Tuesday 3-27-12 thru Saturday 3-31-12

Well, we had a great time in Natchez Mississippi and on Tuesday morning (27th) we started out on another adventure up the Natchez Trace.    WELL, after about 50 miles of good road and good driving and one stop that actually had space for our motorhomes we pulled into a camping area on the Trace to have lunch and possibly just have a short day and stay for the night and continue on up the trace on wednesday.   NO WAY!!!!   We had lunch realized we had NO    cell service, therefore no internet, no satalite due to the trees and Linda and I looked at Jim and Larry and said, let's move on.
Well, we decided to get off the Trace and go to Vicksburg.  Now two things, Linda has a friend there, unfortunately she was out of town, but there are Casinos there and Linda loves that.   SO we spent one night in Vicksburg and decided to go to Memphis, Tennessee to Graceland.    Larry and I had never been there but Mathenys had but were willing to do it again.   So we got a campground for two nights right across from Graceland, did the tour of the grounds, went downtown, ate ribs, listened to music on Beale Street and then on Friday morning we headed to Nashville.  
On the way to Nashville I decided to call the son of a friend of ours from Michigan who lives in Jackson, Tn and we stopped and had lunch with Jerry Switalski.  Hadn't seen him in about 12 years.Got to Nashville about 4 pm and set up in the campground and just chilled.  Saturday morning we just caught up on things that needed doing in the mh and about 3:30 went for a Backstage Tour of the Opry, had a bite to eat and then on the the Grand Ole Opry.   What a show,    Rickey Skaggs, Bill Anderson and Jim Ed Brown were co hosting and Crystal Gayle, Patti Loveless , John Conlee and others were the preformers,   We had a great time.
Today Ally and her family are stopping by on their way home from Florida.   The kids don't know we are here so it willbe a surprize for them.
Pictures later.,

Good for you traveling and touring. I'll bet the Trace was beautiful in the spring. We love that ride!
