Nashville!

hey everyone! my phone says it is now 10:35 pm. i have been awake since 3:30 am in texas, we left our house at 4 am. :O) just a couple of things i'd like to share with you all:

1. we arrived safe, thank you little blue car, you did so good! :O)

2. do not, ever, for any reason, drive to nashville from Texas. there is really nothing to "see". my thoughts were "oh i'm excited about the drive, it's going to be fun! i'm sure it will be so pretty!" .....uhmmmm.....or 15 hours later you get to the hotel???? lol

3. graceland is pretty cool. i will never need to visit it again! i love how it is still decorated like 1970-something. it still smells like an "old" house. it's kinda neat to think "he was in here" or whatever, but hey guess what? it's a dead guy's house. that's really all it is.

so, that's all the diary tonight, our hotel is awesome. it is in Brentwood, and since it was dark when we arrived, i'm thinking it's "pretty" outside!! please enjoy the pics. that's Jon in front of the neon "elvis" from the automobile museum. i thought that looked cool. i took that pic of us on the stairs in the mirror above us on the way to the basement of graceland. i put the pic of the martin guitar case on here just because that was pretty cool to see....my dad has the same case. my dad has a martin guitar that he used to play "big iron" by marty robbins on to me when i was 2. that's obviously me in front of just a SMALL portion of the record collection of elvis, i'm talking all his millions of albums sold, etc. Jon and I ate at an AWESOME restaurant this evening, it used to be a plantation and now it is a restaurant. the guy that took the pic did not do justice to what i was imagining in my head, he did thankfully get us both in the pic. and in focus. that staircase is neat and there is a super cool chandalier there, my thought was to have us and the light in the pic but what do i know. :O) we ate entirely too much today, driving brings out the evil snacker in me!! and then we shared everything at dinner....it was all very very yummy!! that's all for tonight, i'm off to sleepy land!
