Nashville
For the first week of my spring break, me and my family spent time together in Nashville! I got to see six days of their culture with country music, museums of the arts, and the Southern hospitality. The city was so explorational and lively to visit, each day filled with varying activities.
I carried my Nikon Zf and used a wider 28mm lens my dad let me try and used that throughout the entire week :)
Day 1: We had brunch in the hotel and visited the Pantheon (sadly the interior was temporarily closed), then we strolled around the streets making our way to Broadway, filled with honky tonk bands and music. We ended the night at the Grande Ole Opry House because we were watching… Diana Ross! She was amazing on stage and her music lifted the whole house.
Day 2: Me and my parents (my brother’s too cool for art museums) went to the Country Music Hall of Fame then a wine distillery (I didn’t take many significant photos) and tasting (not for me I’m 13 :) . We met up with my brother and went to an amazing restaurant for dinner.
Day 3: And now one of my favorite days, we drove about an hour and a half to Mammoth Cave for the Historic tour underground. It’s the longest cave system in the world stretching to 426 miles. The place was so beautiful, filled with “bottomless” pits and running water. And on the way there, we passed by a circus that was in town for a few days and went to see it after the tour, no photos since I was too immersed in flying acrobats.
I honestly don’t know what I took a photo of in the cave, one looks like lava but I surely would remember being feet away from molten rock, turned out pretty great looking though.
Day 4: Another beautiful day! I strolled around a conservatory which was actually part of a resort, it was huge and filled with an amazing aura. After that we caught a musical that was also just visiting Nashville for a week: Back to the Future! The visual effects were really impressive and I enjoyed it a ton (also no photos because that wasn’t allowed)!
Day 5: We spent our last day in Nashville go-karting (I got third!), going to Opry Mills to see the world’s greatest wax museum, and finally finishing this vacation with a fried dinner staring right at some sting rays and fish!
All in all, I had the greatest time in Nashville, the people were so kind and I hope I get to visit again some other time! It made out for fun vacation and some nice photos to show :)
