A Look Ahead
Today we are going from Cave City, Kentucky to Marietta, Georgia. We'll
be going through Nashville, Tennessee and the girls want to go shopping,
so we'll be finding a mall along the way. We will be keeping an eye on
the weather over the next couple of days. Tropical Storm Fay is making
its way towards Florida, it may make Tuesday and Wednesday a little wet
and windy.
Dinosaurs, Opryland and Free Drinks
We left Cave City behind and headed for our next stop in Marietta,
Georgia via Nashville, Tennessee.
Before we got back on the I-65 we had to stop and take a picture of a
dinosaur for Angela.
This one was in the parking lot.
We entered into Tennessee and stopped at the Welcome Centre.
Here are the girls blending in with some statues at the Welcome Centre.
We found a mall in Nashville called Opry Mills, as you might have
guessed it is in Opryland.
The mall had its own aquarium and its own Stingray Bay.
Some sharks chasing the stingrays.
I noticed this sign when we were waiting for Susan.
A closer look at the sign.
After we had a picnic lunch we walked over to the Grand Ole Opry House.
Our new blog photo for now.

The line up for August, last night was Vince Gill.
We walked around the gift store called Opry shop.
Our hotel tonight is the Drury Inn in Marietta, Georgia. We checked in
around 6:55pm, we lost an hour just past Chattanooga as we crossed back
into the Eastern Time Zone. I was told we had only a few minutes to get
our free drinks. At this hotel one of the extras is Free Evening drinks
and snacks. the girls had soft drinks and I had two draft beers. the
snacks included popcorn, chips, and nachos. Other extras that aren't
extra are free long distance calling and free hot breakfast.
The pool was cool, half of it was indoors and the other half outdoors.
You could swim under the glass partition. Gillian jumping in.

Tomorrow were touring the Georgia Aquarium and then it's on to
Gainesville Florida.
