I'm going to Nashville!

I hope you aren't sick of vacation pictures because I have a few days worth yet! :)

While we were seeing Andy, we knew we wanted to take one day and go to Nashville, since it's about an hour from Andy's base. We decided that Wednesday was the day to go because he was having a short day of in-processing and would be able to go with us.

Here's a view as we approached the city.

There is a show on the History Channel that we enjoy watching called American Pickers. It's about a couple of guys who travel around the countryside, stopping at barns, garages, basements... to see peoples stuff, hear their stories and buy old things. They restore them and then sell them.
One of the guys has opened a store in Nashville, called Antique Archeology, where he sells some of the things from the show.
We decided that if we were going to Nashville, we wanted to stop there.

The store is located in an old factory called Marathon Automobiles. I love seeing old buildings and this was a pretty neat one.

How do you like this sign painted on the brick?

This old sign was outside the front door.

Nice old windows too...

When you go in the front door you are greeted with all kinds of old things. This building has beautiful wood floors and brick walls.

This old bike is a beauty!

And so is this one!
We had fun wandering around, but didn't find anything to buy in our price range. :)



We aren't big country music fans, but we knew that when in Nashville, you have to stop at the Grand Ole Opry.

And here it is!

The front entry is beautiful! We didn't do the tour because we had other plans but at least we could say we were there.

Here's Andy near the Opry building. I'm not sure what he was doing!
We left the Opry for another spot that we really enjoyed, and I'll show you that on Monday.
