Vegas

Back April my friend Amanda and I flew to Vegas for the weekend to meet Scott and her boyfriend Jay who were already there for a tradeshow. It was my first trip to Vegas and it was certainly a fun one!

Excuse the cell phone photos. I do have some more photos from my actual camera I hope to post soon!

Nashville Part 2

While in Nashville we also went to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

One of my favorite things in the Museum were the handwritten items from the stars such as letters to their family, but most of all the handwritten lyrics to songs that we know and love.

When in Nashville, we heard you have to go to Tootsie's World Famous Orchid Lounge!

We ventured out of town a bit to visit the American Picker's store, Antique Archaeology. It was cool to see things in the store that we'd seen them "pick" on certain episodes.

Nashville- Part 1

Back in November, Scott and I had the opportunity to go to Nashville, TN. I have always wanted to go! Not only did we just get to go to Nashville, but we also went to the CMA Awards while we were there. It was the BEST! If you're a country music fan, I'd HIGHLY recommend it! All of the stars together, like one big concert!

We walked over to the red carpet. We didn't have a very good view of it. Under the red drapes are where stars get out of their cars and walk through the white tent to the left. We waiting for about 5 minutes but never saw a vehicle coming so we walked back over to the Arena so we could go ahead in and get our seats.

Our seats were directly stage left. It was a live show and it was amazing to watch how the show was produced. If you didn't make it back from the bathroom before commericals were over, you had to stand outside and miss part of the show.

Lots of artists singing a tribute to Willie Nelson...

After the show outside the arena...

After the show we went directly across the street to Rippy's upstairs and listened to an awesome band. I loved that there was music everywhere in this city!

Hands down my most favorite vacation yet!

Nags Head Vacation: Part Four

As I've mentioned before, while on vacation it rained most of the time. On our last full day of being there Brooke and I decided to take Crewe and Grace to see a movie. They chose Madagascar 3. It really was a cute movie, but nothing is a cute as these two! :)

Nags Head Vacation: Part Three

Our cousins that live in Florida were down for the week! They made a trip to Ocracoke while they were nearby and stopped to visit us in Nags Head on their way through! It was wonderful to see them and get some playtime together in the pool.

During our Nags Head vacation we only got two beach days in due to rain! This beach day was on Friday! Crewe came and spent the night with us Thursday night so he and Grace could play together and could spend all day on the beach Friday!
