Started the day in our beautiful room at the Peabody Hotel. Got ready to leave (boo-hoo), and decided to go downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast. Had the best French toast I ever had ( can see why it is their specialty ) and some delicious French pressed coffee. But unfortunately it is a bit of a ride to New Orleans.

Another beautiful morning in Nashville. Sad to leave this fun city, but time to move to our next stop, Memphis. Stopped for a bite to eat before making one of our shortest drive between destinations.

Traveled through the mountains, eventually leaving them behind to more rolling hills similar to home, even crossing to a different time zone. Arrived at t...
