The Parthenon

Nashville's Centennial Park contains a full-sized replica of the Parthenon. I really like the beautiful reliefs in the pediment above the columns.

Centennial Park, Nashville

Centennial Park in Nashville was the site of our second date on April 7, 2001. So when Betsy and I went to Nashville in June to celebrate our anniversary, we just had to check out the park. The gardens had summer blossoms instead of spring flowers, but they were still beautiful.

Lake Watauga

Betsy and I went to Nashville on June 23 to celebrate our anniversary. We first went to Centennial Park, which we had visited many times when we dated and were first married. We've often walked around this lake, but it wasn't until I checked our photos taken with the GPS tracker that I learned it had a name -- Lake Watauga.

Country Music Hall of Fame

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)

Nashville is Music City, USA, and is best known for its country music. The Grand Ole Opry began broadcasting in 1925 and is the oldest continuous radio program in the United States and the longest-running live radio program in the world.

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum isn't that old (the building in the picture opened in 2001), but it is interesting nonetheless. It is located in downtown Nashville and you don't have to be a country music fan to enjoy it.
