This morning, we packed up the trailer and started moving towards Sharon's nephew's house in La Grange, KY. Leaving Nashville, we passed a really neat old mansion. There have been certain places that we have visited, if the year-round weather were better and the kids/grandkids weren't so far away, we would like to live there. This was one of them. Nashville is so filled with history! Nashville isn't too far from the Kentucky border. Soon, we crossed over the bo...

In the mid-morning, we left our campground (Montgomery Bell State Park), which is in the country right outside of Nashville. The First Baptist Church in downtown Nashville allows their parking lot to be used during the week (for a fee, of course), but our thanks to them for providing parking near to so many venues. After going into the Visitors Center to find the "lay out of the land", we proceeded to the Country Music Hall of Fame. It is a three story bu...

No trip to Memphis would be complete without a trip to Graceland. Although neither of us had any interest in a tour of the mansion and his airplane, we found out that between 07:30 to 8:30 they allow "walk-up" visitors. We are only allowed to enter through the main gates, walk up the driveway and to the "Meditation Garden", where Elvis and his relatives are buried. We had a three hour drive from Memphis to Nashville, only a mere 193 miles. We made one stop at...

We got an early start this morning because we wanted to catch a tour of Memphis first thing in the morning. We were to meet the tour guide at BB King's Blues Club & Grill, which is a trip in itself! As we waited for the tour guide to show up, we wandered out on Beale Street (the main blues club row in Memphis) to look around and take a few pictures. After checking in for the tour, we boarded a shuttle van with our guide, Kathy. She took us through the cit...

Our plan was to move from Hot Springs, AR to Memphis, TN. So, we packed up the trailer and disconnected the utilities and took one last look around a very nice campground. The state highway from Hot Springs out to the Interstate was mostly a four-lane highway. Once on the Interstate, we sailed along pretty smoothly. Once we reached Little Rock, we exited the freeway to see the state capitol building, Little Rock Central High School and of course, the William...
