Summer in Nashville? For a week. With a 12 year old.

Twitty City or bust.

We’ve stayed at a Gaylord. In Dallas so we know it’s a great place. Just the location. They’re smart. They put enough in there to capture you. They want all your food and entertainment cash too.

We only left the resort for a Pearl Jam concert. But that’s Dallas. Not much else that I wanted to see. Nashville will be different. I will want to leave everyday except for probably one stay and be lazy day. I’d be curious to see who is at the Opry and Ryman while there.

You’re going to be dissapointed if you want to be a tourist in Nashville for a week with a loaded schedule. We can definitely load it up with a week of stuff don’t get me wrong, but you can do the entire downtown in half a day or less.

New Orleans has more to do than Nashville. Most of the bars are not set up for live music with kids, I’m sure you can find one though.

I’m not trying to be a negative nancy and as I said you can easily have a great time for a week, just helping you be realistic.

With a kid I’d say Opry Mills is a great choice to stay.

Gaylord is at Opry Mills. Maybe 20 minutes to get down town. Traffic varies. Plus parking.
