This week we're returning to Nashville for Travel Tuesday. Last week we touched on eating on Broadway, Country Music Hall of Fame, and rainy day fun. This week we'll finish the trip!
Monday we got up and did what Mr. wanted, Pancake Pantry. He's a huge breakfast person and was very happy to say the least. Then, we saved the best for last, The Grand Ol' Opry. The Mecca. The only reason I wanted to make a trip to Nashville. I woke up stoked. Since it was across the street from our hotel, we chose to take the shuttle over to the Opryland Hotel. We were told we "had" to check it out, so that we did.
And lost we got.

It's a maze in there y'all.Beautiful, but a maze.
Our plan was to walk the less then a mile over to the Opry House, and once we found our way out of there and outside... it was pouring. So, in the pouring rain we walked over to the Opry... maybe getting lost again a time or two. Ayi yi yi. It was definitely a frustrating half hour to get to the Opry house,when it should have taken 5 minutes, but we MADE IT!
After an amazing tour, my vacation was made. Back to the hotel to get our sleep as we had to be up early the next morning!! We were heading home..with a detour in CHICAGO!
Our first official boyfriend/girlfriend date was a trip to Wrigley Field to see the Brewers/Cubs play. For some reason...Mr. likes the Cubs. We have tried to make it a tradition to get down there once a year, and if we can't, then make it to a Brewer/Cub series in Milwaukee. It just so happened that on Tuesday, the Brewers would be at Wrigley Field....hollllla ;)
On the road we went and made it to the game with time to spare. Pretty sure the Cubs won... they have every single series we've been too. As a Brewer fan, that bums me out.
After a long drive back home, okay fine, 3 hours, we got to sleep in our own beds. As much as I looooove vacation guys, sleeping in my own bed is amazing.
Oh yeah. And this chunk was more excited about our hats then us being home.
