Centennial Park Nashville

We left Belle Meade and headed to Centennial Park – this time in Nashville. In the middle of the park is an exact replica of the Parthenon in Greece. The girls loved seeing how big the columns were. We then walked over to a few old trains and airplanes. It is a beautiful park with gardens, playgrounds, parks and people. Being so close to Vanderbilt it is the perfect oasis for students and is easy access for everyone. We then drove through Vanderbilt campus (reminded me a lot of Coe with its brick buildings and shady quads) and through Music Row towards the Country Music Hall of Fame. It was awesome to get a little taste of Music City. 

The Parthenon now houses Nashville's Art Museum. We didn't go into the museum, but we couldn't resist walking up and checking out how huge the columns were. 

Originally built in 1897 for Tennessee's Centennial Exposition, the building itself is something to see, even if you don't enter the museum. 

All three girls together couldn't even get their arms around a column.

Planes, trains and automobiles throughout Centennial Park.
