Monticello

Here is a post of Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of the United States. This house is very amazing considering it is well over 200 years old. Photography was not permitted inside of the house. Everything inside is the original and is very preserved. Ironically, Thomas died on July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years to the day that the Declaration of Independence was signed.

Paris, Tennessee

I always wanted to visit Paris and see the Eiffel Tower and I did that. The only thing, it was in Paris, TN.

The Parthenon

We took a much needed vacation South this summer and visited Tennessee. Our first stop was in the Music City of Nashville. This is one of the best cities I've visited. It's a big city but it doesn't come off being big. It's very clean, easy to drive around in and the people are extremely friendly.

Hard Rock Cafe Memphis

My 38th Hard Rock Cafe was to Memphis. After a long day at Graceland in the heat, I just wanted to get in and get out so I just made a stop to their rock shop for a few items. I would like to enjoy a meal here on my next trip.

Hard Rock Cafe Nashville

My 37th Hard Rock Cafe is to Nashville. This is one of the nicer cafes with the friendliest staff. It was damaged by the floods in May and had recently reopened.
