More Family Fun !!!!!

We had the blessing of having Neal's parents (Brenda and Gary) visit this past weekend. They arrived on Friday evening and left at noon on Sunday, but we were able to pack in quite a bit of action in that short amount of time. First thing Saturday morning we drove to Kentucky as neither of my parents had been there before. We just went up to Franklin, KY and we showed them where the old PIC office used to be located. We then proceeded back to Hendersonville, TN to do some quick shopping and a brief tour of Hendersonville followed by a tour of our house lot and the model home of the house we are building (FYI nothing has been started on the house yet, but all the purchase orders were cut last week and they usually start the foundation within 2 weeks of the purchase orders being placed. So hopefully they will start in the next week!!!)

We then had lunch and went back out for touring fun. Next stop..... downtown Nashville so mom and dad could find some souvenirs. It was a bit hectic downtown so we did not stay long. Next stop.... you guessed it, one of our favorite places to take people ..... the Opryland Hotel. Below are some pictures we took while at the Opryland Hotel.

Here is Mom and Dad at the Delta Entrance. Funny they left the Delta in Arkansas to visit the Delta in a TN hotel.



It's a bird, it's a plane, it's, it's............




it's us figuring out how they do service work in the domes located in the hotel. I finally saw the ladders and explained to everyone else.



Here is one of the pools with Gold fish. They were huge!!!






Gary and Brenda could not resist horsing around a little. If you come visit us you will get to take your picture here as well!!!

Looks like all the touring wore them out!!




After leaving the Opryland Hotel, we finished our drive by tours of Hendersonville and Gallatin. We had supper at Logan's Roadhouse and then Robin fixed up a very yummy apple crisp for dessert later that night (it was very yummy). We topped the trip off on Sunday with Shipley's donuts for breakfast, attending early worship service, and a brunch at O'Charleys. I think Dad's highlight of the trip was O'Charleys. Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed visiting and touring with them this past weekend, but wished they could have stayed longer. We are definitely looking forward to their next visit!
