Road Trip!

In April Greg and I took a road trip to Tennessee. We planned this trip around a Sugarland concert in Nashville and the premise of seeing my In Laws new home in North Carolina.

Below are a some photos from the trip!

I love seeing "State" signs pop up when driving. After 12 hours of driving seeing that we have finally made it to our destination state I was thrilled! The drive was beautiful and easy. With stops for food and gas it took us almost 15 hours. We hit no traffic and had beautiful weather. Plus you can not beat the gas prices as you go south! We paid 30-40 cents cheaper per gallon down south!

Ahh, BBQ at the Neely's (from Food Network) restaurant in Nashville. This is the meal we shared: pulled pork, brisket, ribs, wings, coleslaw, baked beans, mac n cheese and sweet tea! It was inexpensive and delicious. No sighting of the Neely's ;-)

The next day we drove a few more hours South-East to Memphis. We toured the Graceland area but did not go inside Elvis's home. There was plenty to see around the area of memorabilia, his 2 planes and lots of gift shops. We signed our names to the Graceland fence near the horses (don't worry there are millions of names on it already). We past Sun Record shop, then made our way to Beale Street.





 Beale Street was fun for a Friday Afternoon. There was a lot of people around sight seeing  drinking and eating. Including Greg and I. We ate a place called Pig On Beale. More BBQ and some big beers. We walked up and down Beale and over to a fair at the end of the block. There is no car traffic permitted on Beale Street, you are able to walk freely up and down it. There is one intersection to cross over. But there are plenty of police to make sure every one is safe.

Finally on Saturday after a day of sight seeing, eating, drinking and shopping in Downtown Nashville we went to the concert. There were 2 opening acts. This is Little Big Town. We love them. Such a fun and talented band. This is our second time seeing Sugarland with Little Big Town.

 Ahhhh, Sugarland- My feel good music. Any time I listen to Sugarland I just feel good. I left this concert feeling like a million bucks! Such great music and wonderful performers. LOVE them!

Sunday we drove from Tennessee to North Carolina to visit with my In laws. We did some sight seeing, shopping and eating there. We left loving the area and just planned another trip for July to visit with them again. Wahoo! Another road trip for a concert and sight seeing. Next up is Zac Brown Band in Charlotte!
