Music is a common language spoken round the world; Music builds a bridge between all peoples and all lands; Music is the link which holds us close together; Music is the bond of love in which we all clasp hands.

Worked out perfect as I wanted to see the new Opry building!
Peter has beat Joe in mini golf twice now but Joe had the faster go kart.

Spent all my time at the section of Johnny Cash & Bob Dylan.

Biking on the Cumberland River

a SUNNY day on the river bend path







We rented bikes through the Nashville B-cycle stations.
 Biked about 8 miles round trip to the Cumberland River pedestrian bridge.
Of course...the boys would get ahead of me but I would come around a bend and there they were waiting for me.
Such a sweet SON!
