Today we have more scenes from the road trip. We’ve shown you day one and part of day two. Today we have days two and three. There was a lot to see along the way, many well known places. Of course, the start of Tennessee means the welcome station along the highway. It is not real exciting but it is better than the one in Kentucky.
On day two we continued through Tennessee and found this mural on a donut shop. We think it is a really nice mural from East Nashville.
Anyone going to Nashville needs to see the Grand Ole Opry, and that includes hounds. The giant guitars are impressive, but both of us were much more interested in all the squirrels running around. They seem to find lots of food around the attractions and they are not scared to be close to humans or to us. Mom would not let us sit on our own at the first guitar because we were so focused on those naughty squirrels.
At the second guitar we were still squirrel brained but Mom felt we would sit and not run for a few seconds while she took a shot of us. I think we look nice sitting with this guitar.
The extensive sightseeing on day two meant that we got into Georgia in the dark. We were all pretty tired out as you can see by Madison starting to yawn.
Since the drive from our hotel in Georgia to Orlando is not as long as the drive the other two days, we started out a bit later. Our first gas stop had a dog park. Mom took a look at it and said there is no way she would let us off leash there, but we think the sign is so cute and the idea isn’t all that bad.
Our stop in Plains, Georgia was not planned but we thought it would be a fun place to see. If you don’t know it is the home of Jimmy Carter, the 39th President.
We found the campaign headquarters, and the little town of Plains is where the Christmas peanuts are found.
Next to the headquarters is a sign with a lot of information on Jimmy Carter.
We headed out to the ranch to see what that is all about. There is a lot of really old stuff out there. There were no signs saying no dogs, so we did some walking around. There were goats and mules but we stayed clear of them.
There are not as many interesting things at the farm as we expected. This old gas station is on one side of the farm. It didn’t have any info signs so we don’t know anything about it but we took a photo anyway.
We like this old shed type building. There are several other larger ones that are used for the animals but Mom says we need to stay away so we don’t disturb the animals. If nothing else, the farm is a good stop to take a bit of a walk and stretch your legs and they also have human bathrooms.
Finally, later in the third day we reached Florida! Just a few hours drive and we will hit Orlando to get our FastCAT fun started. We did see several other dogs on their way to the Invitational taking photos here as well.
My GBGV Life is joining Comedy Plus for Awww Monday today.
oooh we love all that places… and you are right, the old shed has something very special… is there a ghost inside maybe?
The ghost of goats killed by dogs maybe?
We really appreciate your trip photos! more likely ghosts of dogs killed by goats! they can be dangerous with their horns and teeth and hooves.
We were not fans of the goats, so we found a different way to walk around the homestead.
Love all your road trip pix! Great that you were able to go to Plains! Too bad you didn’t get to meet Jimmy and Rosalynn!
We drove by their home in town. There were tons of security detail cars, so maybe they were home, but they didn’t pop out to see us.
You have so much fun as you travel! I’m just so sad our plans did not happen. XOXO Sparkle
We are sad too as we were looking forward to meeting you and your mom. Hopefully we will recover from this trip and come again next year. If they have FastCAT at the Invitational again, we should be invited as we are 1 and 3 again for 2021.
Oh i do love you sweet doggies ~ great photos
I lived in GA and TN for a short time years ago when husband was in the Army ~ so fond memories ~ Xo
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Mom loves for us to see all the places we can and to experience as much as we can. Road trips are a great way to accomplish that.
What a fun adventure and you’re taking us along with you. You’ve traveled a long way. You are such well traveled pups.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to the pups and my best to your wonderful mom. ♥
We got home tonight after ten days and nine nights. It was such a fun time, but we are all woofed and will rest up tomorrow.
You girls found lots of fun stuffs and we love that East Nashville mural!
We found such a variety of fun stuff on our trip. Now we have made it home and will be resting up for a while as traveling is not only fun but tiring.
Great pictures! My big brother Dash and I loved road trips. Mom would always stop along the way and snoop around for interesting sights–just like you girls did. Great post! Hope you are enjoying Florida! your friend Lilly
It is always fun to find places to see and take photos with. We also get to learn things along the way at important stops. Tonight we are back home and are going to rest up so we are ready for Christmas. Have a great Christmas week.
Wow! That’s quite a trip. Nashville is on our “To Do” list of places to visit. Merry Christmas to you and the pups. May the New Year be your best ever.
We are hoping for a Grand 2022. 2021 had a lot of high points, but a lot of scary points too. Nashville is a cool town, we would recommend it. Have a Grand Christmas week!
I am glad you gals take us along on your trips. Nashville is a great city – the State is beautiful too!
Good luck girls – we are rooting for you both!!!
Nashville has a lot to see and do, but our time was limited so we only hit a few high points. I’m sure we will be back one day.
Cool pictures! Have fun at the show
We had a great time, and now we are home and getting ready for Christmas.
great photos! OMG Stuckey’s!!! When I was a kid (around 8 yrs old) my family took a road trip from Cleveland to Ft Myers Beach. There were soooo many Stuckey’s along the way (they are an institution!), we always got their mini pecan pies (figures, I remember ANYTHING that has to do with FOOD!) They were soooo good!!!!! Florida is the worst state to drive through (if you are going to Southern Florida), it is sooooooooo freaking LONG!!!
Mom took Emma, Katie, and Bailie to Fort Myers a few times and knows it is a long drive. We took another person along to navigate and keep mom company on the drive, and we planned 3 days instead of two with lots of fun stops. It was all fantastic and now we are home and ready for some rest.
My goodness- soooo many fun adventures!
We have had an adventure overload, but it is a good thing.
I’m glad you got to see so many interesting things along the way girls!
We saw so many things on the way to Florida, in Florida, and on the way home. We will be posting on it forever!
Great memory of a wonderful trip.
It was such a pawsome trip, better than any of us had planned on. We are lucky to have had such a great time.
There are so many fun places to see, thank you for sharing your good times!
There are so many is right! We picked and chose some of them to see and will have to take another trip to see more at another time.
What a fun time you all had! We hope we get to go visit the East Coast one day!
xoxo,
Sunny, Rosy and Jakey
We are missing more on the west coast, except Bailie has been over there. Maybe we can meet in the middle somewhere some day?
Wow, you sure are taking this whole road trip thing seriously! Great sights along the way to the FASTCAT. Well done.
We did a lot of planning and took in many, many sites along the way! It was a wonderful trip for all of us.
i bet your suitcases got really filled up with stamps and patches from your trip. those are some wonderful places. too bad you could not go after those little rascals of squirrels, i bet this time you could have got one or two since they seemed so friendly. both of you were so good not to run off. I bet Mom was very happy and impressed. you should have taken a movie of all of your adventures. cant wait to see the show pictures.
We found lots of squirrels on our trip and they mainly just got us into trouble as we were so distracted. We have loads of photos, so stay tuned for more over the next week or so. We do have a movie of Olivia’s run in the finals too.
What an exciting trip you ladies are having! It is so wonderful that you get to stop and walk around! We LOVE it!
Most days we do stop a lot and get out to see things and take some photos.
