I've now been to Nashville several times, and every time is a little bit different. Kris had a meeting here and I went along to work during the day and go out at night! I also wanted to see my friend Molly, but unfortunately she was sick.
We stayed at the Hilton Nashville Downtown, which is right in the middle of everything! This was Kris' DMI/NDB/UDIA Board of Directors meeting, where he helps make decisions about farming at the national level.
Here are the fun things I saw and did:
Ran to Wasioto Park, went to the Pedestrian Bridge (always a favorite), ran along the Cumberland River, went to the Nashville Public Square, the Courthouse, and the Tennessee State Capitol.
This was a super fun run/walk, and I also took myself out to lunch at Biscuit Love, since it seemed very southern.
At night, we went to Puckett's Restaurant with our Michigan group, and we enjoyed some great food. Then we went out on Broadway, and there is almost no way to go wrong. People, music, and rooftops! There weren't a ton of people out because it was a Tuesday night, but there are ALWAYS some people out!
The next day, I ran again, this time along the river, then to Painter's Alley, then I explored the beautiful library. The playset in there is a copy of the skyline!
I ate a burrito at the farmers market, then went to the Tennessee State Museum for the first time. Very well done, and free! Definitely recommend. Hair jewelry was really in fashion!
We met up with our friends and went to different places on Broadway. Lots of food, rooftop (it was so warm!), dancing, and people!
Side note - When a group of us came here for Rondi's birthday, Rondi and I bought matching white boots. I wore them and they killed my toenails. They took months to heal. But last night I gave these boots another chance, and they were great!
It was a nice mix of nice outdoor weather, working, and fun dairy farmers and the people working with us. Thanks Nashville!
