Nashville

Brent and I kept putting on planning a babymoonIt seemed every weekend had something planned.  Finally we found a weekend in late August to go somewhere.  So we blocked off that weekend.  We then had to figure out a place to go.  Our requirements:
  • It needed to be someplace driveable - and not too far away, I am a pregnant woman who has to stop to pee a lot, plus getting comfortable in a car is easier said than done.  
  • Not in Ohio - I mean, please...it's Ohio.  We can't say we went to Columbus or Cleveland for our babymoon!  Yawn. 
  • Someplace we hadn't been before.  
Nashville, Tennessee seemed to be the answer.  

We just happened to get a groupon the week prior for a deal to a hotel that was close to downtown.  Score!   We reserved a room at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel.  We got there Saturday late afternoon and the place was boppin'!  Seriously, there were people EVERYWHERE!  I don't know what event was happening but Brent is pretty sure that he saw some Tennessee Titans.  I wouldn't know one if I saw one...and frankly, I'm not sure I'd be that impressed if I did.  Is that pathetic?  They were playing at home that night, so it was possible Brent's eyes didn't deceive him.  

Who doesn't love a good hotel robe to strut around in??
side note: Sorry for the small photos...they came from Brent's phone and so to avoid distorting them entirely, they're staying small.

Saturday night, we took the shuttle downtown for dinner and festivities afterwards.  Boy, are we glad we took advantage of the free shuttle.  Because the Titans were playing, parking was at a minimum and so we didn't have to navigate the streets to find parking.  

 After dinner we walked the streets and wandered into BB King's.  There was a BB King's-like band playing.  We scored some awesome seats perfect for people watching and close to the bar (water of course for me!).  


Sunday we woke up and went back downtown to see it in the daylight and not drowning with people.
