We decided to take a last minute trip to Nashville with just the kids. We decided it would probably be our last family trip with just the four of us, which kind of makes me emotional in a weird way. It makes me excited that the baby will be here soon, but it makes me a touch sad because it has been just the four of us for almost four years now, kind of hard to explain, but it's a whole mix of emotions....ahhh the wonder of hormones :) We went on Priceline and got a really good deal on the Doubletree hotel in downtown Nashville and as soon as the kids heard they had a pool, they were in! It was only about a 3 1/2 hour drive from our house, so it wasn't too bad. Nashville was BEAUTIFUL!! I totally get why the country music stars live there. The houses are gorgeous, there are a ton of plush green hills/mountains and the people are so friendly. I could see us living there one day, if only we could bring our family and friends with us. We checked into our hotel and immediately went swimming. The kids LOVE to swim. Jackson actually had his swimmies off for a good 30minutes with Scott and was swimming really well. He could find his to the side of the pool and swim in between Scott and I. He felt like such a big boy! Leah preferred to keep the swimmies on and just hang out in our arms or on the stairs of the pool.

After swimming we all showered and got ready to go to dinner. There was a cute man on the side of the street making balloon animals for all the kids and he made me a little poodle with a "baby" in the tummy. It was so cute!
Jackson and Leah waiting to go into dinner...Jackson chose an Anteater balloon, don't ask me why :)

On our way home we decided to stop by the Gaylord OpryLand and I was so glad we did. This hotel was ridiculous!!! It was so big. The landscape inside was beautiful!! They had Gondalas inside the hotel you could ride, which the kids wanted to do so bad but it was already 2:00 so we decided we should save it for when we come back. We already decided we are going to try to go back for Christmas with the kids, they do a huge Christmas show and light display.

It was a fun little trip and the kids were so sad to go, Leah cried for the first ten minutes of the car ride home that she didn't want to leave. We look forward to our next trip there as a family of 5!!!
