More silly pictures from Opry Land....

welcome to my house everyone !!

right after this shot someone got pushed into the water !!
just kidding .....


hi mom!







of all the many eateries in the hotel we still loved our tailgate party best!!


thank you...thank you very much! in an elvis sort of way ....










the fountains that dance!!


time to go !!
that was so much fun....

hey take our picture!!
thank you all for coming!!


Take a walk with me ... thru the Grand Ole Opry Hotel

If you've ever been to the Grand Ole Opry Hotel before you'll enjoy seeing these, but even if you have not had the experience in person I hope these pictures give you a little of what we enjoyed!!

this was actually down from the hotel but i liked the words Grand Ole Opry
the staircase at the entry to the hotel is ... well ... it's GRAND !!

There is waterfalls everywhere throughout the hotel. 

the walkway thru the hotel looks down on  places to sit, eat, drink !! 

the lower walkway 


 
the details in every nook and cranny are fun to discover. this is a window behind one of the waterfalls

oh look there's where those two got off too. Hey guys come check out what I see from here....

every little stopping off exhibit has a name. i don't remember them all but each is unique and beautiful... people get married often here at the hotel.... i can see why!!

orchids are so beautiful!! reminds me of when I was in Kauai!!

I love that they use water EVERYWHERE!! 

who could resist taking these pictures? the columns offer just the right setting!


I thought the floor was another water feature, this is the shinny-est floor I've ever seen!! 

I'm pretty sure behind the gate is just for super stars!!

there are so many plants everywhere and it smells earthy and fragrant!! mmmmmm.... love the smells!!

this was one end of the walk way that curved around  behind a waterfall.

we found a lot of places to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery as we strolled along!!

ceilings make great patterns, don't you think?

this waterfall is along a little river that you can enjoy by boat!! how cool is that?


stopping to play in the columns some more. It was hard to resist more fun picture opportunities!! 



we thought what a perfect fern view from above!!
