Nashville 3

We also went to about 6 civil war sites. The best tour that we EVER had was at the Carter House (Battle of Franklin). The guide was a preacher (2nd job) and looked like Steve Irwin (croc hunter). His 90 minute tour was awesome. This is also a must see. The building below has 206
bullet holes in it and it has the distiction of most bullet holes in a building that is still standing.





Here are the little statues in the Parthanen

See our excitement!!!!!

Actual trip was great. I would skip Mammoth Cave Historic tour and hit some of the caves outside the park. They actually have stalagtites and stalagmites and other cool things. However, there is plenty of stuff to do outside the cave (you could spend a week there...there is also a life size dinosaur exhibit right off the highway.

Also, if you want to blow a lot of money in a mall and never really buy anything, go the Opry Mills. The place is huge and has water massages, sort of bungy jump thing, Imax, a resturant surrounded by a huge aquarium with sharks, huge merry-go-round, a 50's diner, Bass Pro shop, and we only walked about 20% of it.
