School is out and it's time to head to Nashville for the first full week of summer, only our trip got lengthened just a little bit. We decided to have most of the inside of our painted and since fresh paint & little children don't mix well, we headed to Nashville a few days early, making our trip last 10 days! It was one of our best trips yet! Rick couldn't join us and we missed him but the kids couldn't have been better! The trip there was long with three torrential downpours and a 1 1/2 hour traffic standstill in Atlanta, but not one complaint! While we were in Nashville, we were able to enjoy 2 fun days at the bookstore- Star Wars and then Junie B. Jones. We also were able to get together with some of my good friends from high school at a place called Bounce U where all 7 of our kids could play. Probably our most fun day came at a Discovery Museum in Murfreesboro where the kids built cars, played in water, watched trains, played in a grocery store and a kitchen, and walked around a trail outside to see waterfalls and ducks. It was such a great trip and we hated to leave but it's nice to back home to our own (newly painted & carpeted) home and most of all, to Daddy!
