Nashville Part 1

We just returned from our trip to Nashville! We had a blast and really enjoyed a little break from the daily grind. Lucy did great on the trip and enjoyed experiencing new things.

{Wednesday}
We flew to Nashville at 5:30 p.m. Due to snow in Columbus, we had to wait on the runway to get "de-iced" and it made the 1 hour flight a bit longer. It was also close to dinner and bed time so Lucy was a bit feisty. We made it to Nashville, put Lucy to sleep in the beautiful guest suite at the Marotta's and then had an awesome Nashville BBQ dinner with Katie and her family.

We also went out to lunch at Germantown Cafe, to a bookstore, and spent the evening with Katie.

{Friday}
We visited Vanderbilt's campus...

Then met Denny's childhood friend, Ryan, for lunch at San Antonio Taco Co.!

Then I spent the afternoon with Katie, while Denny went back to the Marotta's to let Lucy nap. I met her at the cute, little catholic grade school she teaches 1st grade at. Her students LOVE her and it was fun to spend time with them. Then onto get our nails done and have a glass of wine.

That evening we went to Sweet CeCe's for the most amazing dessert expereince. Just imagine all the toppings you could ever dream up; on top of amazingly good frozen yogurt! YUM!

{Saturday}
Every morning when Lucy would wake up she'd love to play in the guest suite. It is a beautiful, beach-themed addition to their house and was just perfect for us. It has two queen bed( tucked in a little nook), a sectional, tv, closet, and bathroom.

(Lucy loved to pose with the stuffed dog that looked just like Jack-Jack, their family dog.)

Lucy spent every waking moment saying "doggg" and petting Jack-Jack.

To say she was obsessed with their dog would be an understatement.

Cheese...

It is always so refreshing to get away for a bit! That is why we take so many sneak weekends to Disney and stay in a hotel...Jack's favorite!!! Now whenever we go somewhere he asks if we are "staying in a hotel" and going to have "snacks", lol!! I think Lucy needs a pet soon........she seemed to really like that dog!!
