Took a little trip to Nashville Part 3
This is a continuation of the trip that my wife and I took to Nashville, TN a couple of years ago. It was a great time and if you ever get the chance to visit I encourage you to do so.
Easter Sunday
The Bluebird
My wife and I are fans of the TV show Nashville that used to be on ABC, but is now on CMT. We enjoyed it more in the earlier seasons when they played more music, but we still watch it now. I believe it is in it's final season. Anyway a large part of the show used to revolve around the Bluebird Cafe. We decided to take swing by the real Bluebird Cafe and see what it looked like. Even before the TV show the real Bluebird Cafe has quite a storied history and has been host to many famous and up and coming performers over the years. It is actually a bit outside of Nashville and is just a pretty nondescript store front in a strip mall as you can see from the picture. We were happy to have visited it though. It was closed when we drove by, so the only pictures I have are of the outside.
On our way to Lookout Mountain
My intro picture was taken on our drive down 24 heading to Chattanooga. It is a pretty exciting drive as you head south. Lots of elevation changes and I have read it can get pretty hazardous when the weather conditions are bad. The picture here to the left is as we got closer to the town. We were hoping to visit a couple of local attractions in the area before we went to the aquarium. One of them was Ruby Falls and the other one was Lookout Mountain.
At the Aquarium
We got lunch at a local brewery in Chattanooga and then headed back to Nashville. The weather turned a little on our way back and it took longer than the two hours we drove getting down there. It probably wouldn't be as bad in the summer, but it was still March/April when we went.
Back in Nashville
We relaxed at our hotel for a while and then we decided it was probably time to start thinking about dinner. We looked online and called around and found this local chain coffee shop called Frothy Monkey. We stopped in and got our food. It was fantastic. My wife got a chicken and tortellini dish while I got a small steak with brussels sprouts and potatoes.

After dinner we just went back to our room and relaxed because we knew we had a lot planned for the next day. Stay tuned for our final day in Nashville. I will be posting about it next week. Missed the first two days of our trip? You can check them out here:

Also I look forward to your comments. I know my wife and I only scraped the surface of what Nashville has to offer and we plan on visiting again this year. Is there anything we absolutely have to check out?

Very cool! Thanks for this. I am going to be meeting a good friend in Nashville in the spring. I usually watch these types of videos on Youtube. it's really cool to see that can experience your travel in blog form just as nicely! Thanks for the great tips.

@bozz that castle looks pretty epic for Nashville! And the food... man you've got my stomach growling now.
Looks like y'all had quite the trip. Are y'all from Tennessee or just visiting the state?
The castle was in Chattanooga. We were just visiting the state. Thanks for the comment.
Nice - that looks like a great trip to Nashville. I have never been there, but my in-laws lived there right when I started dating my husband. I sadly missed out on a trip there, but I hear it's a pretty fun place. Looks like a great aquarium and really tasty dinner. We don't get stuff like that around here! That would be nice though. ;) Great pics!
Love those jellyfish pics :)
