Nashville




Belle Meade Plantation is a 30 acre historic site 6 miles west of Nashville. The centerpiece of the property is the Belle Meade mansion built in 1853. This Greek revival house was home to five generations of the Harding-Jackson family, original owners of the Belle Meade Farm. In the late 19th century, the farm encompassed 5,400 acres and was one of the largest private estates in Nashville. The farm was a thoroughbred nursery famous for breeding and training championship race horses. Recent Kentucky derby winners like Funny Cide and Barbarro, even racing legends like Secretariat can trace their bloodlines back to the breeding stock at Belle Meade. This is also where Sea Biscuit the Race horses line come from.

This Kristen and I in front of the General Jackson Show Boat. This is the big paddle of the General Jackson. This was really fun it took us down the river to down town Nashville. We had dinner on the boat and were able to listen to a band. The one gutier player try to be friendly with us and called us bad girl. Littel did he know that were all married and were not even close to being bad girls.
