Out on the town

A couple of weeks ago my parents came to Nashville for the first time! We tried not to wear them out too much. I think they had a good time :)

This ol' fella welcomed them to downtown Nashville.

We got to go to The Hermitage--President Andrew Jackson's home. This is the back of the mansion house.

This is my mom and dad outside the front of the house. There is some renovation going on right now.
This was the original house until he decided he needed to have a more "presidential" residence.

We took them to see the Nashville temple.

Apparently I looked pretty good in this blue cowboy hat. (I don't see it.)

We had tickets to see the Grand Ole Opry, but the week before the Opry house flooded. So instead they did the show at the original Opry house--The Ryman.

It was a fun show and we got to see Alan Jackson!!!

Downtown Nashville on Broadway and of course, the telltale sign you are in Nashville--the Batman building.

We went to Portland, TN and bought some fresh picked strawberries and made a strawberry pie. Delicious!!

We had a great time mom and dad! Come back soon :)

Hey Lisa! I was going to email you but for some reason I can't find your address! Anyway, we are going to be in TN next week and I was wondering if we could meet up for lunch or dinner or something? I know we are planning on doing a session in the temple, I'm just not sure which day. You can email me at dianemarieboyce@hotmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Looks fun. I wish I could have met them. That pie looks REALLY great.
