We drove south on route 65.
They sold Boiled Peanuts at the gas station.
In Lynchburg we visited the Jack Daniel's Distillery. They had a great museum and tour.
Giant fire pits were they make their famous charcoal that they use to filter the whiskey.
Mark acting like Jack.
Rows and rows of whiskey barrels.
The Jack Daniel's moto.
Mark taking a whiff.
After the tour we walked downtown and had lunch at the Bar-B-Que Caboose Cafe.
Back on the road we drove to Bell Buckle - home of the Moon Pie.
Sadly we just missed the RC Cola and Moon Pie Festival.
Mark bought boxes of Moon Pies to share with his co-workers.
We then drove to Murfreesboro.
We stopped briefly at the Middle Tennessee State University.
This is a picture of the softball field.
We visited Stones River Battlefield.
Back in Nashville we went the Loveless Cafe for a Fried Chicken Dinner.
You would probably think that the Jack Daniels was the highlight of the day, but those biscuits at the Loveless were like little pillows from heaven. An the chicken was the best I've had since Mom used to cook it in one of those square electric frying pans.
