Road Trip!

I am currently in Nashville, Tennessee!!!!  I have only ever been here once in my life and that was over 10 years ago.  We only stayed the night in a hotel and left the next morning so it wasn't much of an experience.  Anyway, I am super excited to be here.  Today we are going to the capital building and the downtown area.  I expect it will be much fun, and I will write about it as soon as I get the chance. 

Why am I in Nashville two weeks before the start of summer camping season?  Well, I came with a fellow Camp Wife who has family here.  We left our husbands at camp to do all the work.  (we don't work anyway so this isn't a big deal!)  It was a 15 hour drive!!!!  We drove straight through, a few stops for gasoline, but other than that...

The trip was fun.  We had good discussions and saw some cool stuff.  We drove through St. Louis so we got to "see the Arch", and by "see the Arch" I mean just see it, we didn't visit, just drove by it.  Rather close by actually.  I have to say that the buildings in St. Louis are amazing.  The architecture is really old and rather creative.  It would have been fun to be able to visit them.  Oh how I wish I had my camera!!!

On the way we passed some strange places.  Oregon, Lebanon, Amazonia, and I don't know how many "villes"  It seems like every town down here is named "something"-ville.  Crazy!!!!!

There are trees everywhere here!  Surrounding everything.  Most of the time, you can't see the other side of the interstate because there are so many trees in the median.  But it was beautiful.  So much green, leaves on trees even!! :)  I understand why people from other parts of the country think there is nothing in Nebraska.  Compared to this part of the country there isn't.  I still think Nebraska is beautiful though.  I love being able to see for miles and miles.  And the Sunsets.  Nebraska has the best sunsets!

I will try to update you about what else we do on the trip.  Hopefully I will be better at posting on this thing than I have been the last month!!!
