A River Runs Through It

By Linda Tancs

Minutes from Nashville International Airport and next door to the Grand Ole Opry, Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center beckons visitors with a glass atrium stretching seven football fields in length.  Beneath the atrium  lies a stunning display of indoor gardens and cascading waterfalls, viewable along an indoor Delta River tour aboard a Mississippi-style flatboat.  Look out for Danny, the 80-pound catfish and mascot of the meandering indoor river.   And what better time to visit Music City than during the holidays!  The resort’s 30th annual “A Country Christmas” features more than two million lights and dozens of shows and attractions.
