1. The food. The food was amazing - some of the best Southern comfort food ever. Of course after every meal I needed a nap.
2. The slower pace. This was not LA. Things moved slower here. Partly because you had to. It was too hot and sticky to walk really fast. But the first night we played a checkers game that lasted about 30 minutes.
3. The country lifestyle. Everyone here is so friendly. At the bars downtown they have people outside trying to get you to come into their establishment. We also loved all the boots so much that Sol and I each bought a pair.
And yes this hat! Kind of wish we would have actually bought it.
4. The city itself. This city is influenced by music, by country living, and by artistry. We saw Hatch Show Printing which has had a huge impact on the music industry and the city. The design nerd in me was loving every moment of it. I love all the architecture because we don't get to see a lot of brick buildings in CA - because of you know, the earthquakes and stuff.
We even made our own Hatch Show Printing poster.
Batman building watches over the Music City.
5. The music. There was so much music. Music everywhere, all the time. We saw 9 live show and almost 20 different performers during the 5 days that we were there. Country music has so many different styles from classic, to bluegrass, to modern, and so on. But we heard a lot of talented musicians and country music is really growing on me. It was wonderful.
Seeing the a live show at the Grand Ole Opry was one of my favorite moments.
We met a lot of different bands and musicians.
6. The friendship. We met a lot of new people during our trip. From the serving staff at our hotel bar, to local musicians, to even seeing one of my family group members from ONS. Lots of friendship happened on this trip.
