Trip to Tennessee... Day 8.. and part of 9

The day started out quite nicely, being able to tear down and pack up with everything dry and all, but that is one of the few high points of the day. We headed out for Nashville and made good time, found the KOA to be a nice one, with lots of stuff to do while in camp. The kids went swimming, the dog played in the dog park for a while, Cora and I were in watermelon seed spitting contest, and then the heat hit. Man, did it hit. High humidity, and no moving air. It was easily close to 95 degrees. So as we had nothing planned, we decided to spend the afternoon at Opry Mills, trying to beat the heat. This is a huge mall with hundreds of stores, but many that are similar to what we have back home. We did spend some time at the Bass Pro shop and had a nice meal at the Rainforest Cafe. We left the dog in the car with 20 minute visits to start it up, run the AC and keep him cool. Then the rain hit, and it poured down and did not stop. (As I write this, it is still raining the following morning) So we huddled in the hot sticky camper, read some books, played around on the computer, and finally watch a couple of episodes for Battlestar Galactica. (Which I must say is a very fine SciFi series) I don't know what we will plan today (day 9)with the rain and all. We are hoping to get to Downtown Nashville at some point, but no need to hurry as it is STILL RAINING! It has only not rained on us for two days so far... I hope this stops soon. A real cramp on our fun and plans! Oh well. More later.
