Day #3 of our vacation found us in Nashville, TN. One stop that we wanted to make was to Financial Plaza. Sadly, Dave himself was not in the office that day, but we did get to meet some of his staff, tour part of his office & see where the radio show takes place. Following that, we found a lot of inside activities in an effort to escape the heat!

 |
| The kids were introduced to the Dukes of Hazzard! Terry was enthused to find the metal lunch boxes that he had as a kid....and still has! |
 |
| Me with Willie Nelson......larger than life! |
 |
| We closed out the day with a show at the Grand Ole Opry. What a treat! Minnie Pearl started out the show but, sadly, I was the only one who had memories of her. I remember Dad's 8-track tapes of her. Some of the other entertainers were John Connelly, Riders in the Sky, Little Jimmie Dickens, Old Crow Medicine Show, Amanda Burnett, Connie Smith and, of course, the kids' favorite.......Darius Rucker! It was a GREAT show. |
