That\u2019s how I\u2019m framing this trip in my head.  Becky, Brandon, and Emily are in Duluth visiting Tom and Linda, so I decided to take a trip with Mom.  When it came time to decide on a destination, it needed to be 1) cheap, 2) within a day\u2019s drive, 3) someplace I had never been, and 4) did I mention the cheap part?  Since I grew up with my parents listening to country music, it has always been a guilty pleasure of mine.  Plus, it would be something Mom would enjoy.  It seemed Nashville fit the criteria exactly.  When I realized as mom gets older, there may not be many other trips with her, it makes it also a bit of a sentimental journey.  We left at 4:30 this morning to beat rush hour traffic and arrived just after 6pm.  We had breakfast around Front Royal at a McDonald\u2019s, Starbucks in Harrisonsburg, lunch at McDonald\u2019s near Bristol, and dinner at a Shoney\u2019s here in Nashville.  (Again, CHEAP).<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_10_1_1_1390357893350_114614\">\n<p>\u201c]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3190\/2742119373_41a4decb5e.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"General Lee\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_10_1_1_1390357893350_114618\">We are staying in a Residence in (only $89\/night!).  Before dinner we drove around the area to familiarize ourselves with the places we\u2019ll be visiting and ran into a place called \u201cCooter\u2019s Garage\u201d with a familiar orange Dodge Charger parked out front.
