Nashville, Tennessee

 Brittney was asked last minuet by her company, to go to a marketing convention in Nashville, Tennessee. Of course I just had to go and meet her there since I live only four hours away! We stayed at the Holiday Inn in West End Downtown, Nashville, near the Vanderbilt University campus.

 

 Every day I would walk four miles to and from music city downtown, to meet Brittney for lunch. These are some of the sites I saw along the way (I could of taken a hotel shuttle but I wanted the exercise, and to experience the city on foot).

 

Pretty awesome Nashville Union Station!

 

 

 First Baptist Church of Nashville.

 Views of the City

 

 Cool Graffiti! 

There was tons of construction (building hotels) going on downtown.

 

 Brittney's first day of her convention was at the brand new beautiful Weston Hotel.

 The next three convention days were held at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

 Looking up the spiral staircase where the convention covered six floors!

Music City Convention Center 

Bridgestone Arena 

 Hilton Inn across from Music City 

 Pedal Tavern - where tourist explore the city while drinking (I guess it's legal to 'drink and pedal'). 

 Vanderbilt University campus located right next to our hotel.

 

 Fitting to have a breast cancer awareness cement truck pouring concrete at the University.

 Beautiful Methodist Church across from Vanderbilt campus. 

 A total dive bar, across from our hotel, that had live music and wonderful smells radiating from it!

 Centennial Park, which was also located right across from our hotel. 

The Parthenon inside Centennial Park, which is a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens, Greece! 

It was built in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition. 

 Even though it was too late in the day for us to go in, we had fun taking pictures on and around the Parthenon, our last evening in Nashville (back view).

 It was actually nighttime (thus the fuzzy picture) but the Parthenon itself was illuminated by huge flood lights. 

 The pillars were pretty massive.

 Inside the pillars.

 Maybe next time we're in Nashville we can actually visit the museum inside (front view).

I am so grateful for the chance to spend a week in Nashville with Brittney, and hopefully another opportunity like this will come up again some day!
