We started the day by heading to the Parthenon. It was right near our hotel, we had to go in. It was a bit insane really, reproductions of all sorts of antiquities, and most of the originals aren't owned by Greece, but by the British. No surprise really. Anyway, it was something to see. You can probably tell that Ethan wasn't such a great sleeper in the hotel. Napped on the trolley, and at the Opry. Didn't even know he was on stage. He did enjoy the extra large guitars outside, however.
After the Opry we found some bbq for lunch and then headed to the Hermitage. It was lovely, nearly as Jackson had left it. Ethan really enjoyed the grounds and investigating the plants and animals. There were some rather large cows and a horse drawn wagon. A little more challenging were the slave quarters. It's not exactly possible to explain that to a four year old, especially when I can't comprehend that kind of inhuman cruelty as an adult. On a lighter note, we left Nashville to drive to Pigeon Forge.
