Kid-free. Briefly.

Nathan and I just had our annual Opryland weekend; our favorite weekend of the whole year! We love to go spend a few days focused on just the two of us- walking around without a toddler strapped to our legs, see movies that aren't animated, and eat dinners that don't have to be cut into bite-sized pieces! It's so fun!

Friday night we grabbed a quick bite before catching our first movie (Shutter Island-loved it). We're big Scorsese/Dicaprio fans. Then back to our room for a glass of wine on the balcony.

Saturday we slept in (yay!) and headed to an early lunch at Chili's and the UT/UK game. A little shopping (new sunglasses for the whole fam, beginning to re-stock Nathan's closet since I got rid of most of his clothes while he was gone, and somehow I ended up with a few things too... funny how that always happens?). Another movie- chick flick!- then back to the room to freshen up before our big night.

Highlight of the weekend, Saturday night every year- dinner at Old Hickory. YUM.
SEVEN courses. And only because we passed on the eigth. We were just TOO full. (Well... for a while. We ended up ordering cookies and milk about 11:30pm while watching The Blind Side in our room later).

Chef Seth always treats us especially well and brings out extra little things for us to taste (amazing). Three of my next four meals were my filet from that night- SO much food!

Sunday a.m.- slept in AGAIN, yesss... then one more meal (do you see a theme here?!) before picking up our little piggies. Thanks to Poppy/Deda, Pap/Nonie, and Christina for keeping them happy and healthy so we could enjoy our time together! They all had a blast (we've heard LOTS of stories lol).
