Road Trip 04-20-09

We are off to Nashville, we have to back track through Memphis so hopefully we can make it without stopping. We get to Two Rivers RV Park. This place is close to the Grand Ole Opry. They have a nice store with a little of everything, should you need something. The Best part is that they sell tickets to the Opry and give you FREE transportation to the Opry. Something that they have added since our last visit is FREE shuttle service till 3:30 in the morning to the District Area. This is where the bars and music is happening. This should be very helpful for us. The spaces are plenty wide with mature trees for shade and full hook ups (wifi but no cable, the regular antenna picks up the local stations). There is a pool but not warm enough for it to be open yet. It is within walking distance of a Camping World. They also are the least expensive in the area $45.50 per night, welcome to Opry land.They have a nice dog walk area with dodo bags provided. Our dog Peanut gives this place 4 paws. We are going to town tonight by Jeep so we can check out things on wheels rather than just hopelessly walking around. We'll take the shuttle tomorrow. The wifi is not the best at our coach but it does work. We get to town and it is much further than I remember, about 12 miles. We find a place called COCO Cafe. We find it as a coffe house with healty drinks and no beer, we don't stay. So we end up on the main drag in the DISTRICT. Walking with no purpose and tired from the weekend. We look at Merchants Restaurant and Grill and decide that we do not want to spend a C note on dinner. We see lot's of musicians setting up getting ready to play so we pick the only place in town without Live Music. We be stupid. We were hungry and walked into a "70 beers on tap" kind of place. We Go to the Broadway Brew House. They had a flank steak in pita special and we split one and also split a Big Daddy Chicken Burrito. They are huge and look marvelous. They should have called the burrito the chicken "hide and seek burrito" because we were seeking the chicken and it was hidnig someplace beside the burrito. The pita was pretty good and the sauce that came with it was spicy and flavorful. This is like every other multi tapped bar, bar food, and ready for every tourist dollar they can snag. It was a cheap night $30. I'm sure it could be a happening place but come on LIVE music should be mandatory in a Nashville Bar in the District. It's 8 starting to rain and tonight was just a scouting night so the Indians head back to the Coach to plan tomorrow. See Ya, Brian
