Birthday trip to Nashville, TN

For Betsy's birthday, Mark took her to Nashville for the weekend.  We stayed at the Hyatt Place.  It was a perfect location for our touring plans.  We arrived in the city and took a walking tour - via an app on my phone.    We parked at this park just south of the Capital.  The city was well planned out - so much for us to do.  


While walking around we saw a ton - a ton of these pedaling bars.  Ladies were having the bachelorette parties on these pedaling bars... everywhere we looked there was another one. 

The capital was under renovations.

Found this beautiful ampha-theater



Memorial walk - so cool

On our way to lunch



Delicious Tennessee BBQ

The architecture in Nashville ranged from ancient majestical cathedrals to modern museums and buildings.   




It happened to also be St. Patrick's day.  Little did we know that the city turns into a green party!!!!  Every bar and restaurant was filled with green, drunk, partying people.  They were out the doors, they were on the roofs, they were everywhere.

While we are in Nashville, the kids all got together to have a Brazillian Birthday dinner at Tuscano's.

The last adventure of the day was this working plantation.  It also happened to be setting up for a wedding.  No body knew if we were touring the historical building or if we were wedding guests.  Shhh - we will never tell.




 Sunday we went to attend church with the Steven's but it was stake conference.  We were blessed to hear from Elder Holland.  He spoke about the process of a new prophet and the power of the priesthood. 

After church we had were able to see the Nashville temple (right next door), and then we went to the Steven's house for lunch before heading back to Louisville.
