<\/a><\/p>\nCan I just tell you how my perspective on flights has changed since becoming a mom? Waiting for a flight? No problem. A bathroom stall all to myself? What a luxury. Quiet time for, gasp<\/em>, reading? Amazing!<\/p>\n I arrived in Nashville and a friend of Stacy\u2019s, Erin, who I had never met picked me up at the airport. So sweet of her! We jetted to the Doubletree Hotel Downtown (great location BTW), met up with all the girls and headed to lunch at Back Alley Diner.<\/p>\n I was looking for something substantial to prep me for the libations to come and opted for the grilled buffalo chicken wrap and fries.<\/p>\n Back at the hotel, Jay\u2019s sister surprised Stacy with an adorable tray of champagne and desserts.<\/p>\n So thoughtful! With the pop of a champagne cork, the celebration began.<\/p>\n A toast, fun question games and present opening had us laughing, crying and really enjoying being together.<\/p>\n At 5:00 we had to rush Stacy along to get her ready and out the door for a big surprise\u2026<\/p>\n A limo!<\/p>\n The limo was a huge hit. Our driver, Michael, was wonderful. We brought out own champagne, jammed out to our own tunes (Erin was a great DJ!) and drove around Nashville taking pictures.<\/p>\n To say it was a blast would be selling it short. It was ridiculously fun!<\/p>\n Eventually we made it to dinner at a great spot called Pub 5.<\/p>\n I was so nervous picking a restaurant, but really lucked out with this choice. The atmosphere was rustic and relaxed and the food was delicious! Toni and I split the seafood pasta, though I could have easily licked the plate clean myself.<\/p>\n From there, the party continued to the honkytonks. We danced, we celebrated, we got a little crazy. My view for the rest of the night looked a little like this:<\/p>\n But man oh man is Nashville a fun town. I loved the street performers who worked Stacy\u2019s name into the songs.<\/p>\n I excitedly grabbed this hot dog on the way back to the hotel at a chilly 2:30am (I\u2019d guess?). Old habits die hard.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
