Howdy Ya'll, the ladies and I headed down to Nashville for a fun ladies getaway trip two weekends ago. It was so much fun! We painted the town and were thoroughly entertained ever second even up to the hour before we left for the airport. Here is a quick recap of where we went but it doesn't even go into all the details on where we ventured!
We arrived on Friday AM via Southwest and went straight to get our nails done and get the tea on what to do in Nashville. Monique was my nail technician and was hilarious. Great manicure and the best recommendations throughout Nashville. I highly recommend you checking out the Nail salon in the Arcade if you need a little pampering and entertainment to start off your trip!
Next we ventured to Jack's BBQ on Broadway and it did not disappoint! Our friend at the hotel had said.. "I mean I don't know about you ladies but I love BBQ" and he was right to steer us to Jack's. Here is a taste of what we ordered. Just note that everyone in Nashville does not really talk while they're eating and they did not enjoy us gabbing away while eating and talking about everywhere we wanted to go!
Pulled pork, green beans, Coors light and their "veggie" aka Mac and Cheese
This is a must to visit if you like BBQ
Next we walked up to the Ryman and the Country Music hall of fame to see the star row outside since the museum was closed. We loved touring the Ryman and seeing the clothes from all of the past stars and sat in the rows that are still the originals.
We left our history lesson and ended up going into Honky Tonk Central on Broadway to take in our first live music bar. We were entertained here by some already blacked out friends dancing to the music. It was phenomenal and a great way to start off our night at 3pm.
After a few sweet teas, we stumbled back up to the hotel to change for our night at the Grand Ole Opry! That was one of the highlights of the trip for me! We got to see Carrie Underwood along with 6 other bands for only $40 which is insane! It was gorgeous inside and everyone starred at us here because we stalked up on tall boys before we sat down so we wouldn't have to go back.. typical yankees.
All my pictures of Carrie are here as a glow doll because of her gorgeous Yellow dress.
Next place was a stop on Broadway! Legends was our favorite of the night :)
Saturday was filled with walking around to the Gulch neighborhood with a stop at Two Old Hippies, Whiskey Bar and the Union Hotel. It was kind of a rainy day but we made the most of it. There is a free bus that takes you to the Gulch neighborhood for free, but you can really walk. Two things we learned in Nashville, they do not like walking and they do not wear coats!
Much needed bloody's
Their Rain gear for the day
My Favorite neighborhood to say
The Union Hotel
Saturday night brought on our favorite band in the city. We thought Legends was the best on Friday but little did we know Mista Davis was at Honky Tonk Central on Friday and Saturday night. We all fell in love with the band and especially him. He played Ms. Virginia for us and it was perfect. He was a great cover band and the lead girl singer was amazing as well. It was a great end to the night because it took us a little bit to get started.
We were in the front row
Sunday was a little lazy getting started and we got more BBQ and walked around a bit. We ended our Nashville trip with watching Beyonce rock the Superbowl Halftime show before almost missing our flight back to Chicago.
We're hoping to go back very soon when it is a bit warmer. The cowboys were very welcoming and almost too entertaining at some parts. If anyone is ready to make a trip soon, sign me up!
