Kentucky - Day Three

The next day we drove to see the Kentucky Dam, which is a civil engineering masterpiece of course. Noah is thrilled by this concept.

I guess I didn't actually take any pictures of the dam itself.  Moving on, we also visited The Homeplace, a working historical farm, which is just inside the Tennessee border.

This is a very old tree.

 There were also some animal friends at the farm.



Tennessee

The next day of vacation we drove to the neighboring town of Clarksville, Tennessee to check out the station that was the inspiration behind the Monkees' 'Last Train to Clarksville'. There was supposed to be a museum and tour available, but nobody was around. It was a little smaller than any of us had anticipated.

Some of us decided to continue on to Nashville since it was only another 45 minutes away. We first checked out a really neat hotel outside of town called the Gaylord Opryland. It was a massive place and we enjoyed running around exploring the atrium.

Next we went into downtown Nashville, hit up a couple cowboy shops, and had a nice BBQ dinner. The guitar player at the restaurant even gave Noah his guitar pick.
