Nashville Night

We have been planning this trip for months now. We were planning to come on this trip to visit our friend, Chris in August until Bennett broke his arm. He even sent us a typed itinerary of each day's activities. We had to postpone until we had a little break. Since I am off for Fall break on Monday, we thought this was a great time to go. Beck was in medical school in Shreveport for four years and was sort of our child. We fed him about 3 nights a week and we all loved it. He is even Bennett's self-proclaimed god-father. He begged us to visit in while he did his intern year in Austin, but we never made it. We knew we needed to go to Nashville while he does his residency at Vanderbilt. So here we are! We arrived in Nashville after our morning in Memphis. We got to his swanky apartment building that he said he was leaving unlocked for us. The only bad part was that he forgot to mention that you cannot use the elevator without a special card. We found someone to get us up to his floor and waited for him to get home.

We did a quick driving tour of Nashville and got to see a lot of Vanderbilt. We saw the hospital and where Beck works. We decided to do downtown and get some dinner at Merchants. We did not know that we needed a reservation, so we had to walk around a while until our table was ready.

Bennett thought Elvis was pretty cool!

We stopped and looked at cowboys boots since we were in country music land.

We had a nice dinner at Merchants. Bennett loved the duck fat fried tater tots. Right when he got there he threw his sippy cup onto the table and busted the candle holder. We thought we were done before we started.

Beck thought he would be funny to put the tater tot on his finger as well.

After a long day, we went back to the apartment and blew up our air mattress. We had a fun-filled day!
