The Hermitage/Fathers' Day Nothing says fun like tromping across the rolling lands outside of Nashville in 90 degree heat and 75% humidity, so that's how we spent Father's Day. We arrived at The Hermitage, Andrew Jackon's 1000 acre plantation outside of Nashville to see an impressive visitor center masking the rest of the grounds just over the hill.

We persevered however and got a decent shot in fairly short order. The humidity here is nearly palpable! The temperatures are totally acceptable by Chico standards but the hu...
