A week in Nashville?

So, in May I have to spend an entire week in Nashville. Haven't been there since the early 90's. Not sure if I'm looking forward to it or not.

This conference is being held at the Gaylord Opryland, and I've heard it's a wonderful hotel, but all that sitting around listening/training... YIKES!

Can't decide - to bring DD or not. She wants to come with me, but taking her out of school for an entire week, that close to the end of her 5th grade year? Of course, bringing her means bringing my mother - that can make for a STRESSFUL drive!

Of course it would make for a nice break for all of us. Not sure if my mother could keep up with my hectic pace - being at the rink at 5:30am, then back there again at 3:30pm. Be nice for them to be able to hang at the pool, and find a rink down there for training.

DD wants to take line dancing lessons there - not sure where we'd do that, but might look at the Wildhorse Saloon.

Either way (traveling alone, or with family) it's going to be a different Nashville than what I used to LOVE!
