\u00a0Nicki\u2019s husband, a Nashville Session and Touring Drummer for 33 Miles and various artists including Lauren Alaina, was on the road. \u00a0If you are a fan of House Hunters, you might have seen their house on a past episode.\u00a0 They were chosen because they were all moving in together\u2026Mom, Dad, Daughter and Son-in-law.\u00a0 And y\u2019all thought John and I were in close quarters!<\/p>\n<p>We parked our RV at a local RV Park and drove to the city to experience Nashville.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/perrellas.com\/?attachment_id=250\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-250\"><img

in Nashville was cramped and only minimally clean.\u00a0 When I visited the showers and just peeked in to check them out, I thought they were OK.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 That was not a pleasant experience but the water was hot so I did manage to get my hair clean.\u00a0 Decided to use our shower and skip the RV bathrooms from then on unless they were sparkling clean.<\/p>\n<p><a
