After this wewnet and played golf in the tie-breaker for the Pacific Cup. I didn’t play well and Dad won his third in a row to win the whole thing. We finished up with that and went back to see family we had never met. They were all really nice and dinner was delicious but afterwards we had to go to bed.

Day 56 - Kansas City, Drive to Nashville, Nashville                                                                                 Today we woke up and said bye and thanks to Leanne before getting on the road to Nashville, our last stop of the trip. The drive was a long one, but not the longest, for it was only 6:30. We arrived at my dad’s friend Jason’s house where we were staying. After good tacos for dinner we went to bed.

Day 57 - Nashville                                                                                                                                 This morning after waking up we drove into Nashville with Jason. Broadway was really cool. It was more interesting to me because they had the last NFL draft there. After that we got delicious lunch. I had a pimento cheese burger. After that we saw the Ryman Auditorium where they have the Grand Ole Opry. It was small but cool. Afterwards we got awesome barbecue and ice cream before going to bed.

Day 58/Final Day - Nashville, Drive Home, Home                                                                                        This morning we got up and said bye to Jason before getting on the road home. On the way we saw the parthenon replica, which was smaller than I expected. After that we got on the road. For one last 7 hour drive. We got back around 5:00 and saw my grandmother and Scout (our dog) and concluded our trip.
