Tuesday, September 27, CONTINUED - With our tummies full from eating the delicious BBQ, we headed downtown to work off the calories. We had difficulty finding parking and eventually found a spot at a meter on one of the side streets several blocks away. We only had an hour (maximum permitted), so we had to hurry. We wanted to see the State Capitol building. It is a very nice building but not as large as many of the other State Capitols we've visited. They spent their money wisely.
If you want to see the Capitol, you have to climb the steps. Good workout for Paul’s new knee
The grounds are beautiful.
Andrew Johnson the 17th President of the US.
Andrew Jackson, 7th President of the US
House of Representatives.
Senate
Marsha did get an opportunity to bang the gavel in the Senate Hall.
Marsha loves to look at ceilings. The Capitol didn’t disappoint her.
On the way back to the truck, we stopped at the War Memorial for a quick look-see. It is across the street from the Capitol.

We enjoyed our short visit to Nashville and think it is a pretty nice city. We feel comfortable here. We'll stop back again on one of our many trips when heading south for the winter.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!
Been through there many times, never stopped. Maybe some day we will check it out.
ReplyDeleteYou are truly showing us plenty of things that we'll have to see if not this time to Nashville maybe the next.
ReplyDeleteHope Paul doesn't overdo it on his knee.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Tennessee's Capitol is understated but still impressive. Nice to see the 'other' sights in Nashville!
ReplyDeleteSo much to see and do in Nashville, always worth a few visits, travel safe.
ReplyDeleteThe state capitols always have the most interesting ceilings. I've been amazed at the history behind some of the designs. That's a lot of steps for a knee replacement man:) Guess Paul handled them all right...I hope:)
ReplyDeleteI like ceilings too! but at this age I tend to look up and fall over. Nah, just dizzy.
ReplyDeleteState capitols are always interesting.
