Vacation Report
We've been here 3.5 days, and it's only rained twice: the first time for 3 days, and now, half a day so far. UGH
No sunning this time around, although we did have enough dry weather to spend a few minutes in the hammock on Wed.
The Grand Ole Opry and Alison Krauss were great, plus, I was introduced to the musical stylings of Jamey Johnson - wow, loved his "I Fall to Pieces" duet with Alison. It was the 20th anniversary of Alison being inducted into the Opry, so she was having a great evening.
The Opryland Resort is a zoo - there was a 3-hr line to check in on the 4th (thank all the deities we didn't need to do that), even with 12 people running the desk.
Downtown Nashville had a carnival atmosphere, even with the intermittent rainshowers, and we had the ribs at Rippy's and Yazoo Pale (local brew) and DH, the girl and her BFF went in together on a "Buy 1 Pair, Get 2 Pairs Free" deal at Boot Country.
Today is more family things at the resort, tomorrow is the nearly 12-hr drive home, where the boy will finally have to own up to his Worker's Comp injury he got the day we left. The girl reported on him, and he's declined to call or answer the phone since then. He cut his thumb at the base - through the tendon and nerve there, but it sounds like he's going to be okay. Still. 2013 can you let up, PLEASE? What the hell did we ever do to you?
