In other parts of Tennessee, we visited friends, plantations, and trains.
Belle Meade is an example of a famous southern plantation. Areas around Nashville were divided into plantations. Over the years, the plantations were further subdivided and eventually filled with modern subdivisions.
Many of the houses in the area are very beautiful and extremely large. Even the "small" ones had huge lots and are extremely inexpensive compared to California standards.
Fern's friend Maureen lives in Franklin, south of Nashville. We visited her and her Mom there.
We stayed at the Jellystone RV Park in Nashville, right next to the Grand Ole Opry. We couldn't find the KOA park, so Yogi and his friends welcomed us with open paws.
We had a traditional southern meal of fried chicken at this popular Franklin restaurant. Many country singers are regulars here, including the Judds.
The Chocolate Pecan Pie was to die for.
The victorious Union soldiers erected this monument and burried their dead comrades at the scene of the battle.
The south seems to be littered with historic sites.
