Nashville

We went to Nashville the last weekend in January for a late Christmas celebration.  We were there on Chinese New Year, so we went to a celebration that was being held near Vanderbilt.

It was fun, but they were not prepared for the crowds that had come, so we did not stay long.


We watched a folk tale about a stone cutter done with puppets.  Here was the mountain puppet.  

We stood in line to have Eric's name written in Chinese calligraphy.  

A lady was coming through the line writing your name on a piece of paper.  



I was impressed, though, when we finally made it to the man, he read the name off as Eric.  I had wondered if the symbols were just a representation, or if they truly were his name.  


It was fun.  I wish we could have stayed for the rest of the program.  However there was no stage, and Eric could not see anything over all the standing people (I couldn't either).  


Our small crew waiting on everyone else to arrive. 


Christmas gifts to take to Dexter's.  




This kid is used to working out every night.  He struggles some if he misses several days in a row.  So we found the fitness center at the hotel to be very useful.  Love that boy!!!!


You will have to look really hard, buy it snowed for an hour or two while we were there.  Heavy, big flakes.  


Tried to get a picture, but you really can't see anything except a little in our hair.
