Our last weekend before school started, we packed up the car (again) and headed North (again). This time we met Nana and Tata in Nashville. The trip was pretty spontaneous and came about because Nick had an opportunity to check something big off the proverbial bucket list, seeing Counting Crows in concert!
We arrived at the hotel around lunchtime, and the kids were pretty excited.
What’s more fun to a kid than a hotel room?!
We met up for lunch on Friday, then walked around Vandy’s campus, which is something we always do when we go to Nashville, however doing it the weekend before Z started kindergarten did seem to take on a special meaning, but let’s not get into that.
Then we walked over to the dragon park, and they played while Nana and I perused the shops.
I love love this picture, it is so them!
We got back and the kids had some pool time. We were so glad we got it in on Friday because the rest of the weekend the pool was taken over by college coeds straight out of MTV Spring Break! Yikes!
Friday night, the kiddos and Nana and Tata went across the street for dinner, and we took off to the new amphitheater in Downtown Nashville for the concert!
The venue was so so cool, and the weather was PERFECT!
Not sure if you can tell from this photo, but the background of the stage is a see-through screen and you can see downtown and the sky through it!
We don’t do weekly (or even monthly) date nights, but concerts are kindof our thing. We’ve been to see several of our favorite bands over the years, but lately, it just seems like we haven’t made time to go to many. So we decided at the beginning of this year, that we were going to change that! This was our second and we have another one coming up at this same venue in Nashville in October, so I think we’ve achieved our goal, probably for the next few years!
So thankful for a little alone time with this guy!
They were so good!
After the show, we went to Nick’s favorite college hangout, the Flying Saucer, for a Root Beer then ubered back to the hotel to find the kids (and Nana) passed out asleep in our room. We are so thankful Nana and Tata came, so we got to make a weekend out of it!
