I’ve had the opportunity to travel to many places in both of
my jobs so far post-college (I’m at my second one currently) – some conferences,
some fellowship meetings and some regional events. The best thing is that they
bump up to the weekend most of the time, so I extend my stays. Aside from my
trips to Orlando, I’ve always had friends or family around the area I was at
for work so I enjoyed my visits with them. Out of ALL my work trips (
and I’ve
been on plenty!), Heath has never came with me. Due to basketball, being out of
the country, more basketball and now his job, there has never been a good time
for him to get away. Until last week…
Heath came with me to Nashville! I was there for a marketing
conference Wednesday evening through Friday afternoon and we extended the trip
through the weekend. I know a lot of people think, “What is he doing while you’re
at the conference?” and the great thing is Heath loves doing NOTHING. He loves
being alone and relaxing and not having to do anything – must be a guy thing :) He slept in a lot,
which was well deserved, and he also spent a few hours at the downtown YMCA
playing pick-up basketball. Yes, he is the crazy one in this relationship who
enjoys working out even while on “vacation.” Okay, let’s be real, he is the only one
who works out at all in this relationship.
Anyways, I’m glad he got to come with me as the last time we
were in Nashville, we got engaged! We did all the country, tourist stuff last
time so this time we really wanted to be “like locals” (aside from my fan girl
moment at The Bluebird Café – hi ABC Nashville lovers!). We did our best to
visit all the districts within Nashville, we went to a weekend craft fair at
Centennial Park, we ventured to a small, local Mexican restaurant for the best
shrimp ceviche I’ve ever had in my life and, the best part, we had dinner at
the same place we celebrated our engagement almost 2.5 years ago!
We had a lot of fun, but we decided our next trip has to be
somewhere with a beach so we don’t feel like we have to constantly be doing
something to enjoy the whole trip. I mean, laying out by the ocean constitutes
doing something without even having to move – my kind of (cheap) fun.
Enjoy our pictures! We literally ate our way through Nashville, gained lots of lbs and are now Uber and Lyft elites.
Until next time,
