I left on Saturday and flew into Nashville... I love taking pics out the airplane window!
Dustin and the fam picked me up and we drove to Kentucky... and of course the FIRST thing we did was eat at my favorite restuarant , the Woodshed. Good ol home cookin... AND I finished off my meal with a huge piece of pecan PIE (insert southern accent)
After church on Sunday we went on a walk...
the weather was absolutely gorgeous!
the next day Aimee had to take Joslyn to the doc, so the rest of us went to a cute little park. You can see in this pic that almost all the leaves have fallen and the trees are bare....
BUT... NOT this one... this HUGE maple tree saved it's leaves just for me...
cuz everyone knows how MUCH i love fall! Thank you maple tree!
After the park we got a donut... Dustin had been raving about a little family owned donut shop there called Whistle Stop... I like donuts and I'm a pretty big fan of Krispy Kremes.... but... I HAVE NEVER HAD A DONUT THIS GOOD IN MY LIFE!!! REALLY!!! This is the best donut ever... I can't wait to go back... might be awhile though!
Good ol tire swing fun
Yep... it's raining... but that didn't stop Aimee and me from doing a little antique shopping!
So with the weather being a little cooler it was a great time to start a fire...
...while the girls were inside making fried chicken and homemade fries!
that fire wasn't just for looks... Dustin made one of his yummy peach (with fresh canned peaches by Aimee) cobbler
... so ya think we would be FULL after a meal like like that... but we didn't want to waste the coals from the fire... so we made smores!
I have to include a pic of Snowball
On my last day there Aimee had a big meeting to go to... so we said goodbye then me Dustin and the girls headed to Nashville...
... and went to the Opryland Mills Mall... does that name sound familiar?... yep... it's a lot like Arizona Mills back when it was popular.
We didn't really go there to shop... we went there to eat at the Aquarium Restuarant.
They had HUGE aquariums there with really cool fish in them...
It was a VERY nice place... cloth napkins etc... and the food was YUM... I ordered fish tacos that were the best I ever had... yep... I did a lot of good eatin on this trip!
Across from the restuarant was this stingray place with MORE aquariums, a Merry go round , some games and a HUGE stingray tank. We wanted to feed the stingrays... but I didn't want to smell like fish on my plane trip home... so Dustin fed them. They would come right up and take the shrimp right out of your hand... Dustin said it was weird...
I loved watching these seahorses
I only rode the Merry go round a couple times, but I think Dustin rode it a HUNDRED times...
Before I left I wanted to pet the stingrays... they were kinda slimy and dissappointed that I din't have food.
Here's me and the girls in front of the pirahnas... they were actually cool looking fish and I'm glad we weren't there at feeding time!
