It was an awesome trip! We were gone 3 full days & 2 nights. I was ready to get back to my little family! Kyle was a little limited with what he could do, so my parents offered to keep Whitney. Since they had Whitney they thought it would also be a good time to keep Aubree. They also had my brother's 3 kids ages 5, 3, & 11 months so they had two 5 year olds, a 3 year old, a 12 month old & an 11 month old. Yeah, I think they are a little crazy!!! All in all I think it went well! I think my mom must have been super Grandma to handle them all. She had such a good attitude about them & when I called she didn't sound stressed out :-)
I think Jenae had a bit of a hard time with me being gone. She is by far a much bigger Country Music fan than I am & it would be a dream of hers to get to go & experience Nashville. She called me several times wondering what Stars I had all seen. I think she really thought I would be walking the streets with Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Taylor Swift & the Band Perry!
Probably the 2 highlight of the trip were touring the Grand Ole Opry & going to a concert at the Ryman Auditorium. There was a lot of talk of the TV show Nashville & the entire show was filmed in Nashville. We got to go a lot of the places that was in the show. I watched the first episode last night. It looks like a good show, I am sure it is more interesting just coming back from Nashville.
The resort we stayed was decorated so pretty for fall. |

We did some shopping & came across some very interesting shoes! |

Me & Susan at a dinner State Farm hosted for us. We had lots of southern food & the highlight for me was the goo goo cluster dessert! |
One of the dressing rooms at the Grand Old Opry. This was actually the dressing room that one of the singers on the show Nashville was in when the show started. |

Down town Nashville. There are a ton of little honky tonk bars that have live music playing. So many talented people waiting to be discovered. |
Crystal Gayle singing. She still has really long hair, just a little thinner than it used to be. |
We did not check bags since we were there for such a short time. My one bag was busting at the seams it was so full coming home & my other bag I could not even zip shut! |
Oh Halie what a great experience!! Sounds like you had a great time. :)
