Day 11

Lets see, on day 11 we left Kentucky and got on the road to Nashville, Tennessee. We drove around LP Field, which is the stadium for the Tennessee Titans. There wasn't anything going on at the time, but it was cool to see another stadium.





We drove across this bridge after we saw the stadium. Its the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge and we thought it looked really cool with the white arches. On the other side and around the corner from the bridge I saw this funky looking tour bus in front of the Hard Rock Cafe. Pretty unique isn't it?





We drove through a good portion of Nashville and ended up at their Centennial Park. It was a pretty nice park. The pond was pretty and the boys got to feed the ducks and geese some bread.







In the park is a replica of the Parthenon in Greece. Being a fan of Greek and Roman mythology, I had to see it and boy was it amazing! The sheer size of it was awe inspiring (just look at the boys standing between two of the columns.



The museum inside was small, but had some nice things. I don't know much about fine art, but some of the paintings were really pretty. Anyway, upstairs there was this huge, gold replica statue of the goddess Athena. And in another room were miniature sections of the sculptures that were at the outside top of the North and South ends of the building. Monte walked through and read all of the descriptions for in about 20 minutes. Me, I think it took me about 45 minutes or so. I just kinda got caught up in all of the history and mythology and was excited that what I remember from my mythology class in high school was coming back to me.



So after we say the Parthenon, we went to the camper for lunch and then got back on the road and headed for Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We got to Gatlinburg at about 9:30 pm and as usual, set up the camper in our spot and went to bed.
