third man

in the record store there was this really cool recording booth.  you could go in and make a couple minute recording and out would pop a vinyl recording! it was pretty neat- while we were there a guy with his guitar and a girl both crammed in there and played their hearts out.  and a minute later they had a vinyl record of their effort.

everyone poking around, checking out the cool records!

they even had a big van out front that they use as a traveling record store.  i'll bet they go to flea markets and music festivals with that thing.  what a great idea!

nash night

out on the rooftop bar with everyone.

we stopped to play a game or two of pool.

a couple lovely ladies checked us out as we played...

setting up my game winning shot.  (by the way, i did not win the game)

aaron and i enjoying a drink together.

chef aaron rocking out the bacon makin'!

opryland backstage

diana and lissa at the restaurant.

aaron seems a bit unwilling to have a special moment with me...

bradley brassfield up on stage, singing his heart out!

distillary

its a pretty unassuming building.  at first we werent sure we were in the right place.

going on the tour and checking it all out.

the actual distiller they use.  after its been in there then they put it in the barrels.

after the distillery, we met up with everyone else at a brewery near by (sensing a theme, are you?).

nash boys

enjoying the street life downtown nash!

the great view from the rooftop bar.

a street magician doing his thing!

a quick stop back at the tot place- of course!

enjoying the live music.

we finally found a bar that had the perfect mood- relaxed and chill.

aaron even caught the eye of a cute girl- i conveniently excused myself to the bathroom and took my time getting back...

out wandering around as we looked for the next cool place.

hotel nash 2

chilling out and eating pizza.

chowing down!

this one has a whole story behind it, but i'm not going to share it...

hotel nash 1

we are much to thrifty to actually park in the hotel lot because we would have had to pay.  so instead we parked across the street at the dukes of hazzard museum!  needless to say, aaron and i wandered through that place for a couple minutes before going to the crazy hotel.

my lovely wife and i in the hotel jungle.

aaron getting real close and personal with mr. daniels.

i don't think he enjoyed this as much as i did.

a look at part of the jungle inside this strange place.  we could even go on a boat tour through the place!
