Nashville Road Trip

Back in July, my Mom and I took the girls to finally visit Amy in the "guitar state".  Sarah Anne has been DYING to go and we finally worked it out to make it.  We also traveled on Cow Appreciation Day which I HIGHLY recommend if you plan to travel in July!  We hit CFA before we even left town for breakfast with Matt, stopped for lunch outside Atlanta, then got a snack right outside of Nashville.  It saved us a TON of money as the girl's food was completely free and Mama and I only had to pay for drinks.  It made the trip really fun too!  Amy had to work some, but she was able to join us for lots of fun in Nashville!  We also were able to hit up 5 different states 2 of which were first times for the girls!  Sarah Anne is on a mission to get as many states as possible, Becca is just on a mission to eat snacks!  While in Nashville, we went to their Science Center (Becca LOVED the germ game and asks to go anytime we go anywhere), the Ryman, downtown, walked the pedestrian bridge, hit the Goo Goo shop, ate at Rosepepper, enjoyed East Nashville, swam, went to Kentucky, and had an amazing time!

The Welcome Center in Georgia!

If you are on I-85 headed into Georgia I highly recommend stopping here!


Lots of fun things!
