Austin Cottingham - 10 - Nashville things

When first thinking of taking a trip to Nashville we wanted to go see something spectacular like a concert or a special event. We found a popular musician that we watch often review guitars and other musical instruments. When starting to book a trip to Nashville and the places that we would eat at we found tons of places. Me and my dad left Monday around noon and I had to drive for around two and a half hours in pouring rain. The storm on the way to Nashville was rough, most people on the road were going under the speed limit by ten miles an hour. There were also many people ran off into ditches waving for emergency response officers. About twenty minutes after me and my dad switched he had to stop at a gas station. When we first pulled in it looked normal, although on second look there was two Humvee's parked into the left most gas pumps. Me and my dad thought they were there for helping people out of ditches and helping the emergency teams with problems. It was military police, so they might be there on official business. Then once the storm cleared driving was not near as bad because of the hydroplaning the Jeep creates. We took the interstate all the way to Nashville and it took around four and a half hours, almost five hours. Entering Nashville was a pain and a half because of the constant traffic and people running across the road without a care in the world of being hit. Plus Nashville is way bigger than Memphis, so that means that the business end of the city should be bigger. This was not the case when going to Nashville and looking around. Although there was no shortage of eating places stacked with places that sell souvenirs and trinkets. There was not a bunch of places we could go because of the foot traffic and the age groups doing things. There was a band in every place we went because of the appeal of the music industry in the  surrounding area. Anyways there is a part two to this so if you want to see the rest of the story.
