Rummels: A Nash-tastic Good Time!!!!

Last Wednesday (well, June 9th to be precise), I headed to Nashville with my friends Tori and Adair for the Country Music Association's Music Festival. We met my sister and 5 of her girlfriends there. The trip has been planned for months and, though our original hotel flooded during Nashville's horrific disaster, we managed to make other arrangements at the Holiday Inn near Vanderbilt University. The accomodations were not quite as fancy as the original but, honestly, we couldn't have cared less. Once we got into town and figured out how this whole thing works, we were perfectly content with our hotel as a comfy place to rest our weary heads at the end of 4 very long days. The festival was amazing; I have never been to Nashville and I must say the city is way fun! There was tons to see and do, the locals were way friendly, and everyone there just wanted to have a good time...does it get much better?? Plus, we saw some amazing performances: Jason Aldean, Craig Morgan, Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, and Keith Urban just to name a few. Really, truly SO MUCH FUN....Can't wait till next time!!!!

Picking up our tickets and super fancy tote bags!

Cooling off in the cranberry bog on Broadway...I have to say, I have NEVER been that hot and sweaty...literally, we would sweat ALL day. Thank goodness for "free" hotel showers!!!!!

Our only brush with fame(???)...my sister and I caught Bucky Covington on his way to the bathroom at our hotel. He's definitely had some work done to his teeth since his American Idol days!!!
