May 12 the Gaylord Opryland Resort

Gaylord Opryland Resort is the larges hotel in the US without a gambling casino.  It is absolutely magnificent.  All of the pictures below are taken in the middle of the hotel.  The rooms are built around it and have balconies overlooking the center.  The gardens and vegetation are stunning.  The water in the canals are from waterways in all 50 states and some countries.  There are plaques listing every place the water came from.  We found Lake Winnepesaukee, NH, Lake Arrowhead, CA and the Gulf of Mexico.
