so for part of spring break {yes, i said spring break!} we took a little trip to the music city. despite the dreary weather, it was perfect. let me tell ya, you need to go to nashville. and if you have already been, you need to go again. it is now on my "favorite cities" list. i also added a local nashville restaurant to my "i daydream about that dish" list. huge deal, i know. okay so where did we eat?? the meal that is now on the list was at prime 108, a swanky spot in the old union station, now hotel. it is definitely pricey, but thanks to groupon, we got a deal. i had the lobster ravioli and it was out-of-this-world good. i'm talking huge ravioli stuffed with lobster swimming in this amazing sauce with huge lobster claws on the side. wow.
for a snack one day, we stopped by mike's ice cream shop and i tried the red velvet cake ice cream. need is say more?? i read about this ice cream in a rachel ray magazine and it did not disappoint. it had chunks of cake and cream cheese icing and it was so yummy.
for breakfast one day we went to the pfunky griddle where you get to make your own pancakes at your table! it is such a cool place and the 5 grain mix made wonderful, hearty pancakes.
we also went to the most secretive bar i have ever been to, the patterson house. it resembled an old speak easy and it felt like we were in a movie or a dream it was that cool. if you can find it, you definitely need to go!
besides eating our way through nashville, we did lots of sight seeing and soaked up all that the music city had to offer.
we also got to spend time with our dear friend kirkley! she was so kind to give us a tour of gorgeous vanderbuilt and centennial park. we had such a wonderful visit!!
nashville, i love you. and i miss you.

Kathryn, you are like the ultimate traveler. I feel like I go to so many places and do not know what to do once I am there. I am so proud of your pre travels research and going to so many cool places. I have been to Nashville probably 50 times in my life and have never even heard of the places you talked about. I feel like I need to go back and experience the city the right way! You look so gorgeous with your long hair! Miss you!
jenny! you are too sweet! if i could just travel, eat, and blog about everything, that would be a dream job! we had so much fun planning the trip and eating our way through nashville! you definitely need to go back..there is so many great restaurants, we needed a week to eat at all of them!
