We met my parents in Nashville, Tennessee, this year for Thanksgiving. My brother has wanted to go to Nashville for years, so we were excited to show him the city! My brother and parents flew into Nashville, and we drove up. JM & Tyler left earlier than the girls and I so that he could pick them up at the airport. I am glad they left early because my parents flight was canceled, and they ended up getting to Nashville EARLIER than originally planned.
On Monday night, JM had tickets for the Nashville Predators. After we all had a nice dinner, Colleen and I walked back to the condo while everyone else went to see the Predators play!
On Tuesday, we went to see the Country Music Hall of Fame which included a trip to the original recording studios for RCA records.
We ate on the main strip of Nashville at one of the local bars, Wild Horse Saloon.
Later that evening, we had a few tickets to The Grand Ole Opry that is now filmed at Ryman Auditorium.
After the Grand Ole Opry, JM, Michael and Tyler (until midnight) enjoyed a boys night on the Nashville strip. JM and Michael stayed out much later and REALLY enjoyed themselves at Coyote Ugly!!!! Boys will be boys!!!
Wednesday was our day to drive over to Lynchburg to see the Jack Daniels Distillery. It was fun and informative! The kids even learned a thing or two!!!
On Thanksgiving Day, I had brought up a turkey, dressing, potatoes and desserts that we just had to warm up for our Thanksgiving meal. We hung out at the condo and enjoyed some games until after our late lunch!
After our Thanksgiving meal, we drove over to Opry Mills to tour the ICE exhibit. It had been years since we had taken the kids. Of course, they enjoyed the slides!
Our engine & our caboose!
After the ICE exhibit, we walked around the Opryland Hotel and rode the boat tour! We went to the Grand Ole Opry House to watch the Rockettes preform that evening! They were amazing as always!
We all had a great week together. Our time together always goes by fast! The flight back to Texas left early Friday morning. JM and Tyler headed to Auburn for the Iron Bowl, and the girls and I headed back home to recover!
