Vacation, recap and Day One

When we last left the story, we had just arrived in Nashville.  One of my clients from my consulting business needed some help, so we dropped off the bags, kicked off our shoes, and started working.  Cassie loves it when I work on vacation, but understood the situation and decided to take a picture of our room with me working.

We loved the couch in the hotel room and I liked being able to prop my feet up.

After we settled in a bit, it was time to eat.  We were right across the street from the Opryland Hotel.  We set out exploring.

A view from the inside of the hotel.  We went to the bar and ordered some drinks.  I explored a little (i.e. got lost)  I finally found my way back to our seats. 

While enjoying the atmosphere, we began to feel a little odd.  Both of us just felt like something wasn't right.  Suddenly we realize the bar is rotating, and the drinks have nothing to do with it.  The entire bar rotates around itself.

We wound up picking an Irish Pub inside the hotel to eat at.  It was a little weird.  While in this traditional Irish setting, they had Britney Spears playing in the background.

The place could have been a little better kept.  Cas and I both noticed the health rating.

Not to be snotty, but we try and stay above the 90s at most places we go to.

Here is Cassie hinting to me that it's time to go and that she doesn't want her picture taken.  :)  I'm good at picking up those hints.

Finally we decided it was time to go, so we called the Hotel to take us back.  We had a few minutes to wait, while the shuttle got over there.  That meant time for one more picture of someone not wanting their picture taken. :)

So ends our first day in Nashville.  We crashed about the time we got to the hotel, and rested up for day two.
