i'd like to elaborate a little on what we did yesterday! there are not a lot of pics taken with me and/or Jon in them. hopefully today i will get more with us in the pic, so i don't get home and ask "why did i take a picture of this?" :O) the top pic shown here is a small sample of Elvis' (MORE!!) gold/platinum record trophies....this room was once his racketball court. that may give a picture in your head of how tall the walls are. we were not allowed to use any flash photography in any room in graceland or any exhibit. apparently the flashes break down the fabrics and paint over time? okey dokey, i'll follow along. that is me in front of somebody's car. i think that is a rolls royce? anyway, i figured "what the hey" take my picture Jon! :O) i wanted to tell you more about what we ate for dinner. started off with a cup of tomato soup topped with parmesan cheese. omgosh this was THE BEST tomato soup EVER! lol idk if it really was the best or if just cuz we are in a different city, eating at some cool restaurant that made it seem so. we shared it and also dipped the rolls (yummy rolls) in the soup. you would have sworn we had not eaten "all day"!!! the butter was also yummy, a sweet style of butter, and we ate it all up too. "can we please get some more bread? we've been driving for 15 hours and are starving!" ok, no, we didn't say that. but that is what we must have looked like to the other patrons. so next we had salads. i had the caesar (delish!) and Jon had a bibb leaf salad with cajun shrimp (added on). props to my husband for not being afraid of trying new things! i have no idea what was in the dressing on his salad, but it was (again) the "best salad ever"! it had bacon in it too. mmmmmmmmmm! so we ate alllllll the salad, and we shared the chicken fettuccine. we have been trying to share food at restaurants all the time now....not because we don't want to pay for it....just because all the portions are way too big. we are trying to watch our figures (heehee!). so we shared the pasta dish. it was really good as well, it had a mushroom based sauce or something. i think we liked the soup and salads better than the main dish. we could have eaten, excuse me, WOULD HAVE eaten, a pot of that soup---had it been placed in front of us. i told Jon, "this is a really cool place! i feel like such a tourist because i'm like wanting to take pictures of it and i'm sure everyone else in here eats here all the time." :O) i'm sure that was the case. i don't care, i'm on vacation! also just wanted to elaborate on our very nice Hilton suite we are staying in! pretty sure it is bigger than our apartment (in square footage). we have a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, bar sink, desk, and high speed internet. yay! the carpet is a deep purple, the couch is purple velvet. the walls in the bathroom are a pretty shade of green, and i think tan in the living room, and a mauve-ish in the bedroom. today we are going to the country music hall of fame!! i'm so very excited! i think we will do as much walking around and seeing little things in nashville as we can during today, and tonight hang out in the "district"? i think that is what it's called, that's where all the nightlife/live music is. miss you dear friends and family back home!
