On Saturday, my parents and I headed over to tour Belle Meade, one of the old plantations in Nashville. It was a gorgeous day and perfect to spend outside!
While my folks toured the old plantation house, my rambunctious (aka too loud for the tour) little rascal and I headed outside to play...
Jennie worked on their landscaping for them. The rocks, clearly needed relocating.
Then we took a stroll along the beautiful flowered path.
Just making sure you're coming, Mom!
Then we frollicked in the gorgeous expanse of land stretching out around the old home!
She was eventually tuckered out enough for a nap...so I was able to enjoy most of my lunch in peace. :)
And of course, she was ready to chill that evening in the hotel with a little R and R (remote and all).
Sunday, we spent walking around the incredible Gaylord Opryland Hotel where my parents were staying for their convention. Let me tell you, if you've never been there, it is QUITE the experience! Mazes of indoor gardens, fountains, shops, restaurants, waterways, bridges, gazebos, even an indoor river with boat rides! It's incredible, but I guarantee you will get lost.
This was the best shot we could get with Little Miss Wiggly. Pictures with a one year old are CHALLENGING!
Sunday night I came back home. But not before quite the adventure. My parents had to go to a dinner with their conference, so Jennie and I had a bite to eat in their room, then decided to hit the road. I thought I'd take a "short cut" to the car....Turn after turn and finally I found myself in in hallways with no exit to the outside, no shops, no restaurants, just conference rooms. Eventually, I ran into a lovely older couple who escorted me back into the public part of the hotel and I managed to find my way out. We got to the car an HOUR after leaving my folks room. An HOUR! Lost inside a hotel! Now that is amazing.
It really was a great, albeit exhausting weekend, and a wonderful way to spend our first weekend without Drew in town.
