Fun Day
A nice day trip outside Nashville before a flight after 7:00 pm. We wanted to see another part of greater Nashville area and be outdoors. This was a perfect solution. Eat at the Frankllin Mercantile deli, grab a cookie then explore the main streets of this beautiful little town. Tour includeds three historical sites.
