While we were in Nashville, TN we visited the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. What an architectural wonder! It is huge and everything is inside a big dome - hotel, courtyards (many), shops, walkways, flora and hygrophytes like you wouldn't believe. And, it was air conditioned! It was a 100 degrees in the shade up there; thank goodness for A/C! No, we can't afford to stay there, but loitering inside for a couple hours is free!
We walked around inside for awhile, ate lunch and treated ourselves to some real gelato. None of that fake stuff...oh no, nothing but the best for these South Carolinians...
While we were sitting down at Paisano's Pizzeria and all of a sudden, we heard the loudest thunder I've ever heard. It was really weird because it appeared to be sunny outside the dome. Everyone stopped and looked around as if the world were coming to an end. Nope...just a bunch of dumb nuts who mistook the sound of the garbage guy, who was rolling around his garbage can, for thunder. Yes, he was redfaced when he saw 50 people looking around scared they were fixin' to get struck. Geez people, come on willya? 
So, if you find yourself in Nashville, TN give it a whirl. It is especially worthwhile if you have your new grand daughter with you (had to throw that in there!)
