Nashville Girls Weekend

Two weekends ago, I headed up to Nashville to visit my Bestie (aka Sister Kristy). No she's not really my sister but may as well be :) We had been planning this trip for a few months and to say I was excited would be a bit of an understatement. 

I got there late afternoon on a Friday and we spent some time at her house chatting and then headed out to dinner to the cutest place called Circa in Thompsons Station. 

I had the BBQ Shrimp and a salad. It was delish!

We went to bed early since we knew Saturday would be a long day...we had big plans! First we hit up the Nashville Flea Market. I'll just let the pictures do the talking. It was fabulous as always!!

After the flea market we decided to grab lunch at Hattie B's Hot Chicken. Being a Memphis girl, I love Gus's...but this place was amazing!! There was a line out the door. The atmosphere was fun and trendy and the food was so yummy! If you are in the Nashville area, please try it!

After lunch, Kristy took me to McKays used books. They have everything...books, cd's, dvd's....so much to look at. Everything is so organized but its important that you come with a list. I left with a bag full of stuff :)

Then we went over to the Green Hills area and went to Trader Joes. Since we STILL don't have them in Memphis, its a must for me on each trip to Nashville. We had a hotel room for the night (Thanks to Joe's points!) so we went and checked in and got settled in the room and then later went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory in Cool Springs.

On Sunday we were up bright and early and ready to take on the Country Living Fair! I was so excited to attend as I have wanted to for the last few years. Like I said, we had this trip planned for a few months and then I found out the Country Living Fair was the same weekend so I knew we had to go. I was lucky and won passes off Instagram. 

It was a chilly and cloudy day but we made the most of it. Once again, I will let the pictures do the talking.

Thoughts on it. I am glad we went. There were a lot of really neat things. There was also some "country" junk and too much jewelry. 

Here is what I came home with. Not too much but I was happy :)

And my trader joes stuff :)

I was sad to see the weekend end. Its just good for my soul to step away from mother/wife duties and just have some girl time :)

Nashville/Frozen Girls Weekend (and an Etsy review)

Last weekend, Meredith and I took Sally and Carol Hannah to Nashville for a Nashville/Frozen Girls Weekend. We left on Friday morning and drove up. 

The girls were perfect in the car and we were all ready for a yummy lunch at the Loveless Cafe.

The wait was at least an hour but we kept the girls busy. Who's ready for biscuits?!

This place is so yummy!

We checked into our hotel (Embassy Suites in Cool Springs) and then found a cute little park in Franklin so the girls could play.

We also made a stop at Target and then stayed in the hotel that night and ate leftovers. 

We also had full access to a free vending machine thanks to the hubby's high status with Hilton. Let's just say....a lot of snacks were eaten :)

Girls in their princess nightgowns.

On Saturday morning we woke up and ate breakfast at the hotel. Then we drove to Walden Farms to visit their big pumpkin patch/activity area.

We loved the petting area. I really wanted to bring the baby pig home with us. He was so cute!

We played in the hay, stocked up on pumpkins and had a fun time.

Next we headed over to Green Hills Mall for some shopping and lunch. We met up with Lindsey, Nick and Emma Claire at the Cheesecake Factory. Sally was a good little shopper.

We also had to take a trip to Trader Joe's to stock up.

That night we met up with Aunt Kristy at Puckett's in Downtown Franklin. 

Sunday was the big day...Frozen on Ice!! The girls were precious in their Anna and Elsa dresses and we all had the best time. Our seats were great and the show was so good!

I even bought Sally a $25 light up wand....totally unlike me. :)

Sally was just mesmerized during the whole show. We loved singing along and we all just had the best time.

After the show, we had lunch at Chuy's and then headed home. It was a super fun and girly weekend. If Frozen on Ice comes to a town near you, please go...it was so good!

The girls were so excited for their trip. They were so grown up with their own suitcases. Erin from PartiesRFun on Etsy totally hooked us up with the cutest Princess luggage tags. They come personalized and the girls literally squealed when they saw them.

I love how they say "Princess" and then their name...so fun!

Here are the ones we got:

I am also loving these Frozen themed ones!

I think these would be adorable in birthday treat bags or as a surprise for a Disney trip.
