Why is Everything Closed in Nashville!!!

So today we went into Nashville to check out the Grand Ole Opry house, but upon arrival, we found out that the whole estate is closed down until October due to the massive flooding they received in May. After checking out some brochures in the Radison, we decided to go to a banjo factory to see how those joyful instruments are made. The best part is, it was right next door! But of course, it too was also closed temporarily because of the floods. Lame!!!

So we decide to go to 21st street as recommended by a friend of ours. It was a pretty cool area, but sadly, only about a couple of blocks long. From there, we head over to Vanderbilt to check out their school. After going through the massive medical school on campus, we got hungry and decided to head to downtown to get Jack's BBQ. Finally, we found a few things that were open! We ended up getting identical meals of pork shoulder sandwiches and mac and cheese.   They were pretty solid but we have had better BBQ on the trip so far. Here's hoping Memphis lives up to its name and tops all of that.

From there, Kristal and I hit up a famous record store, and take a peek inside the Ryman Auditorium, where Johnny Cash and June Carter once played. We decided to not pay the 17 bucks to take a tour, and we were on our way back to Bowling Green. So in case you couldn't tell, don't come to Nashville on a Sunday!!

After that, we had some down time before our bro joined us for Buffalo Wild Wings. There we got some honey bbq boneless wings, a chicken parmesan flat bread pizza, and then some sweet bbq wings. Delish. We also played some good ole trivia. I dominated the sports IQ section, and then Kristal and Colin split two "Wild Trivia" games. 

After dinner, my bro showed me an interesting documentary about competitive donkey kong playing, called  The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.  For anyone who remotely loves video games, I would highly recommend it.   Next up, we checked out Kick Ass on Blu Ray. So epiccccc! Love hit girl.  And now we are watching Eurotrip. Its TBS edited, but still freakin awesome. And that brings an end to our time in Bowling Green. Tomorrow we head down to Memphis for Elvis Week!!! We are pretty stoked. Stay tuned. Thanks for reading.
