The General Lee and the Dukes of Hazzard museum was a mile from our campground! How could we not drop in? The most popular TV show in the early 1980’s dropping to #2 and losing top billing to “Dallas”.
When was the last time you found mood rings?
Continuing on the TV theme, we moved on to check out the area of Nashville revitalized by Mike Wolfe - American Pickers and his restored warehouse district containing many stores including Antique Archeology. Cool area. Not tempted to buy anything but did move on to sample some Tennessee moonshine. I know y’all are shocked by that!
We needed to let Kate get some exercise. So we stopped at a near by park which had the super cool sea serpent that is a tile mosaic
Met our favorite niece, Megan, after she got off work and we checked out Belle Meade Plantation and winery.
Belle Meade Plantation began in 1807 with a log cabin and 250 acres. Over time, and with the dedication of the Harding and Jackson families and the slave workers who lived here before and after Emancipation, this site became one of the largest thoroughbred horse farms in the South.
We toured the house and then stopped for a tasting at the winery and enjoyed a bottle in their patio.
