We always wear our seat belts!😉
Our peoples took us on their roadtrip to Virginia along with a friend. We love Ms. Donna because she remembers to give us sweet treats!
While our peoples visited the Old Mill in Little Rock, Arkansas, we went to the Purple Cow Restaurant and got a purple milkshake!
Yummy 😋!
Our Airbnb in Nashville, Tennessee had a hammock chair. This was our favorite spot to chillax after a busy day of sightseeing.
We toured the Ryman Auditorium where the Grand Ole Opry used to be performed!
Next we went to Virginia. We love music so we went to the Blue Ridge Music Center in Galax to listen to some fiddle and banjo playing. We tried our paws on this guitar, but decided it was too big for us to play. Maybe we should try a ukulele?

Our peoples took us on a scenic drive. This view of Pulaski County from Draper Mountain Overlook is beautiful, don't you think?

Our next stop was Asheville, North Carolina. While our peoples spent a day at the Biltmore, we explored our Airbnb. Our host had several decorative items reflecting her Ukrainian heritage. We love these carved deer heads that were handmade by a friend of hers.

Our last major stop was Florence, Alabama. Our peoples have visited this Muscle Shoals area before. There is a ton of music history here!
To honor the area's musical heritage, four 18-foot tall aluminum sculptures are being installed, one in each of the 4 cities.

The 4th sculpture, to be installed in Tusumbia, is still in the planning stage.
We ended our musical journey at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame.
We took a selfie in front of an original, vintage tour bus that belonged to the legendary country music band Alabama!
