Day Twenty - Lanesville, Indiana

By some miracle, Jess and I were awake by 9:00 this morning and managed to pack up and be out of the hotel by 10:00. We headed straight back downtown and found a place to park by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The Museum was impressive, it included pictures, video, sound recordings, clothing, instruments and other mementos of famous persons that have influenced the evolution of country music.

Our next stop was lunch, we were both feeling a little off from last night and though that a decent lunch might help. We ended up going back down to Lower Broadway (where all of the bars and clubs are that we were at last night) to Jack's (the place that the police officers had recommended last night). I tried the beef brisket, it was pretty good but the really impressive food was the mac and cheese and the baked beans. The Kansas barbecue sauce was a little sweet, but tasty.

We also went back into The Stage, to pick up some pretty sweet tee-shirts, and a pair of mason jar mugs for me.

Unfortunately, we had heard that the Grand Ole Opry was closed to tours because of a concert, so we started the drive out to Louisville. We passed back into Eastern Time, but only for the night. We made it to Lanesville, Indiana (just across the state line from Kentucky) by 6:00 and found our way to Jessica's Uncle Brian's house. The house is beautiful, I wish Bryce and I were headed this way so we could buy it. :)

The three of us then drove down towards Louisville and found an Olive Garden. Believe it or not (especially if you know me well), this is the first Olive Garden stop on the trip. The Zuppa was delicious as usual, as was the fettuccine.

I was dozing off in the car (huge surprise there, considering I slept less than three hours last night), but once we got back to the house it was time for showers (the hotel room was ghetto last night), laundry and hanging out with Uncle Brian until bedtime.
