I was a little worried about our trip at first...When we checked in at the hotel, had to wait in line for 20 minutes and everyone else in line was drinking (at 3 pm) and carrying on. It seemed like some sort of twisted, overnight, high school reunion. Once we got our room keys and were on our way through the maize of drunk people in the lobby, I dropped his iPad on the floor of the lobby, where it crashed to the floor, slid several feet and the cover promptly fell off. It didn't turn on after that.
That didn't really start our vacation out on the right foot...it was an expensive foot, but definitely not right.
Once we got to our room on the 9th floor, our keys didn't work, so I quietly (and submissively) rode the elevator back down to the lobby to get new keys.
Needless to say, we had a moment of testing...where we both had to choose our attitudes toward each other. Luckily, we both chose correctly.
After we recharged in our hotel and rid ourselves of the sickness of a broken iPad, we met our friends, Andrew & Joy Patton for dinner. We had a wonderful dinner, catching up, dinner AND dessert, hearing about their lives and updating them on ours.
Since Friday night, we've had a ton of fun together! We toured the Country Music Hall of Fame and visited the famous, historic RCA Studio B.
We walked up and down the streets of downtown Nashville. Of course, we hit up Broadway Street. And ate the best BBQ of our lives at Jack's. (No need to be dramatic about it.)
We have spent all day in two different coffee shops, Casablanca Coffee and The Well, studying, reading and writing. We had gourmet Mexican at Cantina Laredo in The Gulch. And I am anxiously anticipating an Italian feast for dinner tonight (and so is the baby).
And I am excited to declare, that next time we come to Nashville, I will return with my very own cowboy boots. They have made it onto my birthday list. :)
I love spending time with Blake, and his company never gets old. What a time we've had...and it's not over yet!
