Opryland Resort

This morning after leaving our el-cheapo hotel we went over to where the elite stay while in Nashville…. The Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center.  We’ve been there before but our friends hadn’t.  The only problem is that they charge to park.  $18 (plus tax).  We had 3 motorcycles.  That’s almost $60.  I had a BIG problem with that part of it, but otherwise it’s a really neat place to visit. 

Atrium

We spent a little over an hour there just walking around the atrium and seeing all the beautiful plants and flowers.  It really is amazing.

Here are some pics of the plants and flowers. You can click on them to enlarge them.

    Great shots, I enjoy some of those plants in my backyard. Thank you for sharing.

  • You could fit two of those bikes in one spot, maybe even all three right? That’s ridiculous.

    I love the Opryland Hotel. I went there for a conference in college or grad school. Interestingly, a group of us got into some mostly innocent what the cops like to call “trouble.” And a fine officer and manager with a “I’ll point at you over his shoulder” toughness told me to never show my face there again. Do you think they remember? I really would like to go back.

    Maybe one of those plants is a duvekot?

    I really enjoy the pictures that you take on your travels, Jonco. The flowers and the plants are beautiful.

    Jonco,

    Great site and as others have said, I like the pictures of your travels.

    I attended many business conferences there over the years. One of the features you missed was the nightly choreographed fountain display. Set to music with lights and spray. Was put in long before the display at the Bellagio in Vegas.

    Also, there is a great people watching circular bar that rotates once every hour.

  • Yeah, I forgot about the fountains with the lights and music. I’ve seen it before. And I remember someone playing a harp every hour or so too. I didn’t know anything about the revolving bar.
