Speaking of getting out of my comfort zone, today is a travel day. Off to Nashville with my daughter, who has a reunion with her Governor's School class at a place called Dave & Buster's, which I presume is the "grown-up" equivalent of Chuck-E-Cheese, from the looks of their TV ads.
The drive is about 5-hours each way, a bit much for a day trip, so we're staying overnight and may or may not have the opportunity to take in something besides the Opry Mills Mall and environs.
For example, the Parthenon is in Nashville. My daughter was mortified when a fellow student in her 8th grade Western Civ class asked if Greece's Parthenon was modeled after the one in Nashville.
I guess not everyone has a grandma who gives National Geographic subscriptions at Christmas.

It's NOT modeled after the Nashville one? Where did you get that information? Jeez.
ReplyDeleteThat is a long drive. I know I couldn't do it, especially after staying up late the last couple of nights.
ReplyDeleteWell, Chimp, we crossed West into the Central Time Zone, so it really wasn't that long :-)
ReplyDeleteJ - I am so sorry to be the one to tell you the news. Likewise, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, TN is not the original. Graceland in Memphis is, however, the real deal.
I was wracking my brain trying to figure out how to find who where. I am so glad that you found me!
ReplyDeleteHeh heh. That's funny. Imagine if castles were modelled after Disneyland...
ReplyDeleteI suppose the next intelliwench bubble burster will be about Caesars Palace in Vegas, right?
ReplyDeleteWow, some interesting somethings in Nashville, besides what one might hear!
