We made it to Nashville and checked in at our second freebie. (Always sign up for loyalty and reward programs.)
We started off the next day with a trip to the Ryman Auditorium.
As Tosh took this photo he said, "Gotta document the youngest people to ever visit the Ryman."
I told him to pipe down but once we got inside there was a lot of gray hair. We really might have been the youngest couple there by a good 40 years, but I don't care.
My childhood happened to include watching the Grand Ole Opry and Hee Haw. This was the home of the original Grand Ole Opry. We have driven by the new Grand Ole Opry but did not go in.
The hat and shoes...
A suit that belonged to "Little" Jimmy Dickens...
If there are two things Tosh Lyons loves, it is country music and museums about country music.
He was totally a trooper and did enjoy it. He wants to get a Porter Wagner style suit.
Clothes from June Carter and Johnny Cash...
Johnny Cash's boots...
They had it set up where you could go on stage and have your picture taken for a fee. We just took our own from the ground floor.
These belonged to Patsy Cline...
Loretta Lynn...
Finn really enjoyed this. He ran up and down the aisles.
For some reason, once we got up to the balcony I started having a near panic attack. I don't know if it was from the excitement or if it is filled with ghosts of Roy Acuff and Minnie Pearl or what...
but I thought I was going to have a heart attack.
