The Hermitage, The Belmont, and the Giant Fish Tank

We only spent Sunday exploring Nashville so as you can see from the previous posts, we were able to cram a lot in. 

We drove out to the Hermitage, Andrew Jackson's crib.

These photos all are slightly a fog with the dead insects and bird poop splattered on the windshield.

It was a beautiful area.  Very green, open, and picturesque.  We didn't end up getting to see anything really because you had to pay for the tour. We were trying to get Finn to take a nap in the car so we just kept on driving.  

 The Belmont Mansion

Happened to drive by Vanderbilt University...

And the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.  I would have loved to go in but I love my family too much to make them endure 4 hours of looking at costumes.

Sunday evening we went to Opry Mills and ate at the Aquarium restaurant.

The entry has fish from the floor to the ceiling. The dining room is basically the inside of a giant fish tank.

We knew there was no way Finn was going to sit down to eat...

He made a friend, Nolan.  Nolan and Finn watched the fish most of the night.  They were so cute together.  

We had the waitress take our picture and ended up with this family gem...

I was not brave enough to ask for a picture retake.
