centennial park. isn't it gorgeous??? there's a great trail that surrounds this little pond and bristol and i have spent many of nights out walking the trail, and enjoying the gorgeous scenery. love.
las paletas- privately owned and operated by two sisters who decided to start a business selling their popcycles. i love it not just because it's a local, small business, but because these things are unlike anything you've ever had in your life. perfect on a hot summer day!
there's nothing quite like fall in nashville. every tree turns some beautiful, bright color, there's a crispness in the air, and it is absolutely gorgeous!
ahh, the ryman auditorium. this place just oozes magic. it was the original home of the grand ole opry, and im not joking when i say the minute you step foot inside the auditorium, you immediately feel as though you're a part of something bigger... something special. i love this place. the history is really something, and the acoustics are to die for.
one of my all time favorite things was the nashville farmers market. it was incredible! i would go there on saturdays, to buy all of my fresh fruits/veggies. i always thought it was so beautiful. not just because of the vibrantly colored fruits and veggies filling the baskets either. there was such a sense of community there, and i loved that!
if you're looking for some good southern cooking, this is the place to go! this place has the BEST bisquits you will ever, ever have! if you ever find yourself in our around nashville? you MUST stop here!!!
every year, spring arrives with a bang. the blooming magnolia trees are everywhere you turn. their gorgeous, vibrant, pink flowers make it impossible to ignore that spring has arrived in nashville, and you cant help but feel excited!!!
jack's bbq. mmm. my mouth waters just thinking of their delicious, fall-off-the-bone ribs and chicken! they have a variety of delicious sauces too! this is for sure the best bbq in town!
and of course- how can i possibly mention nashville favorites without talking about these three sweet souls? i miss them so, so much. i love them in a really big, special way.
so there you have it... if you ever make it to nashville that's my two cents on where you might want to go for some good food/fun. i never realized i would miss it like i do. i came here, thinking it was home without realizing IT had become my home. which makes sense really.... i left here when i was so young, and i went there and found myself. i figured out who i was, and who i wasn't. what i wanted out of life, and what i didn't. i spent years building a life for myself, and working to make it my home, so why am i surprised now to realize that it IS my home? i feel like i willingly gave nashville up in my divorce- as if it was his to take from me. but what i failed to realize is that i chose nashville for reasons of my own. i fell in love with nashville before i ever even knew he existed. though i can see how and why colorado has been good for me in many ways, i miss nashville on a daily basis.
