2018 Dec 4, Day trip to Nashville to see Grinch Ice, Gardens Opryland Hotel, & Opry MIlls Nashville, Tennessee

Hubby and I ate lunch at Cracker Barrel in Spring Hill.

Hubby ordered a Hamburger, coleslaw, and pinto beans.

I ordered a kid's shrimp tartar sauce and fried apples with cornbread. 

Before entering Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas
The ice display includes over 2 million pounds of hand-carved ice sculptures. 

Everyone must line up to receive a blue coat to wear inside, as the rooms are kept at 9 degrees Fahrenheit. I wasn't going to get cold! The coat I am wearing here is the one I wore under the blue jacket, along with gloves and boots. It was still cold inside; you couldn't stay long.

The hotel features numerous beautiful flowers throughout its three gardens.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. 

We took our time at Grinch Ice, Three Gardens at Opryland, and walked around Opry Mills.
We ate dinner inside Opry Mills, and we did not encounter the work traffic on our way home.
We arrived home around 9:30 P.M.
