If you want to visit a truly Southern city that is growing leaps and bounds in size and cultural activities, then you might want to consider Nashville Tennessee. It is in the real heart of the South and has many different interesting and fun things to do, see, and hear. The city itself is lovely and there is no big city anywhere that will try harder to make you feel right at home.
When you visit Nashville you might want to consider staying at the luxurious Opryland Hotel Indoor Gardens and Collections. The greenery alone inside this place is breathtaking and lovely to walk through. There are three gardens to see where you can sit and relax and just enjoy the fountains and plants.
Almost anyone who knows anything about country music knows that Nashville is the country music capital of the world. You can go down to Music Row and visit many of the places that some of the greatest and most well known singers have gotten their start. Even today, there have music events in some of the smaller bars and lounges where you just might see some of your favorite country music artist giving a benefit concert or just stopping by.
While you are on Music Row you will have to stop into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Here you can learn all about some of the great singers of this style of music such as Hank Williams, George Jones, and so many more. If you love country music or music in general, you will not want to miss the chance to visit Music Row.
Nashville also has a great newer water park called Wave Country. This is one of the most fun filled activities for families. It features several great water slides and has a wave simulating pool that is huge. If you come in the summer time, you will surely want to spend a day soaking up some southern sun while your children splash and slide the day away.
There is the Cumberland Science Center that is also good clean family entertainment. The General Jackson Showboat is a nice change of pace to dine on a boat and be entertained at the same time. Nashville also has a new symphony and hall if you like music with a little more classic style.
When you visit Nashville, besides just the wonderful things to do in and around the city , you will probably want to just take a little drive around the beautiful countryside while you are there. It is truly the South at its very best.

The Road Trip
The Road Trip
It the 1950s, when car travel was pretty much the norm, a real mystic developed about taking car trips for vacation. It was during that time, when the interstate highway systems were being developed in America, that the famous “Route 66″ came into being. Before too long “route 66″ became a metaphor for getting out and seeing America. That is really when the idea of sight seeing and trying to take in the really great things this country has to offer became possible.
That popular mythology of getting out there and discovering the world of America surfaced in a lot of popular ways. The book “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac, while about more than just travel and sightseeing, spoke to an exploding need and desire in all Americans to know their country better face to face. A little later that urge to travel that was bubbling to the surface in all kinds of ways became more popularized by a TV show “Route 66″.
That part of being American which comes out as the urge to travel and see everything there is to see is part of our patriotism. But it is also a big part of the American spirit of adventure that is what brought our ancestors over here from the home country. The courage and desire to explore is just part of what makes Americans tick and it is one of the many reasons we love to get out there and see everything we can see.
That desire to get out there “on the road” is just as much part of how you and I as Americans tick today as it was when travel was new. Even though we have ample travel options especially by air, there is something irreplaceable about driving across the country, discovering its amazing sights from the front seat of an automobile.
So if you think we are suggesting you actually plan a cross country car safari for nothing more than the sheer joy of being “on the road again”, you are exactly right! When we talk about the great sightseeing high spots in America, it’s easy to talk about the big ones such as the Washington Monument or Niagara Falls. But there are hundreds of tucked away sights that are a sheer delight to “discover” when you just come across them in your cross country car trip.
Small towns and out of the way highways and byways have some unique and unforgettable sights of their own. Think of how you will wow your friends when you come back from your road trip adventure with pictures of…
- The strange but oddly beautiful Cadillac Ranch of song fame. As you drive along the badlands of Texas, don’t drive off the road when you look out and see a field full of Cadillacs buried upside down in the Texas soil back ends sticking up like some bizarre experiment in farming.
- An off the road spot where you can actually mine for gold in the black hills of South Dakota.
- A desert in the middle of Oklahoma with sand dunes suitable for dune buggy rides.
- A massive replica of the pyramids of Egypt. And you don’t need a turban to see it. Just take a few minutes off from the Grand Ol’ Opry and visit this sight in the heart of Nashville Tennessee.
The fun sights you can see on the road in a car trip across the majestic expanse of America will be sights that will stand out in your mind as much as the great and very well known sights that everybody enjoys. And don’t be surprised if you see a look of envy in your friend’s eyes when they realize you were the one who had the guts to get out there and put your tires to the road and discover America all over again.
