Son opened his freshman year at Ol Miss. We decided to cut the drive by flying in to Nashville, and drive from there to Oxford, so on the way back back we could sightsee for a day or two in Nashville.
On Saturday morning, it was decided that they would play a double header that day due to 'weather coming in' on Sunday.
So Sunday morning we hit tailed it to Nashville. At the first sign of a snowflake, hubby decided we needed to head to the hotel. (We did get to walk around Broadway and tour the Country Music Hall of Fame and Studio B).
And then it started to snow. And ice. We quickly took the car rental back to the airport and used the hotel shuttle to get back. And then we were stuck for 3 days in Nashville while the airport was shut down. Thank goodness the Embassy Suites was full service so we could get dinner and breakfast!
The good news: we got to go to the Grand Ol Opry and have first row seats due to a connection. The tour of the Opry is also well worth it. We wouldn't have been able to do that otherwise.
The bad news: The team was stuck in Memphis and couldn't get out. Trying to get a full team even on two different flights was difficult. The players were NOT in a full service hotel and had to walk to a convenience store to get snacks. They FINALLY rented a bus and drove all night to get back. Son missed several tests. It was a rough start to his college travel baseball experience.
JUST WATCH THE WEATHER! And then adjust if necessary.
(Def go see the Biltmore in Asheville if you haven't seen it)
Oh man, I'll definitely plan on being flexible as the weather dictates.
