Trip highlights:
--Family time is always a winning situation. We went shopping, sightseeing and tried out some new restaurants. We basically just went the full blown tourist route.
--Coffee at Fido in downtown Nashville.. I know it's silly but i've always wanted a coffee with one of these fun designs in the froth.
--Finally seeing the I believe in Nashville murals.. this was a bucket list item. Not for any particular reason other than the fact that I love Nashville and wanted to see them in person.
--Downtown Nashville at sunset. I love this city with all of my heart..it's fun and vibrant yet still holds that unique sweet southern charm.
--American Picker's. Sadly the store had just closed but we did get to see the famous Antique Archeology from the show American Picker's. It's in the coolest old building that used to be home to Marathon Motor Co. We did get to peek in the windows and see some of the fun items. Actually going during business hours is a must do for my next trip!
