Music City USA

I hope you have all recovered from the holiday weekend.  I spent my long weekend on a mini road trip to visit one of my favorite people in Nashville, Jessica.  I survived the 5.5 hour drive by myself (something I was unsure of going into it, ha).  We went to Musicians Corner in Centennial Park.  We got to see Elenowen and Ben Kweller as well as get food from the food trucks! Even though the Grilled Cheesery had to close early, I still got some pretty good fish tacos.




We went to Marathon Village and checked out the Antique Archeology store and of course had to check out the I Believe in Nashville mural.

We met up with a friend of Jess's and her friends who were visiting for the weekend at Sips and Strokes and did a wine and canvas night.

That night we went to the Patterson House, a speakeasy on Division Street.  I had a grilled cheese and a Pimm's cup and both were delicious.



We went also swung by downtown for a bit that night.


All of us girls from the first night met up with some more friend in Nashville and went canoeing on the Harpeth River.  Jessica, Breanna, and I shared a canoe and we managed, by the grace of God, not to tip over.  What we did manage was to get stuck too many times to count.  Thanks to the kind strangers that helped us out a few times....and sorry to the poor guys that we inadvertently tipped over.


After canoeing we took a much needed nap and shower before heading out again for the night.  Liz and Todd had been in Chattanooga and decided to stay over in Nashville to visit Jessica and Danny.  We went out and had a few drinks to celebrate Liz's birthday!
 On Monday morning I decided to stop at the Green Hills mall to check out the new Lilly Pulitzer store.  I had seen too many pretty pictures of the new store.  It did not disappoint in person.  Seriously, can they come and paint my future home one day?
