Nashville 2010

I had a doctor's appointment on Friday at Vanderbilt, so we headed to Nashville, TN about 5:30 a.m..  We went to the doctor, then met up with 2 of our friends who are doctors at Vanderbilt, Andy and Anna, for a short visit. Then, we headed to the ICE exhibit. The theme this year, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."  It was once again Impressive to say the least. Conner did well considering we each had about 10 layers of clothes on and he was buried under blankets in his stroller. They keep it at 9 degrees in there. Then, we had lunch at Caney Fork. It was a great place to eat. We will definitely go back. I never order ribs, but the waitress said they were "Awesome." So, we both got them and she was RIGHT. They were very tasty. Then, we headed to the hotel for a nap. Then, back out. We went to Bass Pro Shop to see the renovation, shop, and see Santa. We saw Santa the night before at Daycare and that didn't go well. So, we asked Conner Friday when he got a glimpse of Santa, if he wanted to go talk to him. His answer "NO." So, we stared at him for a long time from a distance. Then we would shop for awhile. He would then say "Santa...... Where Go?" So, we would go stalk Santa from a distance again. I would ask again if he wanted to talk to him. "NO" was always the answer. We stalked him about 6 times while we were there. He kept wanting to go watch him. So, that is how we see Santa now. From a distance. After Bass Pro, we went to the Opryland Hotel to browse. It was gorgeous as usual. Then, time for dinner and a late bedtime. Oh well. We came home first thing Saturday. A good time was had by all.
