Day #6 - More Nashville

 We started the day with a tour of a beautiful plantation called Belle Meade.
We walked the grounds and were given a tour of the house.





This pot was used to scald the pigs --- yikes!


Once killed, the pigs were skinned and then hung to cure in this smoke house.




Here is Mark pretending to be Billy Graham and me with a giant guitar.




We visited the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum.  The displays were fantastic.
Here is one of Minnie Pearl's dresses and below are Carl Perkin's Blue Suede Shoes.


This is a display depicting a scene from Hee Haw.



We visited the Willie Nelson store and museum.


We had Supper at the Backstage Opry Grill.  
Above was our appetizer of biscuits covered in cheesy gravy.  



Mark had fried Chicken with succotash and mac-n-cheese.
I had meat loaf with sweet potato fries and mac-n-cheese.
(They seem to serve mac-n-cheese with everything.)




After dinner we went to the Grand Old Opry.  It was a very entertaining show.

After the show we took a back stage tour.  These are the Grand Old Opry member's personal mail boxes and below is one of the dressing rooms.
