Nashville Vacation 2009

Just returned from a fun long weekend in Nashville with Mom & Dad. They met us there to pick up the boys for a week. Here's a picture of mom and I in front of the Parthenon (a replica) in Centennial Park: Ben and Alek in a self-pushing swing in Centennial Park:

Mom and Dad riding on the Duck Boat Tour. A Duck Boat is an old military vehicle that can drive on the road and float like a boat. We toured Nashville and then went for a ride in the Cumberland River:

We stayed in downtown Nashville at the Homewood Suites. The building is on the National Registry of Historic Places, built in 1906. It was lovely, and right downtown. We walked to all the downtown attractions:

These pictures were taken on my cell phone, then uploaded to facebook, then downloaded to my laptop, then uploaded to blogspot. I can't figure out how to post directly to blogspot from my blackberry ... there's gotta be an app for that!
