Nashville Weekend Recap | Life on Virginia Avenue

For many who adjust to me on Instagramyou seen that we spent the weekend in Nashville. My husband was really there your full week for work after which I flew in on Thursday afternoon to spend the weekend there. We have now been there notably for a revenue dwell efficiency (you can study further on that unbelievable experience on the end of this submit), nonetheless we did get in a mini-vacation of varieties and had time to find the attractive metropolis on our private (largely in the midst of the daylight hours)!

After I arrived Thursday night time, we had our first Uber experience (cherished it!) and had dinner and drinks at Soulshine Pizza Manufacturing unit. The pizza wasn’t my favorite nonetheless the ambiance couldn’t be beat. We sat upstairs near the rooftop house and liked music from the Corbett Brothers. They’ve been so satisfying to look at and if I hadn’t been so drained from a day of journey, we perhaps would have stayed even later!

Friday we nearly had the day to ourselves. We headed downtown to do some sightseeing and hit up well-known bars, theaters, auditoriums, and lots of others. Sadly, a great deal of these places don’t have the equivalent enchantment in broad daylight, nonetheless we had so much satisfying exploring city! After dropping in a few of the bars, we ultimately stayed at Honky Tonk Central. Sadly, I don’t know the title of the three artists performing nonetheless they’ve been so much satisfying to look at! We ended up grabbing lunch there and staying a few hours. This sign had me laughing and pondering that me and Nashville have been going to get alongside merely constructive 😉

That night time, we had tickets to the model new Ascend Amphitheater downtown to see Colony Residence, Drew Holcombe & The Neighbors, Switchfoot, and NeedToBreathe. After dinner on the twelfth Avenue Faucet Room, we solely caught the ultimate monitor of Drew Holcombe’s (and missed Colony Residence completely) nonetheless we seen all of Switchfoot and NeedToBreathe. I solely knew of a few of their songs going into it, nevertheless it certainly was such an excellent dwell efficiency and the venue was lovely! I’ve already downloaded a lot of of the songs I cherished from the event.

We went to the once more of the amphitheater on the intermission to grab this beautiful view with the skyline throughout the background.  So beautiful!

On Saturday morning, we purchased up and did a little bit bit shopping for. Since now we have been staying in Brentwood and didn’t want to journey too far (my brother was flying in spherical lunch time) we walked to a close-by shopping for center that had a Nordstrom Rack and HomeGoods/TJ Maxx. By the purpose now we have been carried out shopping for and our baggage have been full, there was torrential rain exterior so we grabbed one different Uber. By the tip of this journey, I really feel we had used it a minimal of eight events 😉

As quickly as my brother arrived, we headed to Mafiaosas Pizza, one different pizzeria we had heard good points about. The meals was great and the lined patio was good because of it was nonetheless raining like crazy.

That night time, we had a revenue dwell efficiency, which was possibly one among many coolest events I’ve ever attended. A great good friend/co-worker of every my husband and brother has a 5 12 months earlier son with Down syndrome. The family primarily based Miles 4 Milesa non-profit group throughout the Nashville house to assist totally different native non-profits that enhance the lives of people with psychological and developmental disabilities. That’s one great family and group!

Saturday night, the inspiration held a revenue dwell efficiency at Inexperienced’s Grocery in Leiper’s Fork (a tiny earlier former grocery retailer that is solely used for 10-12 events a 12 months and it is lovable). There have been about 140 in attendance (which is functionality for the venue) and it was such an unbelievable, intimate effectivity by the entire artists. First up was Chris Janson (of “You Can Buy Me A Boat” fame) and it ended with songwriters/singers Chris DiStefano and Rhett Akins (who moreover happens to be Thomas Rhett’s father, in case you’re not acquainted). They’re every the true deal, having written hits for Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, amongst others.

I really can’t say enough about these generous artists that donated their time, personalities and satisfying to assist this set off. Not solely that, they’ve been hilarious, entertaining and easily really cool dudes! It was such an unbelievable night and we’re already attempting forward to subsequent 12 months’s dwell efficiency!

We fully cherished Nashville and I can’t wait until we go to as soon as extra! Earlier to the dwell efficiency, I seen my first ever legit blooming magnolia tree and it was a super lasting image to be burned into my ideas for this journey. It was so beautiful!

Monday I took the day without work since we didn’t get dwelling until Sunday afternoon. I anticipated to get a bunch carried out project-wise, nonetheless you understand how that goes. BUT, the consuming room is formally carried out, aside from a few minor styling tweaks. I’ve the reveal scheduled for subsequent Tuesday to allow for me to {{photograph}} the home (it rained all day yesterday so that was but another issue on the to-do report that didn’t get accomplished). I hope you all had a super weekend!
