Yeehaw!

I'm home sick, AGAIN! I got a cold over Thanksgiving weekend while Keith was here, and missed a couple of days of work recovering from that. Then, just when I thought I was kicking it, I got sick again. Turns out I never really got better...my cold just turned into a nasty sinus infection. :P Isn't it "funny" that I never had a sinus infection before last year (that I knew of, anyway!), and I've had 3 since last June! Crazy, and not fun!

Anyway, I figured that since I am down for the count, I would take this opportunity to post some pictures from my adventures in Nashville. I don't have all of them on my laptop, but I'll share a few that I do have loaded:



This was from the Country Music Hall of Fame. I'll tell you, I learned more about country music that day than ANYONE ought to know! It was quite interesting, though, and reminded me of a couple of country songs that I want to put on my iPod...#1: The Gambler by Kenny Rogers. :)



After spending a good part of they day at the Hall of Fame, I walked to this restaurant for some barbeque. I hate to admit that this was a planned destination from day one, because in a TV spot John Mayer went to this restaurant to eat. So my plan was to go eat there and try to sit in the same booth that he did. Mission accomplished! The food was REALLY great (the lady at the Hall of Fame said she would have recommended Jack's if I would have asked for a barbeque recommendation), and here is a picture of me in John's booth of choice:



It may be a little pathetic, but it was a fun adventure, and worked out really well since the restaurant was SO close to the Hall of Fame! It was meant to be!



This was just a picture from the "deck" of the ridiculously HUGE convention center on the first day of the conference. It was a chilly morning, but so pretty with the mist and the colors! Despite what you might think if you watch CSI, we don't get a lot of mist/fog in Vegas, and we definitely don't get much color on our trees! It was such a peaceful, gorgeous sight, I had to take a picture!

I also went to the Hermitage which was Andrew Jackson's home, and to the Belle Meade Plantation where they used to raise champion horses. That outing was an adventure in and of itself because the tour bus driver was holding a microphone and singing to us while he drove! Now THAT's entertainment at it's finest!
