I've always had no real connection to Nashville except for the fact that I was born here, my mom's family lives here, and now my parents (and I) do. I only have on friend here and I have never really given this city a chance. Luckily, this past weekend gave me a small taste of what Nashville has to offer. One of my good friends came up from Atlanta last weekend and along with my high school friend who lives here now, we spent a good time together. The weather was beautiful and we went to the Parthenon (a replica), danced the night away, went on walking bridge over the Cumberland River late at night and looked that beauty of downtown from above, and went to the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. This small amount of fun caused me to look up more things that this city has to offer me as far as fun and intellectually stimulating activites. I can't wait for the warm weather so I can explore the beauty of the Tennessee outdoors and to experience what Nashville is very well known for - the live music scene. Here are the top places I want to visit. I can't wait!
- The Tennessee State Museum: Apparently it's huge and encompasses a lot of natural history.
- Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Art Museum: Formerly the residence of Nashville's Cheek family, is now a museum and has a 55-acre botanical garden.
- Chihuly Exhibit: Dale Chihuly is a famous American glass sculptor and has exhibits around the country. It's gonna be here in Nashville for the summer.
- The Hermitage: President Andrew Jackson's home, and the fourth visited presidential home. Visited Washington's at Mount Vernon...why not Jackson's? :)
- BB Kings Blues Club: I've seen Mr. King perform live, I love blues and I love live music. Perfect.
- Las Paletas Gourmet Popsicles: Interesting food find and very popular spot. All kinds of flavors from rose, to avocado, and mango chili. Mmm..yum.
Anyone wanna join? Come on down to good ol' Music City, USA! :)
