Nashville Again

We are in Nashville again visiting our youngest daughter, her husband and our 4 month old grandson. Unfortunately Nashville is 550 miles from Angier, but that is not going to stop us from seeing our grandson. He's a cute little fellow who is just the happiest little baby I have ever seen. He hardly ever cries and will smile and giggle when you play with him. He goes to sleep at seven and sleeps most of the night. Why weren't our girls like that?  He is the greatest but that is what all grandparents say. 

Today was relatively warm, so we drove to Centennial Park and took a one mile stroll around the grounds. Not so pretty in the winter but still a nice city to visit. 

The Parthenon, built to commemorate Tennessee's one hundredth anniversary in 1897.

The Nashville skyline. The tall building on the right with the two towers is the AT&T building, better known as the "Batman Building".  This building is visible from my grandson's room. 

Most people think Nashville is all about country music and that is a major draw. Nashville is also a great university town with Vanderbilt being the major university. Medicine is also a large part of the Nashville scene.  In 2013, Vanderbilt School of Medicine ranked 14 in the US News Research School Ranking. The more time I spend here the more I am impressed. 

We haven't been to honky tonk row this week. Hopefully we will get a chance. The weather is suppose to turn cold with a chance of snow on Monday.  Our plans were to go to the Hermitage, home of president Andrew Jackson, on Monday.  May have to scrub that. Oh well, I'm sure we will be coming back soon.
