A rainy Sunday Funday afternoon at Opry Mills is an easy way to entertain a toddler for a couple hours. I got in some steps and we saw fish in three different places! What did you do on this dreary day?
Love this shot by @sttng7!! View from our capital looking down on the Pride festival. I'm bummed that we didnt make it down there this year but braving the rain with a toddler didn't sound like a fun use of time haha. See ya next June, Pride! We'll be there ready to make up for the last two years!
As anyone who follows my IG or reads this blog knows, I love Nashville. I have always considered Nashville home, even as a kid living in Florida; we visited family here many times every year, and when I moved here after college, it felt so familiar and comfortable, even though I couldnt get around without a GPS. Now, more than a decade later, this place is more home than ever, and despite all of this city’s issues and growing pains, I love it. 
"GROCERY STORES, as much as cathedrals or castles, reveal the essence of a place." - Lauren Collins, author of "When in French" @laurenzcollins
Is my child sitting alone at the bar? Yes, yes he is. This was two hours into lunch, he was overtired, hot and dirty, and had his hit head on various things as he played in the yard. So he took a moment to chill out at the bar, examining some rocks he had found. One of the guys who worked there walked over to us and said "uh so he just asked for a beer...... Jk!" 😂 Though tbh, it would not surprise me since he thinks anything that comes in a can is "beer" 😝 Anyway the point of this is that Skyler was able to do all of this - play hard and chill out - at Nectar. It is one of the most kid friendly places you'll find. (Dog friendly too! I wasn't quick enough with the camera to get a shot of him being whacked in the face by a doggy tail; he thought it was hilarious.) The yard is huge, with cornhole, ping-pong, disc golf, and climbing structures. A bunch of the ring/hook games are set up as well, and then hey there's always all those rocks to play with (which Skyler did to very filthy results). Great service (Shout out to Isabella!!), delicious food, and accommodating to children. What more do you need??
Another fun morning at @adventuresci! The Mooch ran around for two hours, saying how "cool" everything was. So glad we have a membership because this is an easy kid-friendly place to let them blow off a ton of energy AND stimulate their brains! The great thing about Sunday mornings? No one is there!
