Nashville, Tennessee, is a little bit of heaven on earth. I lived in Nashville for five years and we could see the Grande Ole Opry out our back door. Living in or just visiting Nashville is unbelievable with all the attractions that this beautiful city has to offer. Depending on what you would like to see you should take your time and try to ingest the beauty, as we did on our first visit.

We will mention some of the Nashville attractions that we visited on our first trip. After moving there we went back several times. The attractions never seem to grow old. We enjoyed the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The specialty tours will take you back into country music history with some of your very favorite country singers. We suggest that you try to experience all that you can and take your time with this attraction.

Another trip that we thoroughly enjoyed and still enjoy is the General Jackson Showboat Lunch and Dinner Cruise. This paddlewheel river boat is four stories high. The cruise will take you along the Cumberland River, past many historic points of interest. You never tire of the beauty surrounding the Nashville area. Tickets for cruise packages may seem a little high, depending on how many are in your group. We had my wife and I and our 2 year old and six year old. We paid about $150.00. The baby was free. The six year old still talks about the "big boat ride".

If you happen to be in Nashville in the winter then you will be there to see the Radio City Rocketts perform their holiday precision dance show. This holiday show was enjoyed by the three of us and it held the interest of our two year old.
Great City, but not perfect

Everyone around the city is nice (typical good ole boys). The thing is, it's Music City. Everywhere you go, there is live music. You can't get away from it. About 75% of the younger population are hipsters and trying to make it big with their band. The night life is great, lots of tourists downtown. You will see a lot of famous people just walking around town. The city itself is spread out and doesn't have the hustle and bustle of a Chicago or New York. Many people do drive to work, but their is public transportation up to 15-20 minutes outside of downtown. If you are looking for a growing city and like live music (especially country) then this city is perfect for you.

I visited the city of Nashville in March 2009 and it was an amazing trip. The people are friendly, the restaurants are great, and the culture is very entertaining in any party of the city. As an avid country music lover, I would love to move there because you are surrounded with the country music scene. Everywhere you look there are aspiring country music singers trying to get famous. I stayed at the Opryland Hotel and it was extravagant with the greatest steakhouse you will ever eat at called the "Charlie Daniels Steak House."

You can't visit Nashville without seeing a show at the Grand Ole Opry. I watched a performance, and loved every minute of it. Downtown Nashville is full of restaurants, shops, bars and attractions. If you don't like country music it wouldn't be wise to spend the day downtown, because you will hear singers singing on any corner. The only thing that I didn't like was the Nashville weather. It was more humid than I am used to living in. Overall, I would love to visit the city of Nashville again!
