Sorry we have been absent. There is a reason: We haven't done much.
We left Biloxi (FINALLY!) this past Saturday. Our thought had been to wander north and spend time in Montgomery, then Birmingham...THEN Nashville. But Mother Nature and her friend, the Polar Vortex, teamed up against us and we rushed north to avoid traveling on sub-freezing days.
The morning we left Biloxi, it was 19 degrees. Our water hose was frozen, and no one was out for their usual morning stroll. It was C-O-L-D!
However, on Saturday and Sunday in Nashville, it did warm up to the 50's during the day, with bright sunshine perfect for travel. But the roadside creeks had frozen, and there were cascades of frozen water down the cliffs lining the freeways.
We settled into the Nashville KOA. Again, it was COLD! Monday morning had a wind chill factor of 12 degrees. Since we are flying back to the west coast in a couple of days, we checked Irv (our RV) into Camping World for for a couple of weeks for some minor maintenance. It's a lot safer than leaving it in an RV park where things could freeze. Then we checked ourselves into Holiday Inn for a couple of days.
Today we tried to visit the Country Music Hall of Fame. But, on arriving at the door, we discovered it is closed on Tuesdays. It was way too cold to walk around Nashville, so we drove around a bit and then went to a movie.
See? I told you we haven't done anything. We don't even have any photos to share. Sorry.
Tomorrow we are flying out to the West coast. Stacy is going to Oakland/Sacramento to see her mom. Jack is heading to Portland for work and family before meeting up with Stacy in the Bay Area on Monday. We are scheduled to return to Nashville on 2/6. THEN we will finally do the touristy things there. Maybe even including The Grand Ol' Opry!
You will want to hear about that, I'm sure!
