Day 2: Nashville and Cheekwood Museum

We stopped to see Mama's friend, Jack.

He is the director for Cheekwood Art Museum in Nashville.

It is an incredible mansion that belonged

to one of the founders of Maxwell Coffee.

They are standing in front of the garage.

We LOVE these trees but don't know what they are.

They are covered with tiny purple blossoms.

Possibly Red Bud?

This is the garden shed... The girls liked the sphynix at the entrance of the
color garden.

We were Mr. Jack's special guests...

Thanks for the wonderful experience, Jack!

It was great to see you and your "castle".
