Oh Nashville... I will be back!
Four days in Nashville includes mostly, eating, drinking, and museums. I would say music but it was so non-stop that I'm not sure its even a category anymore.
Day 1- We arrived late the night before so luckily we were able to wake up and start an entire new day in Nashville! Woke up early to explore Gaylord Opryland Convention Center and Hotel. This place is incredible! We took an indoor boat ride and looked around the gardens. Next stop was Broadway! I was so eager to start exploring. The street is lined with huge bars, seriously huge. They ALL have live music! If the bar is three stories, its likely that there is a different band on each floor.
We ended up touring the Country Music Hall of Fame. Exciting, and obviously a must see if you are in town. We walked around the state capital and War Memorial Auditorium, before heading back to Broadway for dinner and drinks. I definitely recommend FGL house for good music and a fun crowd!
Day 2- We spent a lot of time at the Johnny Cash Museum. Weather you are a big fan or not, he had a very interesting life! I 100% recommend stopping. After this we took a walk over Pedestrian Bridge. It was a pretty view and a nice walk. For dinner we took a Lyft over to the Bluebird cafe. SIDENOTE- You must make reservations about a week in advance and they are not easy to get. However; if you get an opportunity you must go. Many artists and songwriters have been discovered here and sometimes famous artists make an appearance!
Day 3- Woke up and went to The Ryman Auditorium. This place is full of history. They say that if someone plays at the Ryman, you know they are going to make it big! The Ryman was beautiful and the self guided tour allows you to take as much or as little time as you'd like!
We also took a Lyft over to The Gulch. I wanted a picture with the famous wing mural. While in town we went to Burger Republic for lunch and alcoholic milkshakes! ❤️
Day 4- Lots of shopping! Some souvineers and boot shopping! This was also New Years Eve so there was a big show (free) at bicentennial park! We saw Carly Pearce, Cheap Trick, Marren Morris, and Kieth Urban (amazing). Despite the unusual 10 degree weather it was incredible. However; after the ball dropped we were out of there before we could get any more cold...or numb.
Nashville is a beautiful city. I hope I have the chance to go back to Tennessee soon and visit the Smoky Mountains. Nashville is especially exciting for country music fans, but everyone could find something to suit their personality in Tennessee! Also the people are sooo nice...definitely a great trip.
