Nashville Weekend

Wednesday (after work) me, Whit, Bib (Whit's Aunt), Jeremy (Bib's fiance) all left to go to Nashville for the Hog game/mini vaca! Bib had found us a house about 2 miles from the Vanderbilt stadium. We arrived in Nashville around 1a.m. Thursday morning. It was an 8 hour drive, but I slept some so it didn't seem to bad =)  We had an awesome trip and I look forward to more. Here's some pictures of our awesome 3-story house!

             Other side of the room, our favorite was the fireplace 

                       Now let's take a stroll down the stairs = )

Thursday and Friday was rainy, nasty, cold days in Nashville. We went down to broadway for a bit and ate lunch at Margaritaville- they have the best nachos and you can split them between like 5 people! Not lying, they're huge!

After lunch, we drove around and decided to go to the Parthenon. 

           

                                        Statue of  Athena

                               Look how tiny we are

                              Jeremy being silly

                     TITANIC!!! We did this as it was pouring

                        Bib with her cute mini cart

Every year we go on trips for a Hog game, we buy the mascot as a souvenir. Well this year it was Mr. Commodore. We bought the mascot on campus and was asking people what his name was-NO ONE KNEW!!! It amazes me how no one cared about the football game that was happening on Saturday. I know Nashville has a lot going on, but not even Vanderbilt University cared about the game or knew what their mascot's name was!!! We finally found one girl that knew his name. Anyways, we took little Commodore everywhere with us and took silly pictures (yeah we're crazy, but it was fun).

Thursday night we decided to try out Maggiano's an italian restaurant. It was so yummy! Mr. Commodore got to come along as well ha.

                      Yummy, pumpkin cheesecake

                                 He got to swing! weeeeee

After dinner we went back to the house to meet up with Jeremy's friends Boudreaux (matt) and his gf Kendra! And of course we watched the World Series- what a crazy game!!!

On Friday, Jeremy/Bib/Whit and I got up to hit up the outlet malls. We didn't go too crazy, but I did find another pair of sunglasses!! Yay! After shopping we went to eat at the Loveless Cafe- it's very popular and has been on the Food Network Channel. They're known for their biscuits, but I think all their other food was way better! Whit and I shared chocolate chip pancakes, hashbrown casserole, eggs and bacon. OMG I'm craving it just thinking about it.

                                    Game 7

Saturday we got up early and was ready for GAME DAY!! It was crazy how empty the stadium was and reminded me a lot of War Eagle. There were tons of HOG fans though which made it better. The game definitely almost gave me a heart attack and I'm so glad Vandy missed that field goal!

 People in the stands dressed up as some of the SEC teams

We got back home on Sunday afternoon. I was so so so excited to be home. From being in Ukraine a week, coming home for 2 1/2 days and then leaving again- GEEZ made me homesick! Andrew and I didn't get to see each other much during those 2 days I was home due to his work schedule, so I was very happy to be back home with him! Now his work schedule is like mine so it worked out great! I'll definitely be home for awhile- no big trips for me! 

I'm very excited that the next 3 games are HOME! Well one is in LR, but close enough! We better bring our A-game this weekend for SC! Have a great week!
