We headed to Nashville for the weekend to use a couple of free hotel nights we had. We stayed at a wonderful hotel and spent the weekend relaxing and having fun. Friday night we took a picnic dinner to a local park. Kayla found this log cabin to play in and she really enjoyed sweeping and ringing the bell. We then took a short hike through the woods. Macy was fascinated with the trees all around.
Saturday we went to Opryland Hotel and walked around for a while. For those of you who have never been, it is a huge indoor garden with waterfalls and a river full of fish. It is absolutely gorgeous and it was so nice to stroll around.
After the Opryland Hotel we went over to OpryMills. It's a huge shopping mall/outlet. We ate lunch at the Aquarium which is a restaurant that is basically an aquarium that you eat in. We didn't get too many good pictures because Macy was pretty tired and cranky. After lunch we bought tickets to Stingray Reef. They have a carousel that you can ride as many times as you want. Score for Kayla!
After dinner at the Rainforest Cafe (again Macy was tired and cranky and a little frightened of the place) Marc and Kayla fed the stingrays. That was an adventure! I think the shrimp kept getting dropped in instead of hand-feeding the sting rays. Kayla got pretty brave and started touching them. 
It was a great time to get away and enjoy our girls without errands or chores to do. I think we will all sleep well tonight in our own beds - instead of all 4 of us in a king-size bed. That's a whole 'nother story!
Oh so close! Hope you had fun in Tennessee!
