On one hand ten years have flown by. But on the other hand, it seems long (in the best way possible). It feels like I've always been married to John. Like there isn't a time when I haven't been. But, obviously, there was a time when I was single.
To celebrate our anniversary John and I drove to Nashville, TN! I have wanted to go to Nashville since I was in junior high (since that's where all of the Christian musicians were located)! We had a few things on our list of things to do but otherwise we just wanted our time away to be really free. We were so excited that we left at 6AM and drove straight through arriving at our hotel about 8PM. We visited the Johnny Cash Museum, walked by the honky tonks, went on a backstage tour of the Grand Ole Opry, toured Opryland, attended a Nickel Creek concert at the Ryman Auditorium, toured four historical houses in the area and learned a lot about the civil war (particularly the Battle of Franklin, November 30, 1864). Oh and did we eat!?! We ate so well! Nashville is such a foodie little place. We ate at The Pharmacy, Husk, the City House, Grey's on Main, and Pinewood Social. We loved Nashville!

Nickel Creek concert at the Ryman
John on the way down at a rest stop in MO. We were amazed at the warm temperature, the sun and the GREEN grass!
Johnny Cash Museum
Looking down Broadway toward all the Honkytonks.
We aren't big country fans but we appreciated the Grand Ole Opry tour.
Inside the Opryland Hotel and Convention Center. That place was huge!
Our anniversary dinner at Husk before the concert.
Walking over to downtown Nashville from the LP field.

On the way home we stopped at the Arch. St. Louis, MO.
