National Lampoon’s Ipe Family Vacation – Day 4 (Tuesday)

On board the Music City Trolley Hop On/Off Tour.

On board the Music City Trolley Hop On/Off Tour.

Tuesday morning, after a delicious breakfast, we all piled into our car. Next stop: the gas station!

After that? Nashville!

We drove in, parked the car in a lot, and purchased tickets to this hop on / hop off trolley tour of Nashville. While the big perk is that one can “hop off and hop on” at one of 17 various stops to further delve into Nashville, we didn’t have too much time for that.  Apart from lunch at the Farmer’s Market, and Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park (which was across the street from the Farmer’s Market), we stayed on the Trolley. Next time, we’ll try to make more time to hit up the cool attractions we saw, such as the Johnny Cash Museum.

At lunch time, we stopped at the Farmer’s Market, but toured Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park before we went to eat. Nice Farmer’s Market, by the way. Looked like many state employees walk over to eat and enjoy the park grounds.

One gets very thirsty after touring a town like Nashville. The drinks are always flowing at Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery. And we're out on the patio! — with Joel Ipe, Doug Kondorf and Kathy Connelly at Rock Bottom Brewery Nashville.

Back on the Trolley, we toured a few more locations, including Music Row. Eventually, we got back to the starting point around 4 – 5 pm. We walked a few blocks to Rock Bottom Brewery, because we were…. thirsty. We grabbed some seats on the patio in the shade, ordered drinks and some appetizers, and chatted for a long while.
