We are here because my sister and her friend are auditioning for American Idol :-). My dad, sister Briana, her friend Nick, and my dad's friend Betty arrived at 4:30am on Thursday morning. After the longest& most exhausting drive of my life- I slept most of the day Thursday, did some swimming, and then we all went out at night for dinner and live music. First we saw a blue-grass band at a restaurant called Caney Fork. There were a few American Idol contestants that sat in with the band, Briana shortly followed suit...Along with Nick who was dragged up there by a hilarious old woman that we had just met. From there we all headed to the Wild Horse Saloon which was PACKED. It's a huge 3 story restaurant/bar with live music and a huge dance floor. Instead of waiting 2 hours to get sat and eat dinner, we sat by the bar and had appetizers. Briana, Nick and I then got on the dance floor and learned a line dance called Money Bags. That was honestly probably the most fun I've had on the trip this far, hahaha. It was followed by the Hustle, and then ended with Cotton Eyed Joe, loved every second of it...Even the buckets of sweat dripping from every inch on my body ;D. The band was really good there, but we left shortly after the dance to go check out other music scenes. Before leaving I bought a cute cowboy shoe magnet for my dorm's fridge. :D The last place we headed to was called BB Kings Blues Club. I know, the name already makes it sound incredibly, right? IT WAS MY FAVORITE PLACE EVER! We didn't eat there, only ordered a few drinks but the music was unfathomable. Being there really showed me that even though I might not be a great singer, or great at a musical instrument like the rest of my family is...I still have the same heart for music as they do. I was blown away at how much I loved all of the blues music! They played things like the Temptations and Rick James, and their guitar solos were insane. I bought a t-shirt there and a guitar pick that has BB Kings signature on it :D. After that musical blessing, we drove...well actually I had to drive...back to the hotel after getting a gross dinner at McDonalds. Fell asleep quickly after and here we land today! Briana, Dad, Nick and I just got home from the Cracker Barrel. I personally hate their food always, but the store is super exciting, and always has been to me! I'm not sure what we are doing for the rest of the night but I will probably be writing out thank you cards and starting my Psychology homework...Not the most exciting thing to do on a vacation but hey, I have responsibilities, unfortunately. Well...I'm off!
