Vacation Aug. 14- Aug. 25











Aug. 14th: Went to the MOMA to see the exhibit Dali: Painting and Film

Aug. 15-17th: Drove to Baltimore for the weekend to see the Ravens vs. Vikings preseason football game. Some highlights of the trip were the Aquarium, Fells Point, the American Visionary Art Museum and the Sports Hall of Fame.  

Aug. 18- 25: 
Memphis & Nashville Tennessee 
Great trip for anyone who loves live music and BBQ!
highlights:
Memphis- Graceland, Gibson Guitar, Memphis Zoo, Sun Studio, and the Stax Museum. If you are in town when the Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals AAA team) are playing, buy tickets in advance, they sell out. Try the wet ribs over the dry rubbed, you will not be disappointed. Bar hop on Beale, although a little cheesy, you can really hear some great musicians here and most places do not have a cover. 

Nashville- Grand Ole Opry, Country Music Hall of Fame, Ryman Auditorium, Arcade, Musicians Hall of Fame, Studio B, Belle Meade Plantation and the Nashville Sounds stadium. Catch one of the Sounds games if you can, they are the Brewers AAA team and great seats are always available. You have to eat at Hog Heaven. It is a little dive behind the McDonald's near Centennial Park. Head over to Broadway or 2nd Ave. to hear some up and coming artists for free.
