Ryan and I went to Nashville on May 30th, 2009 because I had purchased tickets to go and see Hillsong United. So we decided to make a day of it and we left around 11:00am (ET) and got to Nashville about 1:00 (CT). We decided that we were going to drive to Belmont University first so that we could see where the concert was that evening. So I decided to rely on GPS to take us there. She was successful in doing so. We finally found the school and the building that the concert was held in. This was the building that the concert was held it. It was called the Curb Event Center.
Then come to found out that the Curb Event Center was the same place that the second presidential debate was held in. I thought that it was pretty neat to know that.
After we finally found the University we decided to get something to eat and once again we relied on the GPS taking us and she did right to a quick McDonald's trip. So we got some breakfast/lunch. We then headed to the downtown Nashville. We did a lot of walking around that my feet started to hurt that I had to actually go back to the car and get my sneakers. I really wanted to do the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum but it was 20.00 a person to get in and we decided against spending that much money on it so we walked about in the Museum store and then headed back out into the hot sunny day. We could have gone to the Wax Museum but I decided that I didn't to go and get in the car and drive and find it so we decided not to. (I would like to go back to Nashville and do the Wax Museum) So we went into different shops and then saw some people on the streets. There were people sitting on the ground playing their guitars and hoping someone would give them some money. Then we had a couple of people that we saw that just wanted money. There were these two people that had a cardboard sign sitting in front of them and it said Parents were eaten by Pigeons need money for trip. There were two other people as well but I didn't read their sign so I am not sure what they had on it. So anyway Ryan decided that he wanted to take me on a Horse and Carriage ride around Nashville. So we did. It was nice and relaxing to just sit there and watch all the people walking and just enjoying each others company. I decided to take a picture of us on it. But of course you can't really see that we are on it, but its still a great picture of the two of us.
(okay so adding pictures as you write it is a pain so I will place another blog with some more pictures that I took)
