Nashville, Tennesee

We had a wonderful time in Nashville for 5 days. There were no major gliches and everyone had a great time. We had 14 students and 7 sponsors (my mother-in-law included) that went to the National Journalism Association Convention. The sponsors did more sightseeing than the kids got to. We saw the Ryman Auditormium where the Grand Old Opry is playing right now, the capital building, and President Andrew Jackson's home. The trees were still changing colors so we have tons of pictures of trees. I guess it was obvious we don't have any at home. We stayed at the Opryland Hotel. It was amazing. It is so big and so beautiful - there is really no way to descibe it. One picture is of my mother-in-law and I in a limo. There were 4 of us sponsors waiting downtown for the hotel shuttle as a limo pulled up. The driver asked if we were headed to the Opryland and said he would take us for $5 each. We decided it was a good deal so off we went. It was a fun end to that day. Next year's convention is in Philadelphia so we are already making plans to go. This was a great trip with great kids and sponsors. We couldn't have asked for anything better.
