Today is our last day in Nashville. We are having a quieter day, before all the driving we will have to do over our next two or three. I gave Em a few choices over what she wanted to do this morning, and she picked the ZOO! So off to The Nashville Zoo at Grassmere we went. https://www.nashvillezoo.org/ It is not a large zoo, but there were still plenty of animals to see. Here are a few of our favourite finds today. We met some two legged friends, some four legged friends, an even one no-legged friend. Some of them we were able to get right up close too as well. The zoo property was gifted by the Croft sisters. Margaret and Elyse. It was their family farm called Grassmere that had belonged to their family since the early 1800's. It had witnessed wars, and slavery, and held so much history in the area. The sisters didn't want to see it lost to Urban sprawl so they willed it to become the property for a zoo. After the zoo, we headed for some lunch and have come back to the hotel.
Time to organize our bags, and pack up the back of the truck. We get to pick Ethan up tomorrow, wheich we are pretty excited about. We will take an afternoon swim, and hang out here, because although she doesn't know it I have a pretty big surprise planned for Emmy tonight. Wait till you see!!!
