nAsHvIlLe!!

This week was Richard's fall break, and we were lucky enough to have his brother George and his wife Liz fly out to visit! They flew in on Friday and on Saturday, we all piled into our ever so spacious compact car and made the trek down to Nashville, Tennessee! The first night we were there, we got to go to the Grand Ole Opry, which just reopened after the devestating flood that happened in May. It was the 85th birthday of the Opry, so they had an awesome line up! Aside from all the square dancing and banjo-ing and fiddling, which was super fun, we also got to see Trace Adkins, Taylor Swift, and Dolly Parton! It was SO awesome! I was worried about Brynlie, because the concert after her bedtime, but she did great! She LOVED the music and was bouncing right along to Taylor Swift's "Love Story"!
We spent the rest of the weekend relaxing, playing at the pool, watching movies, playing games, and Liz and I spent our fair share of time shopping. It was so great to spend some much needed time relaxing and being with family. We had to come back up to Louisville for Rich to go to class and clinic today and tomorrow, then we are heading right back down to spend the rest of the weekend with them and Rich's sister Marci who lives in Memphis. What a great week!! Here are some pictures of the fun times:

Brynlie LOVED exploring our hotel room and she loved playing with uncle George!


She figured out very quickly how fun empty cabinets can be!



All ready to go to the Opry!! You can totally see the excitement on Brynlie's face!

We went back during the day to explore Opryland--most of it is still closed due to the flooding, but they had some fun fall decor and it was really fun atmosphere

Our little fam! (We had been taking Brynlie in and out and in and out of her stroller, so we decided to leave her in for one last picture!)






It was such a fun week! Thanks George and Liz for making it happen!
