The goal for today is to cross off Tennessee and Arkansas from our list of states that we have visited. We will travel to Nashville, Tenneesse to visit the Bicentennial Mall, then on to Blytheville, Arkansas just across the Missouri border.
We packed up after a wet night (again) and headed to Nashville!
On the way we were surprised to see the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. We had to stop. We spent an hour or so walking through the museum and taking way too many pictures. It was an interesting tour seeing how the Corvette has changed over the years. Mackensie especially liked choosing her favorite model.
We left Bowling Green and headed to Nashville. We arrived at the Bicentennial Mall and found a farmers market across the street. We found some fruit at the farmers market and went over the Bicentennial Mall. The Bicentennial Mall is a wall that is several blocks long that tells the history of Tennessee from prehistoric time to modern time, including significant historical points like becoming a state, the civil war, and three Governors becoming president.
We had some lunch at the food court at the farmers market and headed off to Arkansas.
I must say that Tennessee has some of the nicest, most well kept highways we've been on during this trip.
Getting to Arkansas is little complicated by the need to cross the Mississippi River. We crossed the Mississippi River into Missouri and then went back into Arkansas. We only crossed a few miles into Arkansas into Blytheville and found a hotel. That's right this time we are taking a break from the trailer and spending one night in a hotel.
The kids love the idea of a hotel; television, a pool, and breakfast in the lobby. It's nice rest Carla and I as well.
Now we can add Tennessee and Arkansas to our list of states.
Tomorrow we head to St Louis, Missouri and the St. Louis Arch.
8:30 travel time for 328 miles.
