Nashville 2026

This was a super cold, miserable winter - I was desperately waiting for the hope of spring!  For spring break we took a quick trip to Nashville to check out somewhere new (and warmer).  We aren't big country fans, but it was still cool to check out a new city and spend some quality time with the family!

Nashville 2026!

Stopped in Cincinnati for a minute on our way down

Love these three

One of our first stops was the County Music Hall of Fame - lots of cool stuff there.  The kids tired quickly as is the way of museums...

Maggie was full of glee in the Taylor Swift exhibit

At the studio, laying down tracks

Evie loves the spotlight

Sing your heart out!

T Swift's guitar

One of the days I took the girls to a high ropes course and Jamie went to the zoo with Ben - a really fun day for all!  

Boys day

Flamingoes

Ready for the challenge

Mental preparation

Fearless

proud of it

About half of the ice cream ended up on his face and hands

Sister makeover

Our Air Bnb was incredible, complete with a 
rooftop hot tub!  We loved it!

Evie's happy place

Taking my cuddles for as long as I can

Checking out a local park

...with a full size replica of the Parthenon

Stumbled across a bar / arcade / outdoor game
place - this was one of my favorite parts of the trip

Giant Jenga

So focused

Learned that our kids need more training on cornhole

Checking out Mammoth Cave on our way home

Finding daylight

On our way into Nashville, just checking out 
the exterior of the cave system

Climber

Sisters

Ben still talks about this trip regularly, he really wants
to go back (but I think he just wants to travel anywhere)

Some other photos:

My bucket list item: getting a giant check 
(it's for a city project, not me, but still cool!)

So glad Jamie is the one to take Ben to this
birthday party

No one loves Maple as much as Ben

Jamie had the kids glaze bowls for a fundraiser

People bid on the bowls and the money goes
to feed the hungry

Wishing we could have gone to the bid event so
I could get these bowls!  We didn't get to see them 
after they being fired in the kiln.

Evie's new favorite place is Mochinut
