Belle Meade Plantation 2006
So many of the great race horses were bred at the Belle Meade Plantation. We had stopped here only for lunch and found ourselves buying tickets and going on the tour. Well, I should say Mary went on the tour, James and I had plenty to explore on the outside of the mansion including the stables and a creepy old mausoleum out in the back.
I remember Mary telling us that one of the people in the Bell Meade history got in trouble with the Tennessee government so they sent him to what they thought was the worse place on earth, that place was Mackinaw Island where we vacation each year.
Landis Family Reunion 2006
This was the first time James met a lot of his Nashville relatives and he really responded well to the wonderful hospitality we were shown while in Tennessee. Mary got to meet up with a new niece as well. We spent a lot of time with Mary’s mom who lives in a huge apartment complex that can be seen from downtown Nashville. We also spent a lot of time with Mary’s dad who is in a Nursing home but is sharp as a tack.
We thought it was wonderful that James got to meet his Grandma and Grandpa along with a Uncles and a bunch of cousins. Thanks to everyone for making this such an enjoyable visit for our family.
