A Much Needed Getaway...

Last year Shea and I had several trips planned that got cancelled for different reasons. Well when we got home from the hospital Shea and I planned a trip to Nashville, TN. We had such a great time. We stayed at the Opryland Hotel...WOW! That place is unbelievable. We spent an afternoon just walking around the hotel in amazement at the flowers and Christmas decorations. While in Nashville we toured the Ryman Auditorium where later in our visit we wen to the Opry, toured the Hall of Fame, went to How the Grinch Stole Christmas on Ice, Louise Mandrell's Christmas Dinner Show, and saw the Radio City Rockettes!!! ICE was wild. We had to wear these HUGE parkas and it was COLD! Everything in the building was made out of ICE. My personal favorite was the Rockettes Show. If you have never seen this I would highly recommend it. Shea liked everything about Nashville. It was right up his alley! The last night we were there we went to an old favorite restaurants...Chappys. For those of you who don't know Chappy's was located in Long Beach, MS but Hurricane Katrina destroyed the restaurant and Chappy relocated to Nashville. The food was the same...DELICIOUS!!! That night we also hung out at the famous Tootsie's Bar. TOO MUCH FUN!

This trip was such a nice getaway for Shea and I. We had such a roller coaster year...and one that we would not change. Shea and I enjoyed each other's company and we were able to relax!
