My beautiful friend Sarah, and her lovely roommate (and my NEWEST friend!!!) went on a road trip with me to Nashville over the weekend. We all had the most amazing time while there!!
We started by checking into our beautiful 4-1/2 star hotel called the
Hutton. It's a green hotel, so it limits use of water, electricity, and waste. Sadly, this also meant no pool or hot tub, but we managed just fine!
The three of us went to a holiday party after having dinner at the swank Palm restaurant in town, and met Sarah's talented and sweet friend,
Keith. While we had possibly a bit too many cocktails and glasses of wine, we sang songs (and created our own) into the wee hours of the night. What a way to spend your first time ever (that'd be me) in Nashville!!!
Saturday was spent shopping, resting, and going to
BB King's club. The live music there was so fabulous! These musicians really were top notch. Sarah mentioned the club's strict policy on their in house musicians (i.e. they REALLY have to be talented).
The remainder of the evening was spent in our hotel watching Julie & Julia, snacking on homemade chips from the hotel kitchen, and fighting sleepy eyes. The morning meant a quick breakfast at the
Pancake Pantry with Sarah's friend
John Sepetys, and a quick meeting over coffee with one of my new and talented friends,
Mikky Ekko.
Several hours, a few potty breaks, three cups of coffee, road snacks, and back seat naps later, we made it back to my place. The girls still had about an hour and a half left to go before they reached their home in Milwaukee, WI. They made it home safely, as did I after driving to pick up my kitty, Leala, from my wonderful friends' (Josh + Helen) house - they cat sat the grouchy little girl!
Here's a peak at our trip!
