# 29 -- Visit Nashville, TN

While visiting my sister and brother-in-law in Marion, IL, we took a road trip to Nashville, TN (three hours from where they live). Tim's brother Frank and his family live in Nashville and they were gracious enough to host us during our trip.

The first day we spent shopping at the Opry Mills Mall. Day two was spent touring Nashville with Frank as our tour guide. We saw Opryland Hotel, Country Music HOF, Ryman Auditorium, Sommet Center (Nashville Predators), LP Field (Titans Field), Tootsie's Lounge and ate at the Wild Horse Salon. Kerry, MacKenzie and I even line danced while waiting for our food!!!

We had a great time and can't wait to go back!!!

# 2 -- Visit my sister and brother-in-law in Marion, Illinois

Gary and I visited my sister Kerry and brother-in-law Tim in Marion, Illinois July of 2009. We did lots of fun things together while there -- shopping, attended some of the MLB All-Star festivities in St. Louis, MO, more shopping, visited Nashville, TN (# 29 on my list), more shopping, etc.

Kerry fixed many yummy dinners while we were there; but I was able to stick to my diet. We went to Curves five times while I was there and I was able to walk at least 2 miles each day for a total of 39.15 miles.

My neice Lori, her husband Scott and son Micah came from Beckley, WV to visit her Mom & Dad the last day we were there, so I was able to spend a little bit of time with them before we left to come home.
