So we woke up in Madisonville, KY and spent some time with an old friend and his happy waves.
This was at the hotel. Still an important thing to know even though there's no "weather" at the moment...
We were right near the Trail of Tears and paid our respects to the Cherokee.
The log cabin was the museum.
Statues of two Cherokee Chiefs, Chief Whitepath and Chief Fly Smith, who died on the Trail at this site.
Abruptly switching gears, we think we found the SoCo distillery.
Free air! (no hose?)
We can't tell if it's Genesis I or II - Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins?
Hopkinsville (KY) Community College has a Literary Park.
WITH a marble recreation of The Round Table!
King Arthur's Round Table!
We made a new friend. Hi Snowball!
AND a Greek amphitheater!
Yup
Mmm-hmm
Welcome to Tenn......e!
Outside the Grand Ol' Opry are some big ol' git-fiddles.
Grand Ole Opry!
Stephanie makin' friends (yee haw)
Cool doors
The hippies are attacking! Run, country music, RUN!
Can you even tell the difference between 24 and 25mph?
Nashville has its very own Parthenon.
And we ran into a wedding!
At the Nashville Sounds ballpark, people sometimes hit things.
nom nom
The field
Whatta cool scoreboard!
The cicadas were infesting Nashville while we were there. We heard that the newspaper ran a story with recipes for them (yuck). Does this qualify?
Stephanie TOTALLY wanted to do this.
Stephanie and Ozzie
This is not Mindon. She had taken the day off. Sorry Mike from Louisville!
We searched and searched the ballpark but found no GooGoo Clusters. (sad face)
But we found Nique' (much better than a GooGoo Cluster). See you on the East Coast!
The Nashville Sounds were wearing pink jerseys which they auctioned off to raise money for cancer research.
The Nashville Sounds (AAA for the Brewers) beat the Oklahoma City RedHawks (AAA for the Astros). And yes, Koby Clemens (Roger's son) was on the RedHawks but Todd wouldn't let Stephanie post a picture of him.
This is great!
