Centennial Park

I finally made it to Athens! Just Kidding...It's downtown Nashville! This full-scale replica of the Parthenon was built in 1897 for Tennessee's Centennial celebration. I had no idea Tennessee was that old!
The Parthenon was really amazing. It was weird to drive up to it in the middle of the city.

Inside the Parthenon there is an art museum. Ty and I thought it was awesome. The awesomeness was somewhat lost on the kids.

This swing was outside on the park grounds by the lake. It was the perfect place to take a rest and have a snack.
I wanted to be in a picture so here it is!
This engine was part of the Nashville, Chatanogga, St. Louis railroad. It was HUGE! Max was so impressed. Ty always breaks the rules, and he climbed onto the train just like the sign said not to.

I was thrilled to see Max so happy. He has had a rough week. The park was a great distraction. We all enjoyed the fresh air and walking paths. It was a wonderful morning out.

Oh wow! Sounds like fun! How is Max doing anyway? Has he had more problems, or was it just before Christmas? Poor guy! We miss y'all!
