Nashville March 29-April 1

Whoa, what's that?  Two blog posts in one day?  Yes....I'm trying to get caught up.  Over spring break, in addition to taking the kids to the zoo, we also went on a family vacation to Nashville.
Chase the Cheetah, Ella's class pet got to go with us.  That was VERY SPECIAL to Ella.  
At Margaritaville, there was a GIANT pirate on stilts making balloon hats for everyone.  Of course, this terrified Ella.....

...until he bribed her with a balloon hat of her own.  

Terrifying moments for Mommy & Ella:  Flat tire @ 1 AM, the road is deserted and there is some bird screeching in a very eerie (or "spooky" as Ella said) way.  Here is us trying to make the best of the situation with Chase the Cheetah.  (He's sitting on our now useless tire.)

The TV show, American Pickers has a store, Antique Archaeology in Nashville.  This is us visiting the store  and the perfect photo op.  It was nerve-wracking in there though with two kids and super expensive, old, sometimes rusted, always fragile memorabilia!

We went to an aquarium restaurant at Nashville Mills Mall.  We did not eat there, but just toured around it.  Both kids loved it!
 
We actually ate lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.  Here, Chase the Cheetah is seated with the gorilla, who we sat by.






The pool at the hotel was a BIG HIT with both Ella and Eli.  The water was cold, so we didn't stay long, but they had so much fun splashing Mommy!

Wild Horse Saloon--possibly one of my favorite places in Nashville .  It was a family friendly bar (how is that possible?) that had line-dancing.  It was the best!  

Cupid Shuffle--one of Ella's favorite dances to begin with, but also fun to be dancing for a crowd with Mommy.  We got so many ooos and aaahhhs over her dancing with me.  The crowd loved her!
