Road Trip Day 5 - Nashville & Memphis

Last night we went out in Nashville again. We wanted to check out the historic Hermitage Hotel so we went to happy hour at the Oak Bar in the hotel. The bar was very pretty and the half price drinks and snacks from 4:30 to 6:30 were great for our budget! The men's room in the bar is actually a historic landmark too. It's been featured in several music videos so Dave snapped a pic - note the shoe shine chairs :)

After the Hermitage we went to another TV Food Map.com spot - Whiskey Kitchen. It turned out to be 2 for 1 Tuesday there so we continued our budget friendly night with 2 for 1 drinks. I would totally recommend this place to anyone that's in Nashville - the cocktail and food menus were really inventive and it seemed like a good party spot.

While we were in Nashville, Dave also picked up these moonshine-soaked cherries for me. They look yummy but I'm going to wait until we get to LA and find some fun drinks I can make with them.

On our way out of Nashville today we stopped at the Loveless Motel Cafe for breakfast. They are known for their biscuits and country ham so of course we had to try both. I'm not a big fan of ham but Dave loved it. The biscuits were pretty amazing though, as were the homemade jams served along with them. Elvis got to tour the property which features an appropriately named "Hams & Jams" store and some other gift shops. He made friends with the girls working in the shop and seemed to love the smell of ham in the air!

We finally made it to Memphis this afternoon and are staying right next to Graceland. Despite our dog's name we are not really that into Elvis (we just thought the name Elvis was funny and suited a frenchie). However, we figured it would be nice for our Elvis to see the other king's home so we took the tour of Graceland.  It was a bit expensive but surprisingly interesting so definitely worth it in the end.

We are only in Memphis for a short stop tonight and then on to Oklahoma tomorrow.  Thanks for reading!
