Tour de Nashville

My brother, Michael, visited us in Nashville for the first time since we moved here. We had fun showing him around our favorite spots in Nashville and Franklin and exploring a few places we haven't been before. Max, of course, loved having his uncle around and sometimes called him "Michael Wichael" which I think may mean "Uncle Michael." We spent one beautiful fall morning at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens which is currently displaying amazing glass work by the artist Chihuly. The artwork and gardens were gorgeous. Max was thoroughly entertained and did not once look at the camera as you will see.
Wait up, Michael!

We spent another morning at Centennial Park which is home to The Parthenon, a full scale rendition of the actual Parthenon in Greece.
Saying hi to the geese and ducks.
Climbing the stairs to The Parthenon.
Lots of places to run!
P.S. For both excursions Max insisted on carrying a car in each hand and could not be convinced that not carrying a car in each hand might be more enjoyable.
