Out In The Suburbs

Thursday 29th November 2018

We were up a little earlier for our pancake breakfast this morning.  Wendy went into the office afterwards while I headed back to the hotel and read for a while.

In the afternoon we went to the Country Music Hall Of Fame, which is huge and there are some amazing costumes on display and Elvis’ gold plated car.

Wendy’s friend, Kendal, met us in out hotel bar when she had finished work for an hour or so before we headed out of downtown to Madison. We went to a place called Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge in the suburbs to watch Sam Outlaw.  It is a local country club, very traditional.  A great experience, Sam has just moved to the area and this was the last show of him one month residency.  He only sang one original song the rest were covers unfortunately.  One of the many guest singers was Aaron Lee Tisjan, what a treat.

When we got back to the hotel we had to pack up our suitcases ready to head home tomorrow 🙁  Slight panic when Wendy weight her suitcase at 32kg (limit is 23!), but as we both lifted it easily decided must be error on scales.
