Tomorrow We Leave for the OBX.
I am pretty excited about this. It's five times more packing than a Disney trip because we had a planning meeting and divided up the food. I think I have made about 5 different food and liquor runs over the last week (Yeah - I can DRINK!!!!!!) I have all the non-perishables packed in my car. All the perishables will go into coolers at the a$$ crack of dawn tomorrow. My clothes are packed, but true to form, none of the boys are packed yet. We are driving two cars. Just makes a lot more sense.
So here's a funny story. I like my car to be clean when I am driving on vacation. Why? I have no idea, because the car will look like crap when I get home. So I took my car to the car wash and get in there and the whole thing stops - with soap ALL over the car. I just sat there. I didn't know what to do. I was certain if I got out the whole contraption would start moving again. I considered driving out, but then I would have to get back in line and I'm not sure if that would mess the whole thing up. So I yell to the guy behind me, and miraculously he hears me. He went to get the attendant and they had me pull out and get back in line anyway. Way to lose another 10 minutes of my life!
So here's the deal. We have wifi at our house, but I doubt I will really do a full update at the OBX. So I am going to leave you with a few teaser pictures of our last Disney day. I posted them on Cynthia's TR because she may leave for WL before I get back. So without further adieu I want to show you a few very special pics taken from the WL (that's right - FROM the WL)......Enjoy......
So where exactly was I when I took these fabulous pictures???????
Now back to Tennessee.
When I left off last I was still touring the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Look at this amazing dress worn by Carrie Underwood. The waist on this thing was SO tiny. How did she fit in there????? Did she really get the skinny after those trainers and nutritionists got a hold of her after American Idol.
Another cool guitar.....
This was the inlay in Emmelou Harris' guitar (did I spell that right?)
This was worn by Alison Krauss when she accepted some music award. I love Alison Krauss. She has a really great voice. Its so different and so perfect! So gentle and warm.
I think this was Brad Paisley's guitar.....
This was Taylor swift's guitar. Go figure - its a Taylor guitar! What a nice gift from the Taylor guitar company. What's ironic to me is that some of the old timers had the most beat up, old guitars and they could really play. Look what Taylor Swift gets and she's already given it away.
This was another Carrie Underwood dress......
And a Taylor Swift dress.......
After we toured all the donated exhibits we were greeted by......
The next room had all the plaques from the people who had made it into the hall of fame.....
But I really enjoyed looking at the floor.....
And this was the ceiling......
The Outside of the building.....
Next stop was the gift shop.....
