Cooter’s Place

DSCN3781 Yes this is not a typo and I have not been drinking.  So what do you do in Nashville when you have a little time to kill waiting on your client for your afternoon session?  You take your six year old daughter to Cooter’s Place the official Dukes of Hazzard museum and all things Cooter place.  Most of us grew up watching the Dukes either in the original series or through re-runs.  What a great educational experience this was for Edie Grace.  I can not believe how popular the Dukes of Hazzard remains.  “Just Good Ole Boys, Never Meaning No Harm….” the jingle will be stuck in my head for a while now.  Here are a few picts of our Cooter’s Place experience.  This brought back some interesting memories for DeWayne.  He actually worked for while with one of the “traveling” General Lee’s as a photographer.  These cars traveled around to malls and other venues.  He said that people would stand in line for HOURS to have their picture taken in front of the car.  He used a Polaroid camera and has some interesting stories about this experience.  But these would be suited for another web site or at the very least another blog.  No, Edie Grace did not know what a Polaroid was.  We are still trying to explain that one to her.  Are we really that OLD??DSCN3787 DSCN3790

General Jackson

Tag: Edie Grace, PersonalLori Grice @ 9:17 pm

DSCN3769 Edie Grace was so EXCITED to get to go for a dinner cruise on the General Jackson.  Today was the inaugural cruise featuring the Peking Acrobats.  This trip was arranged by our friends Josh and Penny Aubrey.  Josh is pretty famous around the ‘Boro.  He hosts our local Headline News updates and co-hosts with Nate Hirsch a daily show “Upon Further Review”.  They have a family connection to the General Jackson and were kind to set us up.DSCN3672

We all had a blast.  The boat is beautiful, the food was phenomenal and the entertainment was incredible.  Edie Grace assisted with the pre-show entertainment helping sing a few songs.  The Peking Acrobats are breathtaking.  I could not imagine doing any of the things they did on land - let alone on a moving boat! This is a Nashville tradition that I highly recommend.DSCN3717
