Nashville...

This past weekend, the girls, Tina, Val, Cali, my mom and I all traveled to Nashville, TN to visit with Meg, the kids and Julie and catch up with our northern natives. We had a great time! The weather was less than desirable so we hung out in the hotel a lot and had some good quality time visiting. With 5 kids, it had it's moments of chaos, but all in all the kids did great and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

We had a mini birthday party for Julie Friday night. Everyone crashed early that night, and a few of us (room 412) were up at the crack of dawn (thank you Sam). Saturday, Tina, Val and I went into the city and did some touring. Saw Coyote Ugly and visited a Cherry Blossom Festival. It was rainy, so we didn't spend too much time out. Finally found Opryland and got some pretty pictures of the scenery. That night was awesome, but probably a biased opinion from someone who's husband surprised them at the hotel!! Chris was working in the area, so was able to swing by and caught us all off guard when he strolled into the hotel room! A very pleasant and welcome surprise! He joined us for dinner that night and then we all hung out at the hotel, while a few of the kiddies swam at the pool. Great visit! I'd love to go back to Nashville and stay at Opryland and see more of the city. Need to pick a weekend with better weather though.

It was fun to see Meg and Julie and see the babies who are all getting so big! Mary was all over the place, having a blast with Cara and Cali. Sam started to crawl around like Noah, and it was too cute! Look forward to the next visit!
