City of the Apes: A Week in Nashville

A week ago I guess, I went to a magnificent place for vacation. You see, my dad had to go to a seminar in Nashville with his business partner Dr. Hanson, so me and my mom took off with him. So we drove 3 and a half hours to Murfreesboro, TN and I had an awesome time once I got there.

First thing we did was check into our suite in the hotel, Embassey Suites. And I can tell you honestly, it was almost as good as the Animal Kingdom Lodge that I stayed in when I went to Disney World. It has to be like one of the best of all hotels. Hopefully, there will be another Embassey Suites hotel near our next vacation spot.

Next, me and the family went up to our sweet suite. See what I just did there, that's what you call a play-on-words. But, back to the subject, our suite was very luxurious. It had 1 bathroom, 2 sinks, 2 beds, 2 desks, 2 televisions, 1 couch and some chairs, a window with a good view of the outdoor mall across from the hotel, and a little kitchen-like place next to the bathroom where mom made my sandwiches, etc. Really the only bad part was that I couldn't get any of the Disney Channel, nor Disney XD. Fortunately I was there on a Friday, when I got to watch Monk and Psych.

I also got to take the laptop where I wrote a Microsoft Word Document, a biography on Rowlf the Dog, the Muppet, and his rise to fame. So far I got 2 chapters done out of 10. I also used the laptop for internet access, where I went to YouTube to watch the latest episodes of TSLOD (the Suite Life on Deck)

My dad had to go to his chiropractic seminars most of the time, so that left me and mom to do a little sight-seeing. We went to the outdoor mall I told you guys about in the last paragraph where we went to Barnes & Noble where I saw cool books especially a PIXAR encyclopedia that has really been updated, since it said that Cars 2 would be coming out in 2011, which is two years from now.

I had a great time there, but what I really enjoyed was going downtown with my mom and dad to eat at the Rainforest Cafe in a cool mall. But first we went down in to the otherside of the mall where I first went into another restaurant, only to pet stingrays and feed them too!!! And see people feed the pirahna!!!!!. Which I know from watching proffessionals that it's dangerous!

After that we went back down were we ate with the animals, animatronic that is, in the monkey section. Hence the title, "City of the Apes", funny. Huh? Anyway, mom and dad thought the food didn't taste that good. I thought different, the dinosaur chicken nuggets tasted fine to me. But we all loved the animatronics, the hippo, snake, elephants, butterflies, and especially the monkeys. At first I was afraid and scared of the monkeys, especially the little infant monkey, but as Dad and I kept watching them I wasn't that afraid anymore.

The next day, I think, I went to the pool, and I think I stayed there too long. By the time everyone was gone, I was still swimming. Even the lights dimmed as if it was closing down. Then came the last day of our trip where I spent most of my time in the lobby and the halls. I kept going back and forth from mom to waiting for my dad to get out of his seminar in the halls. Good news, dad got a break and I got to see him, I decided to go into the seminar with him. Bad news, it was as boring as in the lobby with mom and Mrs. Hansen talking about "The DaVinci Code". By the time dad got out and all of us got out of Barnes & Noble, we were taking the trip back. And that was my trip to Nashville, at least the good points of it.

I'll talk to you later, oh and by next time I'll be here to tell you about my show at Playhouse, "Narnia". I'll talk to you about who I might be playing and the songs I've learned in my first rehersal. Well... Bye!
