2. The drive through St. Louis on the way there was STRESSFUL! I'm just glad Jon was driving! {in fact, he drove the entire vacation. Yeah, I'm spoiled!}
3. We had to stop at Whitehaven in Paducah, KY. My family used to go there often when I was a kid. My great aunt lived in Paducah. It's funny how places you went as a kid look so different as an adult. It also made me miss my Aunt Andree.
4/5. Our first stop in Nashville was the Parthenon. It was pretty impressive. Plus, we were super pumped about the cooler weather! {it's been HOT here in KS}
6. Next we headed to Broadway, A.K.A. Music Row. Jon bought a cowboy hat, and we came across these little dogs just hanging out on a motorcycle accepting tips. Totally hilarious!
7. That night we tried Jeni's Ice Cream. Don't kill us, but we didn't really see what all the fuss was about....
8. Sunday, we headed to the Zoo. Lots of walking....I'm definitely out of shape. We fell in love with this little goat, and think they need one on the farm. ;)
9/10. Monday we explored J. Percy Lake. We would have loved to have gone to the water park, but being preggo and all, we thought we better not. That evening we headed back downtown for some bbq and live music. That's where our 22 showed up! Hi Grandpa!
11. Tuesday was quite possibly the most exciting day of all. We met Dave Ramsey!!!! I was so nervous, but it ended up being totally fun! It's not everyday that you get to meet a celebrity, much less one that has impacted your life in such amazing ways.
12/13/14. Wednesday was perfect. We started the day with breakfast buffet, then spent some time at the pool...so relaxing! {we vowed to spend more time at our neighborhood pool for the rest of summer} Then, we headed to the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. If you go to Nashville, this is a must see! It's absolutely amazing. {We did get suckered into parking in the $20 parking lot though, don't do that....park at the mall and walk over!} We had some dinner and wandered the conservatories. Then we walked over to the Grand Ole Opry where we took in the show, including Rascal Flatts. At first, I thought I might have a panic attack. Our seats were literally at the very top of the nosebleed section, and I had to crawl over some people to get to them, which had me a little nervous, since my balance isn't what it used to be. Luckily, I made it through the show without having to pee, and ended up having a great time! We learned who Lauren Alaina is, and we loved her! She was a total doll face.
All in all, great trip! We're excited to be home and to get ready for this little baby that is kicking non-stop now! Lots to do, and only 14 weeks to go! Eeeeek! :)
