Fun Fun Times!

I can't believe it has been a week since I last blogged. My wonderful friend Michelle from My Favorite Things came to visit this last week. We had such a great time. Michelle and I both moved from Texas around the same time and have been going through similar experiences the last six months. It was great to see each other again and laugh!

Michelle is originally from the South so she was very excited to come to Nashville. I think she felt at home here. We decided to go and visit some of the plantation homes and started with Andrew Jackson's (the 7th President) home.

The Hermitage - Inside the Palor - His Tomb

It was beautiful. The interior still has the same wallpaper and furniture as when he was alive. It is pretty amazing. However, after this little adventure with two toddlers we decided that was the last antebellum home we were going to be looking at! We then headed off to lunch and shopping at Opry Mills. It was fun and Michelle found some cute shirts at the Bananna Republic Outlet.

On Friday we took the kids to a fun musuem and then that evening (thanks to my hubby) we went out to dinner and a movie. We went to Texas Roadhouse for old times sake.

We saw a great movie called Stardust (if you haven't seen it, see it!)

Saturaday we went shopping in this fun little historic downtown area of Franklin and out to lunch. It was so fun just to look around a get great ideas.

We found this fun idea and made these great frames.

Michelle and I busy working!

Our two little guys had a good time. I think they were slightly neglected by their mothers. Hey but they still got fed! They both have the same blanket thanks to our talented friend Katri. They would fight over each others blankies. It was funny. Here they are both content each having their own blankie in hand!

It was a great time and I'm so glad my wonderful friend Michelle came to stay the weekend and left being a better friend than before (if that's possible!)
