Nashville- Saturday

(For record keeping sake, we're on Saturday, March 19, 2011)

We started Saturday morning by heading to Franklin (where the stars live!). We went to the "historic downtown" and walked around the shops on Main Street. We sat and enjoyed a small breakfast/brunch at Starbucks and then continued our (my) window shopping. I did however leave Franklin with an adorable hat from this super cute store called Philanthropy. They don't have a website, but they do sell off Facebook. Unfortunately we didn't see anyone famous, and I forgot to stop by the Bluebird Cafe that a lot of people are discovered at (Taylor Swift, to name one), and apparently eat lunch. I was sad about that, but that just means we'll have to take another trip back!!

After Franklin we hit up REI in Brentwood and then headed back downtown to grab lunch at 5 Guys (yeah!!) and catch the Country Music Hall of Fame before getting the Predators played the Red Wings.

We didn't know the Country Music Hall of Fame would close at 5, so when we got there just before 4 we were nervous we wouldn't have enough time...but since the tickets were 1/2 off for being so late in the day we took our chances. It's a good thing we did because we finished the whole place in exactly and hour and didn't rush/skip anything we wouldn't have skipped in the first place.

The architecture was amazing. The building is built to look like the bass clef  when seen from the air. And the windows in the font combined with the facade of the building are designed to look like piano keys- blacks and whites. 

Keith Urban- Days Go By

Miranda Lambert- White Liar

 

The walls were full of floor to ceiling gold and platinum records. Very cool!

After the CMHF we walked over to Bridgestone Arena to grab our seats for the Preds vs. Red Wings. It was a crazy game, people were crazy loud (as it should be) and there was even some Red Wings fans seated by us. I may or may not have shouted mean things at them. Preds won, Scott learned that we don't say nice things to the opposing teams fans, even when they are nice to us, and we headed to the Flying Saucer beside our hotel for celebratory dessert. It was AWESOME!! Hands down, my favorite thing to do (go to NHL games, not eat dessert at Flying Saucer).

I know it's blurry but this was Krazy Kyle. He played the organ the whole game.  Mom- I think I found your new job. Scott said your name could be Tasmanian Tammy

Scott got us great seats!! And there was nobody behind us because we ended the first section. So nice!

In our seats enjoying the win!
