NASHVILLE IN PICTURES

Oh, Nashville...
Earlier in the month we went to Tennessee for a wedding and could have stayed much longer than three nights and still would have wished we had more time there!
Honky Tonks, cowboy hats and live music everywhere and so much to do/see/eat/drink.
There really were a lot of cowboy hats, don't get me wrong, but there was so much more there than just the country music scene- And just for the record, I am not much of a country music fan myself, but any music scene is pretty cool in my book.
I am so happy my friend got married and I got to go to Nashville for the wedding!
We came across some seriously cool shops, delicious homemade biscuits, The Ryman Auditorium in person, a beautiful evening December wedding, live music, good drinks and super yummy coffee- Those were just a few of my favorite things about Nashville.
At the very top of my list though would have to be the bar with the skee ball machine AND the photo booth. Seriously?
Beer + skee ball + a  booth = Heaven.

The first night we stayed at a super cool little converted apartment in East Nashville that we found on airbnb- my first experience using airbnb and will definitely do it again!
*Photos 1, 14, 15 and 22 are from the airbnb rental, it was functional, clean and it was decorated so cute- major bonus points for the super cute decor.
Also- East Nashville? Loved it, some of my favorite places we went were there and I can't wait to go explore there some more again next time.
I most definitely see a Girl's Trip to Nashville with all my best girlfriends in the future !

{Wanderlusting}

I might have made up that word; Wanderlusting.
Wanderlust : Strong longing for or impulse toward wandering.

Yep.
A strong longing for... that's me.
And that's how I feel lately... Actually that's how I have been feeling for quite some time.
I feel like the older I get the more I feel this way... which is kind of weird because one might think you would feel this way when you
were younger and were actually able to do more wandering.
Right?

But anyway.
This is kinda what I dream of.
Of going... travelling... just wandering really.
By myself, with the kids, with my family, with my friends... all of it and any of it really.
Just to go.
To explore and adventure.
To see.

My longing to see and explore and for adventure is nothing outrageous or exotic really.
I am content with wandering an hour away from home, or three hours away from home if that is all that I can squeeze into my life right now, but I definitely dream of bigger trips and adventures, too.
I dream of exploring new cities and States with the kids, of exploring little towns and big towns and all that they are made up of.

I am currently daydreaming of a trip to Nashville and am working on a post all about what I want to do and and see there...
I think it's gonna be a pretty long list!
Please let me know if you are familiar with Nashville or have any suggestions for me.
Daydreaming is really kinda fun.
And Nashville is close enough that I could actually pull that off.... it would be an awesome Road Trip adventure for sure.

Where are you daydreaming of visiting?
Where would you Road Trip to?
Who would you go with?
