We left Gatlinburg and drove another four hours to Nashville, Tennessee where we checked into the amazingly huge and gorgeous Gaylord Opryland Resort Hotel. This place was incredible, had four different wings with a full tropical jungle in every wing, a lake with boat tours, an indoor water park (which the kids LOVED!!), restaurants, shopping, etc, and it was totally decked out for Christmas. We could have stayed inside the hotel the entire time and not been able to see and do everything the hotel offered! However, we had a blast in downtown Nashville, too, and loved people-watching, eating good food, and listening to the musicians play at each and every doorway...

Like a little mini Belagio fountain coordinated to Christmas music and the Christmas story...

Water falls and two lazy rivers for Brooklyn, Presley, and Berkley...
We couldn't stay in the hotel forever, especially with the famous downtown Nashville within a few minutes drive, so my mom hired a driver to take us around to all the sites. This donut shop in Nashville came highly recommended...

A quick stop at the Grand Ole Opry House in the pouring rain...

When the fun and 10 days were over, we all parted ways at the airport and started thinking about where we should go for Christmas next year.
