Nashville Trip

I know, I've been home for about a week now and am just getting to this. It has just been busy with supper Saturday (I'll do a separate post about that) and Young Women's. But I haven't forgotten so here is a fun update about my trip. Also, stop by my friend Megan's blog to read more, My Life's Miracles.

Going back to the south was like going home. I love it SO much. The big trees and the green grass. My mom always says, "You can take the girl out of the south but you can't take the south out of the girl". So true!

Hermitage

Home of Andrew Jackson (7th President)

It was very fun visiting this home. He is actually my husbands 5 or 6 great grandfather on his moms side. So it was neat going through a family members home. tee hee. Also, that is who Garrik is named after. Only we spelled Jackson different, Jaxon (sorry grandpa). We really wanted to see more homes but it was just too hard with the little ones. But at least I got to see this one!

Children's Museum

We went to a really fun museum and the boys had lots of fun exploring and playing. It was nice to do something that kept them entertained. Although they were both SO tired from lack of sleep. Poor kids. But they kept up great and it was a nice day.

Owen would have nothing to do with this airplane. We tried to get his picture in it but it wasn't a pretty sight.

K, you guys may think this is crazy but I haven't seen a Krystal burger in YEARS so of course I had to take a picture of it. Do any of you remember these or have them in your home town? I used to eat there all the time.

Craft Time!

We went to a fun little store and saw these picture frames. We got so excited because we realized we could make them for a lot less. After all Copying is the sincerest form of flattery, right? They were priced @ $24.00 for the 8x10 frames and we made ours for around $8.00!! Plus had a blast.

Below are the two frames we made for our wonderful friend Laura. We mailed them to her as a way of letting her know we were thinking of her.
