Last weekend, we got away with our friends Ben and Louise and did some Nashville and Franklin exploring. I was pretty impressed with Billie... he planned the entire weekend. :) Talk about a girl's love language... a man with a plan!
All ideas came from this list of "30 things you need to know about Nashville..."

1st stop: Village Pub & Beer Garden

Dessert: Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream
Whole ingredients, milk from grass-fed cows, and amazing, unique flavors!

Nighttime entertainment: "Music in the Vines" at
Little fun fact for you country music fans: Arrington is owned by Kix Brooks! Complementary wine tastings (if you can get your name on the list soon enough), free event, just bring your own food!
I would go again for the scenery alone.

| Our picnic from Whole Foods: fruit, cheese, prosciutto, hummus, pita chips, and dark chocolate |
Next stop: Merridee's Breadbasket in downtown Franklin
One of my best friends, Catherine, worked here in high school. She and I have day dreamed about opening our own coffee shop/bakery one day. So I had to stop here!
Saturday morning breakfast: Pfunky Griddle
Make your own pancakes! (Or omelets)
This litle gem was in the middle of a residential area.
Every table has it's own griddle, and pancake batter is unlimited!
They recommend to arrive before 8:30 on weekends if you don't want to wait.

After breakfast:
Parthenon replica in Centennial park across from Vanderbilt!
Outdoor lunch at Mafiaoza's.
Awesome pizza. Located on 12th ave.
And a coffee at Frothy Monkey before hitting the road!
Such a great weekend!
The more time I spend in Nashville, the more I love it.
