Walking tour of Nashville

I went with Baylor on the coolest class field trip. We started out at Fort Nashboro and walked to the capitol. It wasn't just the sights and sounds that were cool for 200 10 year olds, but the stories. This tour came with a guide who shared stories as if she had lived them over and over again. She told some of the history of the buildings and of the people they had been studying (Sam Davis, Andrew Jackson, James Polk, and Andrew Johnson). Her stories came alive and she shared like she knew them personally. It was like listening to the Paul Harvey of History. We topped it off with lunch at the Bicentennial Mall. Such a fun day!
