Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 This sweet girl woke up on St. Patrick's Day and made green eggs! 

She was so excited! 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Spring Break - Day FIVE {Nashville}


Our official last and 2nd favorite day! 
Downtown Nashville. 
We kicked it off at the Country Music Hall of Fame. There were some definite interesting things, but it focused so much on old country where no one in our party knew who many of the people were. Ha! 
But I'm still glad we went. 

From there we went to Kid Rock's bar. We Uber-ed everywhere so we could have a couple of drinks. 
This brought some of the newest family jokes. 
Addy isn't a fan of Mom having some drinks and was very offended and very threatening. It was so funny!! 
We spent some time at Kid Rock's and Jason Aldean's bars and then did a little souvenir shopping. 



















We headed back to the house and ordered pizza and played some more games. 
It was a fun day! 

We headed home the next morning as some of us had to get back. 
I was actually ok with a shorter trip. 
We need some rest and had a few days at home to just be. 
I did love Nashville and would like to go back sometime!

 

Spring Break - Day THREE and FOUR {Opryland Hotel}

After lunch we drove further to our next destination: Nashville! 

Up first: Opryland Hotel 
This was Nana's request for our trip. 
We had a good time. Definitely NOT worth the money but it was an experience. 
We took the Gondola ride, had a yummy meal celebrating JoJo's actual birthday and just hanging out with the family.

















The next morning, we checked out and spent the afternoon shopping at The Opry Mills outlets. 
It was super cold so it was nice that it was all indoors. 
After an afternoon of shopping, we were all happy and exhausted. 
Off to the next stop for the next 2 nights, the AirBNB. 
We decided to have a quiet night. We need to chill for a bit. 
We got subs from Publix (yum!!), played games and watched the Elvis movie.

Spring Break - Day THREE {Graceland}


We were up and ready to go for our 9:00 tour of.....
GRACELAND!!!! 

We have never been huge Elvis fans. But goodness, we all absolutely LOVED this visit! 
It was truly the highlight of the trip. 
We spent a good 4 hours touring the house, property, museums, the "Lisa Marie", and having a great time! 


































What a great place to visit!! 10 out of 10 recommend. 
After we were done at Graceland, we moved on to the next city: Nashville. 

But first, we stopped for lunch at this spot in Jackson. It came recommended and we enjoyed it.
