Last weekend trey and I decided to do a getaway weekend. We decided on Nashville. It's something that we talked about for a long time but just never acted on it. Well, Father's Day came and I didn't know what to get him so I decided to plan the trip for the weekend afterwards. However, I was super confused by the layout and where to stay and I wanted to stay downtown so we could walk around and everything was super expensive. I ended up telling him my idea and I'm glad I did. He ended up going on Priceline and we got the Sheraton downtown for $125 a night!!
We decided to head down Friday night after work-left around 4.
Those are some excited parents leaving their 2 yr old child behind!
We arrived to our hotel around 6:30. Our room was pretty nice and we got a king bed which was awesome!! Here was our view:
We headed to this restaurant that Trey's boss recommended called Burger Up. It was sooo yummy!! Everyone should try it. We got fried pickles, burgers and then the most healthy dessert I've ever had:Krispy Kreme doughnut bread pudding. A-MAY-ZING!!!!
Obviously we had no problem fitting dessert into our tummies! Afterwards, went to our hotel and then walked around downtown. I didn't realize how crazy downtown Nashville can be! Printer's Alley freaked me out a little. First thing I see is a sign that says Nude Karoke...weird. And there were 4 policeman on horses just standing and watching in the other side of the alley...weird again. Then we walked on Second Ave and it was just this crazy street. Lots of GoGo dancers dancing outside and very loud music. We finally ended up on broadway. We walked into a bar and had one beer and then retired back to our hotel.
We slept in until 9am!!! Pure bliss! I love blackout curtains! We got up and headed to Puckett's for a late breakfast. Trey got the buffer and I got a pancakes dish-I wish I had gotten the buffer (French toast casserole-need I say more). All their drinks are in these cute mason jars:
After breakfast, we headed to Opry Mills and shopped til we dropped or at least became broke. Also, we kept saying over and over how much Madison would have had if she was here-we definitely missed our baby. After shopping we had lunch a Blue Coast Burrito. So good. Trey was definitely in heaven. Got back to the hotel, enjoyed the ending of Shutter Island and then got ready and hit the town. We weren't hungry so we decided to just go to some bar and eat and drink there. This is around 5 or 6 and everything was packed! I wanted to sit on a patio. Anyway, we finally found one at Baileys. Pretty cool bar. We watched the hockey game outside and I had a celebrity siting or sorts.
Owl always looking down on me-chi o for life. Haha
Delicious Yazoo beers!
It proceeded to storm but our waiter was awesome and just brought our table inside so nothing got wet and once it stopped raining we just moved our table back outside and were fine because our chairs and table never got wet!
Trey and me being creepers by taking a "selfie" but really trying to take a pic of Ryan (d-bag Ryan from teen mom). He's the one in the bandana.
Finally jut got the drunk nerve to ask him for a pic. His shirt just says it all!
We drank too much and stayed up way too late-such a fun night! We had set our alarm for 7:30 for breakfast but we slept through it. We were running a little late but we got ready, packed, checked out and headed to pancake pantry for breakfast. This is what we encountered when we got there.
A long ass line. However, it moves really quickly and we got in and ate our delicious pancakes. Then we got the road to get our baby.
Once we picked her up from Trey's parents house, we took her home and had a blast in the sink!
Like Dorothy says in the Wizard of Oz-there's no place like home.
