So several months ago I told Mom that when I got the inheritance that I wanted to take her on vacation, where ever she wished to go. She thought about it and finally decided on Savannah. Cool, I thought. I liked the idea of going somewhere neither one of us had been to and I liked the idea of going to where one of my favorite movies was filmed. (That would be “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) plus Mom was wanting to go Paula Deen’s place.
So today as I headed to Bryson City, I called mom to let her know that the sale of the property was finally looking like it was going through (and still for the $200,000.00 we asked) so to start packing up a suitcase!
But hold up, mom changed her mind! It seems that my Aunt Melva, Pam and a few others went down to Charleston and Savannah on a Christian tour and didn’t think it was all the special. So I ask if she has other places in mind. She first suggested Myrtle Beach because she saw a commercial that said that Myrtle Beach has 280 places to eat! Leave it to my mom to keep it real and know the priorities!
Second suggestion almost caused me to wreck the car! She said “Or maybe we could go to Nashville?” HECK YEA! SO THERE MOM! WOOOOWOOOOOO!
So I am of course all about that! I always wanted to live in Nashville and if I can visit I would so go. So we talk about what we want to do. Of course we want to go to the Ryman Auditorium. We also want to visit the Hermitage and we talked about going on one of those tours to see celebrity homes. Just one warning, we will have to find just the right one. If we get on a tour that gets anywhere near the home of Josh Turner or Clay Walker, I will lose my mother. The last I will see of her is seeing her scaling a fence and breaking in the front door.
But then again better strap me in if we get within earshot of Kenny Chesney’s or I even catch a glimpse of the roof owned by Chris Cagle.
So we hope to go sometime this summer, possibly late June or July. I still think we will go to Myrtle Beach too. Cant lose the opportunity to eat our way through South Carolina.
Chris, here is the video for you all:
