Brentwood, TN

We choose a very nice RV park in Nashville while visiting Kevin’s family. It was next to a lake, had a swimming pool and nice road to run or walk on. Unfortunately we only spent 2 quick nights there. We had planned to divide our time between staying with Kevin’s mom, Jenny, and the park with the intention of getting some repairs done. However we decided to reschedule an annual inspection with National Indoor RV Centers from October to now. We arrived Friday and spent the weekend with Kevin’s mom, Jenny. We went back to the RV Sunday night after dinner at Tracy and Erwin’s house and left at 6:30 Monday morning to take the RV to NIRVC. After unloading we went back to stay with Jenny. We picked the RV up on Wednesday afternoon, brought it to the RV park, unloaded clean laundry, Amazon items sent to Jenny’s address and items we bought at Costco. After plugging in the power Kevin heard a pop and the power shut down. Kevin couldn’t find anything wrong on our side or from the power box as the volt meter gave out correct amp readings. The RV park maintenance guy came and said it was the box and replaced the breaker. By that time we had been in 90 degrees for an hour and the temp in the RV read 100! 🥵
We went back to Jenny’s place for one more night. We said our goodbyes to Tracy and Erwin Wednesday night, and Jenny on Thursday morning, then headed back to the RV to prepare to leave Friday morning.
On Wednesday morning Tracy and I went to The Hermitage, Andrew Johnson’s family estate. We took a tour of the mansion which included about 80% original furnishings. I wouldn’t say it was a huge mansion but it was lavish for its time. The most interesting thing I learned about Andrew Jackson was that his wife, Sarah, died unexpectedly just prior to taking office and thus he was a widow all 8 years of his presidency. He had no heirs and instead adopted a nephew (who was a twin) from Sarah’s side of the family. Unfortunately neither Andrew Jackson Jr. nor his son, Andrew Jackson III, were good businessmen and eventually The Hermitage was turned over to the state as a museum by Andrew III. Andrew Jackson’s personal servant, Alfred, was born at The Hermitage and continued to live there until his death at age 98. His last job was giving tours of the mansion.
It has been unbearably hot all week with high temperatures and humidity and no breeze. I attempted to run outside twice and while I did go 3 miles it was slow and a lot of stopping. We will be very far north this time next year!もっと詳しく
