Friends and fun in Nashville

We pulled out of Blueberry Hill early Monday morning heading for Nashville to meet up with our friends Paula & Larry Thomas for some friends and fun times in Nashville. We had side by side lot reservations at Cedars of Lebanon State park just about 20 minutes out of music city and can’t wait to see our friends.





After a day of catching up with Larry and Paula over a few cups we decided to venture into Nashville for a look see. Parking was almost enough to scare off the average visitor but after pooling our cash  and came up with the $25 for a spot in Printer Alley.                                                                                

                                                                                                    
It was Saturday afternoon and it was crazy busy just about everywhere we went so we settle on the Hardrock CafĂ© for some lunch before check some of the local bars for a few cool ones and some      down home Nashville sounds.                                                                                                               
                                                                                             

Paula found this small distillery on line for us to check out up in the back hills of Tennessee it was       quite a ride but we made it without any Deliverance moments :). Wow what gorgeous fall colours.                                                   


Okay we have arrived we are not really sure were we are but time to check it out, Somehow I was     thinking it would be this huge building but no just what you see in the picture below Short Mountain Distillery pretty cool.                                                                                                                               


"Tour time" Our guide was quite the character and sure new his whiskey and took us through the whole process start to finish.





Okay you never never never leave a distillery without of coarse some tasting and taste we did.














It was a great visit with Larry and Paula but like everything all good things come to an end so we said our goodbyes and headed south towards Florida while they where heading for Oklahoma to see there family for Thanksgiving.
