Tennessee

We spent 3 days in Tennessee. The first night was spent in Kingsport. Not much there but we did have a fun little walk and picnic lunch at Bays Mountain Park. They had animal habitats set up for bobcats, otters, wolves, deer, and birds. The picture above is of Broadway in Nashville. We were there on a Monday night but still found some live country music to listen to. Nashville felt like the 1950's. The following day we moved on to Memphis. Despite the less than stellar hotel I booked on expedia, we had fun downtown. We spent some time on Beale Street and saw this guy and his blues band in a park. They were amazing. We also ate at two VERY good BBQ places in Memphis. We tried The Pig on Beale for dinner and had lunch the next day at Nealy's. We both preferred Nealy's! We spent the 4th of July touring the American Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. We both thought it was worth the admission fee. We left Memphis in the afternoon on July 4th and drove through Arkansas. We spent a very disappointing 4th of July night sans fireworks in Texarkana, Arkansas. We didn't find anything interesting enough to take pictures of in Arkansas. Enough said.
