In March (yeah, I've been a bit behind on the blogging), some of my friends from the Notre Dame alumni club and I took a road trip to Nashville. From the minute we walked onto Broadway, I was in love! The city is full of things to do, the streets are clean, and the sweet tea is that good.
On Friday we headed out to the main strip for some dinner and dancing. It's like a smaller, cleaner, safer version of Vegas.
On Saturday, we drove out to the Loveless Cafe where we had biscuits and grits for brunch. My favorite part though, was just sitting on the porch sipping sodas while waiting for our table. What else does one do in the South?

After the Loveless Cafe, we drove through the suburb of Belle Meade (turns out this is Al Gore's hometown). It was one of the most beautiful neighborhoods I've ever been in. Old homes, stone walls, creeks, and trees everywhere.
Then we took a side trip to Greece to visit the Parthenon.
Okay, really, it was the full scale replica across from Vanderbilt. Still pretty impressive and it made for great photo taking opportunities!
Saturday evening was the Bluebird Cafe, a tiny hole in the wall where up and coming artists give performances.
On Sunday, we did a little sight seeing by the river before making the 5 hour drive home.
I enjoyed Nashville so much, I was scanning job opportunities there. Unfortunately, Nashville is big on music and healthcare, not so much on the defense and technology. It makes for a good road trip anyway!
