The volunteer state
Oh Tennessee, home to hush puppies, sweet tea, and more country songs than I know! Tennessee actually holds a huge place in my heart because it was the first state I traveled to all by my self. I was only 12 years old on my way to see my Omi and Opi :) It is such a great state because I love some good southern hospitality!
Nashville, Tennessee home to the honky tonk tunes, southern food, and of course those good southern feels! I have been to Tennessee quite a few times to visit my Omi and Opi, and usually our trips to Nashville include a great lunch and a trip to Opry Mills Mall. But this time I got a chance to explore the city!
This Christmas my family broke tradition of spending Christmas in Colorado and we went to Tennessee! Ever sense I was born, minus maybe two years, we have hosted the family Christmas at my house. With my Omi and Opi getting older, and hating airport security, we decided to give them a year off and fly to them!
There is so much to see and do in Tennessee from eating all the delicious southern food or dancing to the country music a lot of people don't realize it is also home to a full size replica of the ancient Greece Parthenon! It is so beautiful and so cool to bask in its massiveness!
Nashville is known for many things, Hot Chicken, Country Music, even the Parthenon! When it comes to Nashville, Tennessee, I bet you don’t think of bright walls and stunning murals all over the city, but in fact Music City has some of the most murals in the south! So grab those cowboy boots and a camera and get ready to see some of the best street art in Tennessee!
