The last few stops on our journey included Nashville, TN, Birmingham, AL, and Meridian, MS. The latter two were just overnighters; we didn't even bother to disconnect the trailer from the truck. We just hung out and relaxed at the campgrounds; there really wasn't enough time to explore the area nor at this point, did we have the inclination. We were ready to get to Bay St. Louis!
Our last free day was spent in Nashville. Charlie suggested we check out the American Pickers store (Antique Archaeology); we are fans of the show. It was fun to visit but honestly, really wasn't anything special. We then headed over to Opry Mills - a huge mall right next to the Grand Ole Opry. We did stroll the grounds of the Opry but opted out of the tour - we just weren't all that interested. I was surprised how large and modern the music hall is! We entered Opry Mills through a large Bass Pro; those stores are always an adventure in their own right! Walking through the mall, we headed to have lunch at the Aquarium Restaurant, great ambiance!
On Saturday night at our campground in Nashville, a d.j./singer performed on their outdoor patio- which was right near where we were parked. She was very good and we listened for a while but her 2-1/2 hour "concert" was just a bit too long. I think Charlie and I were the only attentive audience; eventually even we went inside. Seems like everyone and their brother are hoping to be discovered in Nashville. Even Opry Mills had open mic with lots of performers waiting to get their chance. There is definitely a lot of talent out there! I guess you need a lot of luck (and probably know someone in the business)
Birmingham South RV Park - Great Place!
Temperatures have gradually increased the further south we traveled especially at night. We were close to the freezing mark when we left on October 14th, and now are in the 50's-60's. During the day, mid to higher 70's. The sunshine is divine, and we are hoping to enjoy time on the Gulf Coast beaches.
