Nashville...downtown

Saturday afternoon we headed downtown. Us and a few thousand other tourists! We found out that American Idol was holding auditions there in Nashville. Apparently hotel rooms were scarce and the downtown area was just crawling with people. It was hot and humid, but that didn't slow them down. The downtown area we went to was mainly Western themed shops and clubs. We got hot and tired of walking so we inquired where we could go do do REAL shopping, not the tourist stuff. We were sent to a nice little shopping district over by Vanderbilt University. Brooke found something at a little boutique over there that she had been looking for for a long time. (hard to describe. come by and check it out when we get home, it will be in her room.) I found a pair of shoes. Well, I did need a souvenir from Nashville and I thought shoes would be a better choice than a T shirt from Dolly Parton's Tourist trinkets. Just sayin'.
