Nashville
Our drive to Nashville, Tennessee was on a cloudy day, thankfully! After checking into the new Nashville Four Seasons, we spotted an American Cruise Line ship out our window. It was American Symphony in town for 2 days. We continued our walk to Garth and Tricia’s place – Friends in Low Places – for dinner and live music. Oh my gravy! The sidewalks were packed! Very stressful guiding my scooter among the day drinkers and party people. People do not like to share the cross walks or sidewalks. Almost took a couple of them out for not giving way and room to oncoming pedestrian traffic. Not my proudest moments but it woke them up a bit! Get your nose out of your cell phone and watch where you are going! We tried G&T’s wedding cake. It’s a pass but hey! Had to try it! We said good-bye to Garth and Tricia and headed over to say hi again to John Rich – John Rich’s Redneck Riviera – John honors veterans and first responders as do we. He just gives them their first drink on the house. There are patches from law enforcement and first responders all over the bar. We enjoyed the band but I personally wished they had stepped out of the 80’s rock a bit more and into the country side of things. Karen enjoyed herself though and sang and danced (sorry I’ve been sworn to not show the video!).
Poor place of an orange sign IMHO

You can make your own but it’s cheaper to buy a pre-made package! Very sweet but yummy! 
Best biscuits and gravy ever! 
We planned a return visit to Puckett’s Restaurant. Still a great place for biscuits and gravy. Biscuits were fluffy and tasty. We brought some back to give to the front desk. There was no step up to get in so it’s easy for those using mobility devices. Brittany was a great server.
Small sprinkles told us it was time to go inside and take a much needed nap. Which was constantly interrupted with people slamming their doors shut. You know you can pull it closed quietly? Try it! It works!
Memphis
Our next leg of our flying road trip brings us to Memphis, Tennessee, home of Graceland and Elvis Presley. We stayed at The Guest House, which offered shuttle transportation to/from the airport and Graceland Mansion and our tour. Also on the grounds is the world’s largest Department 56 showroom. Yes, we bought something! The hotel shuttles have handicap lifts which made it easy to get on and off. Before our 4PM (don’t arrive early!) Karen returned the car at the airport and rode the shuttle back to The Guest House. The mansion that the Presley family lived in shows Elvis’ unique decorating tastes and likes. The tour did not permit an upstairs visit out of respect for the family’s wishes. Presley Motors has impressive cars and motorcycles. There’s a chapel on the hill beside the hotel.
Every night in The Guest House there is a special snack offered – PBJ sandwich and chocolate milk. The line is long but moves fast. Another Elvis treat was his deep-fried PBB sandwich – peanut butter and banana, served with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. Wayyyy too sweet! But yes, we had to try it! You can get it a the hotel restaurant EP.

All too soon it’s time to grab the early shuttle back to Memphis airport and return home. To rest up for the next trip coming up very soon! My body is taking longer to recover from our trips but I still have some more in me! Stay tuned for the rest of this year’s road trips and cruises!
Thank you…..thank you very much!
