While we explored some sights in Nashville, TN, we also had plenty of time to discover new playgrounds and parks. This playground was at the best location ever: in a shopping plaza (surrounded by a big grassy area) that is home to Target, Marshalls, Ross, Publix, a book store, just to name a few.
You know you are in Nashville, if you find guitars everywhere (same shopping plaza as above):
Even though Derrick had to work, he also had some time to spent with us. The kids loved playing outdoors with him:
Before dinner, the kids enjoyed going down to the marina to feed the fish:
It rained on Thursday, so I decided to take the kids to the famous Gaylord Opryland Resort and the Opry Mills Mall. The Gaylord Resort is the biggest hotel I have ever seen. It has over 2,900 rooms, 3 pools, features 17 restaurants and 9 acres of indoor gardens with waterfalls. It was amazing to see.
The kids loved to run around in the big open halls:
In front of an Irish Pub and an "outdoor" cafe, inside the hotel:
The main area of the hotel with the indoor gardens:
Every night, there is a fountain show, choreographed with lights and music. Also, the hotel offers daily Riverboat tours down the scenic river winding thru 4.5 acres of the indoor gardens.
The Opry Mills is located right next to the Opry House and is a super-regional shopping mall. It has several restaurants and big anchor stores, such as Bass Pro Shop and Rainforest Cafe. My kids love visiting their aquariums and fun decorations.
This concluded our spring break in Nashville as we were headed back home on Friday. The drive home went smoothly and without any interruptions and we were delighted to be back where we belong. Especially our cat was happy to see us:
Till next time, Nashville!
