We made it to my parents' house and SHOWERED Tuesday night...yea!! We had a great night's sleep too. The next day my sister Sylvia had the day off of work and had free passes for Natural Bridge, so we took our last road trip excursion together! Here we are at Natural Bridge, it's the biggest one in the world or something like that. Another cool thing is that Route 11 goes right over it, but its unmarked from the road so no one stops to look. The view from underneath:
Rob and a friendly guy who answered all his questions: (apparently during the storm from Ernesto back in the beginning of September, the water was higher than his head!) We even saw wildlife other than chipmunks! A Blue Heron: The waterfall at the end of the trail: What a nice day! Beautiful weather for a small hike! Thanks Sylvie:)
We made a lot of distance that night and made it to Nashville, Tennessee by around noon on Tuesday. We didn't have a lot of time to spend there, so all we did was walk down the street that is kinda like the "olde town" to the water and then we went to the Opryland hotel. What you might want to remember if you ever go there is that their parking prices are secret---for 20 minutes or less it's like 2 bucks or something, after 20 minutes and up to 24 hours it's over $10...so we didn't know that, we went in tried to see everything in an hour hoping we would get a good deal on parking only to find that out at the gate on our way out. and we could've had it validated...oh well.
