4th Time

We are heading to the lake for the 4th time this year. This will be Teagan's 5th trip to Pelican Lake! We are heading up for a very special weekend to celebrate the wedding of Jen and James! We can't wait for the festivities and to toast to these two at their favorite place.

Road Trippin -

Girls Trip 2012: Nashville!

I am just returning from our annual Girls Trip I take every year with my 3 friends - Michele, Karly and Christy.  It became a tradition when we decided to get grown up and move out on our own.  This year's destination city was Nashville, TN!  I have always enjoyed country music but it has worked it's way into my repertoire in the last 5 years or so.  I was pretty stoked to check out this southern city that is known for it's music roots.  Nashville certainly did not disappoint!  We saw A TON of live bands up and down Broadway Street.  It was amazing they played any time of day and most of them are living out of the tip bucket.

We didn't get too touristy this time around because we were all there to catch-up, relax and unwind and just enjoy our time together.  We did do a Segway tour through the city which was a great time.  I had never been on a Segway but the technology behind the gyroscopic, self-balancing device was incredible.  It was an effective way to see the city and learn a bit about the history of life on Nash-town!     It was great to all be together again as we continue to mature in our lives and careers.  It was tough to leave Teagan and Rick but I got to check-in via FaceTime and he assured me they had a fun daddy/daughter weekend.  At the end of the trip, I couldn't get home fast enough back to those 2 in my arms.  It certainly is all about the balance!
