Got off a little later than planned but still OK. Left at 7:40. Uneventful journey. It was a little slow going by the big rock slide at the NC-TN border but kept moving along. Stopped in Knoxville for gas and got my watermelon out of the cooler for lunch. Hit a little rain in downtown Nashville, traffic was a little slow but moving through the twists and turns. Arrived at Dickson at 3:30. Checked into the Comfort Inn, cleaned up a little, changed my shirt and was off to Cheekwood. The quality of the gardens blew me away. There was so much more Chilhuly glass than I expected. It was everywhere. The sky was lightly raining and there was thunder and lightning in the distance but nothing serious. I got a little wet, the breeze actually felt good since I was soaked. Came back at 7:30 and went up the street a mile from the hotel and had Barts BBQ. A plate of pulled pork with sides of BBQ beans and potato salad. They served the corn bread in a weird cornbread flat pancake like form. Libbie's is so much better.
