Good evening, friends! We made it to Knoxville, TN tonight. It is very cute here and we finally got to eat TN barbecue today! It was well worth the wait because it was absolutely delicious. I almost fell on the way out because the floor was wet, but as a clutz, I am used to it!
Today, we had another wonderful day. We went to Nashville and it was a dream come true! The whole place was just plum full of cowboy boots and country music. We went to the grand ole opry (amazing!), the walk of fame, and walked around downtown. I had an awesome time, but Ricky didn't really care either way. :)
One thing Ricky did care about was a dukes of hazzard museum that we got a chance to see. Must be an indication of our age difference because I never even watched the show. It was quite fun though!
We met the weirdest people today at dinner. They were from NC (of course) and they were very odd. Our waiter was an extra in the movie Seabiscuit. The folks kept asking him what he did in Black Beauty. He had to tell them three times that it wasn't black beauty. Then, they called the manager over to ask him if the pork was pulled or chopped because in NC, they only have pulled pork. They went on and on for at least 5 minutes. A few months ago, we went to a wine tasting in Raleigh, and we were sickened by what Ricky called a wine snob. They were being so ugly to the owner of the winery. They kept asking about the age and acted like it just wasn't good enough. Ricky said the couple from last night must have been BBQ snobs!
Tomorrow, we will head to Gatlinburg and then, home sweet home! :) These three weeks have flown by and it has been an awesome vacation.
