fun filled saturday

Brad surprised me on Saturday with a really wonderful and much needed fun filled day! I had a family shoot super early on saturday, and after I got home he told me to get dressed and get ready to go. Go Where I asked? He did not tell me where we were going, but of course I had my suspicions. I assumed that he had read my blog with my Thursday 13 of the things I want to do in Nashville, and assumed he was going to do some of those things. Well...as we got closer and closer to the city, I figured my assumptions were right. Little did I know that he had something planned before he even read my blog! We pull up to the Frist ( on my list ) and I was excited, but didnt feel like I was really in a "museum mood" if there is such a thing. Then, much to my surprise he tells me what kind of exhibit we were getting to see! It was an exhibit called "The Best of Photography and Film" from the George Eastman House collection. How perfect! Love it! I had seen this exhibit advertised in Washington DC last year when our family went for Thanksgiving, but no one wanted to go in and see it. I had no idea it was in Nashville! So, we spent a couple of hours walking through the museum looking at all kinds of fabulous old cameras, famous old photographs, and I was oohing and aahhing over all of it. Brad was even interested in it as well. It was perfect. After the exhibit, I walked through the gift shop and bought myself a pinhole camera....I plan on having all kinds of fun with that, so stay tuned for some of those photographs. After the Frist, we went on a beautiful drive to the Loveless cafe! (also on my list) The drive was beautiful (on the Natchex trace parkway - also on my list!) and the cafe did not disappoint. Brad and I are HUGE Cracker Barrell fans...but I have to say that the Loveless is right up there....the biscuits may have even been...dare I say...better! My family is coming in town this weekend and I hope to take them there and see what they think. I was pooped after our fun filled day, so after dinner, we just went home and relaxed. It was such a great day! Thanks love for surprising me with THREE things off my list. 9 more to go! :)







me and my best friend.....ha ha
