Nashville

We go to Nashville quite a bit, but when we do we usually just go to the temple and shopping. I decided we needed to go and do all the touristy stuff on Memorial Day.

We started at Cumberland Park and Pedestrian Bridge.
(Let's go ahead and blame the humidity for my huge hair that day.)


 Right after this pic, Todd catapulted Macie off the other end, 
bruising her head and making a cut behind her ear.

Then we walked over the bridge and down Broadway to eat at Todd's fave, Jack's BBQ.


On our way back from Jack's we stopped in at Tootsie's bar for some live music.  It was SO fun!  I would have never thought to go with the kids, but a guy outside said it was all ages until 8, so we popped in.  The music was great! The singer asked the girls where we were from, Riley replied with Owensboro, and he proceeded to sing We're From the Country, only he substituted "We're from Kentucky".
I think it was the highlight of the trip for most of us!


We went to the Opryland Hotel, but it was kind of lame.

Then we finished with shopping and dinner at Rain Forest Cafe.
The gorillas were a little creepy at first, but everyone was happy by the end of our meal :)

That Opryland Hotel is even MORE lame when you're attending a conference there...it's impossible to find different meeting rooms because of the layout. You start to feel like you're in an MC Escher painting with weird connections and staircases that go nowhere! :P I COULD take credit for introducing Todd to Jack's, but I found it because of John Mayer, so we'll let him take the credit! ;)
