The Friday after Thanksgiving Alex and I took a short trip down to Nashville with our friends Stacey and Nick. Stacey teaches with me, and Alex has become good friends with her husband, Nick over the three years that we've worked together.
We had a blast checking out different parts of Nashville and spending our evenings at the honky tonks.
It definitely makes me hope these next four years go by quickly so we can HOPEFULLY make a move from the Windy City to the Music City. (Alex has to practice law in Illinois for 5 years to gain recriprocity with other states... aka not have to retake the Bar in another state). So basically, I have a mental countdown going on until we can leave Illinois. #1 on my list of places I would like to move to... Nashville. I like how it is much more easy going, affordable, milder climate, still a drivable distance to Lafayette, and the list goes on...
Here are some pictures from our trip.
Nick got an awesome deal on two rooms at the Indigo. We stayed at one in San Diego too. I highly recommend them... very nice rooms!! Alex and I got a suite.... not sure how that happened, but we'll take it!
Our view
Night #1 at the Cadillac Ranch
Nick was the brave one in our group... karaoke singing and mechanical bull riding! He sang "Queen of My Double Wide Trailer" haha Stacey was touched I'm sure.... :)
Waiting for our tour at Belle Meade Plantation
Our boots!! We love, love, love our boots! Alex has already worn them here in Chicago... and to take the trash out in. The trend will catch on here...
Night #2 at Robert's... the guy behind Stacey was there with his 9 year old son. Low and behold... they are from Chicago and the little boy goes to a school right by Stacey's parents' house! haha Small world!
I know... kids at a honky tonk?? Apparently this is allowed at some of them, we saw kids at quite a few of them.
They were really taking the whole cowboy thing seriously....
