Trip to Tennessee

Kentucky borders 7 states and is almost centrally located in the east, that makes it a strategic location. You can access almost all of the east coast within a couple day drive(assuming you don't make intermittent sight seeing stops). This year we took advantage of this strategic location and traveled to some of the neighboring states.

To end the year on travel note, we made a trip during the winter break to Tennessee, "The Volunteer State" and covered Memphis and Nashville. As the choices are many, we narrowed down on few places to cover in and around these cities,

• National Civil Right Museum- site of Martin Luther King's assassination.
• Rock and Soul Museum
• Elvis Presley's home - Graceland
• Cotton Museum
• The Parthenon
• The Hermitage- 7th President Andrew Jackson's home
• Country Music Hall of Fame
• Grand Ole Oprey - Ryman studio
• Corinth Battle - National Historic Site

The trip was enlightening for all of us as we were a little more knowledgeable on origin of Rock and roll and Soul music as well as Civil war and frontier life. I will be sharing details from our trip in upcoming posts.
