Rob on Honky Tonk Highway!
I know I can make it big as a country singer!
The Glurestrom Vacationers with Smiley in the middle (Read #2)
The title alone makes you want to read, right? Well, the Glurestrom's weekend in Nashville was great. We had so much fun! In Letterman Style, here is my top 10 reasons why this was a great trip.
10. Maureen and I got yelled at for laughing on the plane on the ride down! The guy was so rude to us...but we knew from the start it was going to be a funny trip.
9. We visited the Charlie Daniel Band museum...very cool!
8. You can get anything you want in Nashville with a confederate flag..Mo had a bikini she was eyeing!
7. The food wasn't great..but the beer was flowing! $2 PBR-who can beat it? And at the stinky trailer park bar (which mo and i hated cause it smelled) they had a wall of mullets!!!! :) And we saw more than 1 person buy their beer with change!
B at the Trailer Park Bar. That's right, he's drinking on the car!"Get er done!"
6. The Kareokee (sp?) is out of this world!!!!
5. We met lots of fun people, including Macombie-Homies and many people who had a comment about Mo's Nascar Shirt that said Boring!
4.Now not only does Rob have a belt buckle, but cowboy boots too..and I have a belt buckle too!!!
3. The music in Nashville is really amazing! B's favorite songs? "Free Credit Report" medley. Mine was "Vanilla Ice transitioned to Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy!"
2. We hung out with Smiley Roberts! Who is he? He's a 70 year old steele guitar player who we thought was "crazy" until we went into Tootsies with him and his picture was up on the wall with all the greats and older people were asking for his autograph. We spend the day with him...I had a mission to find famous people and this def. qualifies. Just google him...you'll see! Here's a quote I found on the web :Hendersonville and Gallatin are two communities that in recent years have been home to such stars as Jonny Cash, Roy Orbison, Trisha Yearwood, The Oak Ridge Boys, Jenny Slate and numerous session and touring musicians such as the local legend "Smiley" Roberts. We had so much fun with him!
1. There were 5 members on our trip...rob picked up a $1 squirrel at a store and we named him Chadwick Michael Phelps. He helped us make lots of friends...and he invented a drinking game for us. Everytime we saw Michael Phelps, read his name, or heard his name, we had to drink. If you watched tv this weekend you'll know how much we drank! To end this blog, here is my "Ode to Chadwick!" (A few of our many pics...but a good taste of nashville!)

Looks like quite the adventure. You would make friends with some random famous guy named Smiley! :)
That's hilarious.
Oh, and I think the boots should go with the speedo.
Is Smiley real??? He looks like Bernie from Weekend at Bernie's.
Excellent drinking game ! ! !
Sounds like you guys had too much fun....you need to go back again, like real soon.....so we can watch Abigail. I think she misses her Nana & Papa.
