, Tennessee Arrival: Nashville, Tennessee Miles: 0.5 Travel Time: 3 minutes Well, the KOA kicked us out today. It seems there is a Country Music Association (CMA) Festival in Nashville this week, and the campground (excuse me, “Kampground”) is over booked. We have tickets to the Grand Ole Opry tonight, so we had to make a reservation at another campground (this one is spelled correctly) in town. It’s th...

We wanted to see if we could top yesterday’s entertainment. Barbara saw online that there is a model train and toy museum in Nashville, so we figured that would do the trick. We got the directions, and off we went. It took about a minute and a half to get there; it turns out the address is just down the street from us.There is no train and toy museum.Okay, but there is a wax museum there.It was closed.Wait. Right next door is the Willie Nelson Museum.Closed...
