Hollywood with a touch of twang

This past weekend Leah, Ashley, and I headed to Music City for a girls trip to the "crazy town full of neon dreams". It was a quick trip filled with shady hotels, seeing new sights, and catching up with a childhood friend. We went to Broadway street Friday night and got to see all the bars and hear lots of country music. It was a fun environment and it was a lot of fun to people watch. Saturday we took a tour of the Grand Ole Opry and then went shopping at Opry Mills. Grand Ole Opry was really great and it was cool to hear about all the history behind it. 

Where all the fan mail goes

One of my favorite singers

Some things I don't want to forget from the trip

*Leah saying she was going to be the ugly one because she did not bring cowboy boots or a dress like Ashley and I did {she was joking but the way she said it made us all laugh}

*Waiting half an hour to get our money back from our shaddy hotel that we were going to stay in but decided not to after it seemed like a bad area and the room was gross

*Getting half way to Broadway street and then turning back because Leah realized she did not have her ID after she had told us to make sure we had ours

*Leah being fascinated with the sting rays at the restaurant and saying she wanted one for a pet

*Catching up with a childhood friend I had not seen in over 10 years

*  Leah being a super shopper :) 

I had such a great time hanging out my friends, catching up on our lives, laughing about the crazy things we do and getting to go to a new place

Fishin and Felons

I just sucked you into reading with that intriguing title didn't I ;) A couple of weekends ago we headed to Lake Erie with Kyle's family to go fishing but on the way we stop at shawshank prison. Shawshank Redemption is one of Kyle's favorite movies and he was really excited to see where they filmed the movie. Here are just a few of the many pictures Kyle took

Not very tall cells

Feel free to insert this song here

People can rent this place out at the prison, I would never want to go to a event there lol 

Sunday morning we woke up bright and early to go fishing.
