August 11, 12 & 13 I'm headed to Nashville for a mini vacation. What are some recommended sights, sounds, eats, etc. Planning on hitting you the Opry, and probably the country music Hall of fame.
What else?

Country music hall of fame was cool, even though I'm not much of a country fan.
It was closed when I went, but the Lane motor museum is always tossed out as a must-do Nashville thing.
Wife and I just barhopped, mostly - live music and good food everywhere.
Hattie B's hot chicken.
Yeah, you gotta go to the Lane museum. Do the basement tour, too. If David (the manager) is there, tell him that GRM sent you.
If you don't do anything else in Nashville, don't miss the Lane museum. Was just there today.Awesome collection, awesome people.
Pied piper creamery for some trailer trash.....

Yes Yes a million times yes.
The Frist has an awesome Italian car/motorcycle exhibit that will still be going on then. Must See.
If you love excellent original music, try these venues. I've been to them on numerous occasions and highly recommend them:
(I saw "The Old Crow Medicine Show" perform there back in the late nineties).
Also, any of the many small honky- tonk bars on the main strip in Nashville have excellent, original music by waiting-to-be-discovered artists. Nashville is a great music city.
For something completely different, but interesting nonetheless, visit the mansion of the family that started the Maxwell House Coffee brand, just outside of town (Cheekwood Botanical Gardens).
Lane for sure, then eat great BBQ at Jack's Place downtown
Rio D Brazil if you want to go into a meat-coma. Go for an early lunch.

I'll second that.
Robert's Western World, 416 Broadway. Good music, cold drinks and good bar burgers.

If you are in East Nashville you've got to hit I Dream of Weenie in the Five Points neighborhood. It's a hot dog stand run out of an old vw bus. We always go there for their Thanksgiving special since we are in town visiting my brother.
The Waylon & Willie Museum/store, which is next door to Cooters Garage (Dukes of Hazzard heaven). They are both real close to the Grand 'Ole Opry.
In reply to drainoil:
I've been to Cooter's place in Gatlinburg. It was neat to see a real General Lee, but unless you're a huge fan of the show, I wasn't that impressed lol.
