The trip home was uneventful with one exception.  We stopped in Nashville, TN to visit my cousin Caren, her hubby Carl and their daughter Nicki.  Nicki’s husband, a Nashville Session and Touring Drummer for 33 Miles and various artists including Lauren Alaina, was on the road.  If you are a fan of House Hunters, you might have seen their house on a past episode.  They were chosen because they were all moving in together…Mom, Dad, Daughter and Son-in-law.  And y’all thought John and I were in close quarters!

We parked our RV at a local RV Park and drove to the city to experience Nashville.

Unlike the last RV resort, this older campground in Nashville was cramped and only minimally clean.  When I visited the showers and just peeked in to check them out, I thought they were OK.  When I went to actually take a shower, I realized that the space was so small that you could not bend in any direction without touching the old, somewhat moldy walls with some part of your body.  That was not a pleasant experience but the water was hot so I did manage to get my hair clean.  Decided to use our shower and skip the RV bathrooms from then on unless they were sparkling clean.

Nashville is a wonderful place to visit.  We toured the Grand Ole Opry.

Up on the wall of famous people there was a picture of the most famous country western star from Austin, TX.  Can you guess who?

We ate dinner with my cousin Caren and laughed at her opinion of the South.  She’s a misplaced  Californian just as I had been some 30 years ago but more of a healthy choice foodie.   Her experience at Cracker Barrel, asking for the veggie of the day and being told it was mac and cheese (“in what universe is cheese and pasta a veggie?” was her frustrated response) brought knowing smiles to our faces.  She’s not yet used to the way of the South.
