Gnashville

Abby and I spent the day in Nashville while Gina worked. We hit the zoo and then we drove around downtown. Here are some snapshots. Gina’s off work today so we’re going to do the tourist thing. First stop: Cooter’s. A Dukes of Hazzard museum/giftshop.

Abby enthralled by the giant bamboo stands found throughout the zoo.

We’re staying at a motel next the colossal and soul-free Opryland complex, which includes the biggest mall I hope to ever see. We ate supper in the mall at the Aquarium, a seafood place that features a 200,000 gallon saltwater fish tank in the middle of the restaurant. The restaurant also has an entertainment venue next door with a giant vat of stingrays. Our meal included a free cup of shrimp to feed the stingrays.

The stingray room also held a merry-go-round.
