I am exhausted! On a map, it looks like North Carolina and Tennessee are right next to each other. Actually, Tennessee is far, far away. 
At least, Nashville is from where we live.
We rode through some incredible mountainous areas en route. We stayed at the Opryland Hotel, which is huge and crowded. I am not a fan of country music, but I'm open-minded, so I did go to some of the shows. Everything at the hotel was so expensive! I am glad I packed some cheese crackers and soft drinks for snacks in the hotel room. A hamburger from room service was $26.00! (Needless to say, I didn't order a hamburger.) It surprised me, because the big casino hotels (my venues of choice) in Mississippi and New Jersey have some reasonably priced restaurants. I was also shocked to find out that the sales tax in Tennessee is 10%! (No offense to our TN members; your state is beautiful, I just don't like the sales tax.) The staff at the Opryland was very friendly and I am glad the hotel was able to recover after the disasterous flood.
The Rockettes were fabulous. At the end of the show, they did a beautiful live nativity scene. The funny thing was, as they began to lead the animals out on stage, the woman next to me whispered: Is that a camel or a llama?
I almost laughed out loud. I immediately thought of you all.
We had a great time, but I am so happy to be home with my baby kitties.

Where are the pictures?? 
It turned out to be a mistake, because there were so many pretty things to photograph. I didn't even use all the film in the camera I took, so I'll be stalking cats later.
