I finally downloaded a lot of pictures off of my phone yesterday and saw so many things that I wanted to share with ya'll. As I would take these pictures I would always think, "Oh man, I have to blog about this place!" Then time would get away from me and I wouldn't do it. So...here are some snapshots of some fun Nashville and neighborhood finds.
First up is the cutest new coffee shop in Franklin called "Frothy Monkey". I had been to their first location in Nashville and was waiting for this one to open up because it was a lot closer to where I live. It is always busy and I was happy to hear that they opened seating upstairs. I have only had coffee (the Turtle mocha was amazing!) but the food looks incredible!
One of my favorite blessings since moving here was meeting my friend Whitney. She has been so fun to get to know. You know the girl who seems good at everything creative? That's Whitney! I love our lunch dates which now includes her yummy son ,Liam. She gave me such a special treat when she invited me to a recording session her dad was doing. He had arranged some songs to be recorded for the Christian groups, First Call and Steve Green. For those who really know me you know that I LOVED it and it was so much fun to watch. I tried really hard to be on my best behavior!
Matt and I kept hearing about a yummy burger spot called The Pharmacy. It. Was. Unbelievable. Matt had the Farm burger which is one of their most popular. It had beef, ham, bacon with an egg on top. I was afraid that if I ate that I would die right there of a heart attack so I went for a plain old cheeseburger. It was so good. The buns were made locally. They make their own sodas like an old fashioned soda shop and they might make their own beers also. I didn't have a soda and decided to wait until Ivy was with us to have that special treat.
A beautiful picture of downtown Nashville.
I had been part of an auction for a family in our church who was adopting. I got tickets to a fun jumpy house called Pump it Up. Even though I was a little freaked out about the germ factor, I told myself I would spray the girls down when we got home and I let them have a blast.
Here is my hard working husband cooking at Waffle House. I stopped by to see him one day. Having never worked in a restaurant before, he is getting to be quite a cook cook!
Matt and I visited a shop called Nashville Pickers and it reminded us that Antique Archaeology from the show American Pickers had opened a new location in Nashville. The original is not far from my parent's house but this was fun to visit the Nashville store.
One restaurant that we have been really wanting to go to since we have moved here is Burger Up. We visited the one in Nashville and it was so yummy! Everything they make is grown locally.
They even make their own ketchup and mustard. I had the Memphis burger and truffle fries. I will have that burger again. The bun (made locally) was so soft and everything tasted so fresh.
I asked about kids menus and it was really cute because they have a basket full of children's books and inside the cover is the menu taped to it.
We have joined a rec center as a family and when we went yesterday, they were having a craft fair. They let kids to all kinds of crafts for free. Painting, coloring masks, making notebooks, making pottery and face painting! My girls loved it and I thought it was really fun.
