Fat man's squeeze

Just finished our visit to Rock City. Now on the way to Ruby Falls. A gorgeous day but very chilly. Lots of trees down on Lookout Mtn from last week's storms.

I know how frustrated everyone Is that the blog pics aren't working. Please know that I have lots on my phone that EVENTUALLY will make the blogsphere. Meanwhile we've had a ton of fun in nashville and even had the guitarist dean Deleo from Stone Temple Pilots on our tour of the Hermitage. As an aging rock and roller I recognized him and after the kids realized he was famous they showed sufficient Beiber-worthy attention! Off to Applebees to watch the game! More tomorrow...

Still having major trouble posting the pictures. Not sure why but eventually I will figure it out. We have just finished at the country music hall of fame. Recorded a song and we're headed now to Wild Horse Saloon for some line dancing lessons. The kids are behaving wonderfully well. Very few "taxes" collected. We are looking for a spot to watch the Grizz tonight.

Have been having trouble sending pic or text. Very little coverage in Lakeshore. Maybe better luck in Nashville. We are soggy but having FUN!
