WEEKEND RECAP

We had such a fun weekend in Nashville the last couple of days.  My mom purchased tickets for my sisters and I to see the US women's soccer team play in the SheBelieves Cup at Titans Stadium.  So we made a weekend of it, just us girls. 

 

The weather was beautiful.  When we first arrived on Saturday afternoon we met friends for dinner at The Chop House, which was amazing by the way.  Later that night Courtney and Mom went to the Blake Shelton concert while Everly and I hung out in the hotel room.  We jumped on the beds, rode the elevator up and down several times, charged some snacks to the room (thanks Nana) and watched Elmo until way past our bedtime. 

The next morning Everly decided to sleep in until 9:00?! I finally decided to wake the child up before we missed the hotel breakfast! What a treat that was.  After checking out of the hotel we went exploring downtown and of course made the necessary stop at Opry Mills mall.  The highlight of the trip, next to the soccer game of course, was definitely Sprinkles.  They have this adorable cupcake ATM you can order from right outside their bakery.  Since my birthday is this week Mom treated us to a dozen of the most delicious birthday cupcakes.  Score!

Everly didn't care much for the cupcakes.  She preferred the chocolate dots that topped all of them, which was fine by me.  We made a great cupcake eating team. 

It was unexpectedly hot at the game.  We all showed up in pants and sweatshirts and were sweating within 20 minutes of the start of the match.  Unfortunately for the rest of us, it wasn't socially acceptable to take our pants off to cool down.

It was a great game to watch though.  USA ended up winning 1-0 with a last second goal by Alex Morgan during stoppage time.  We also heard it was a record crowd of over 25,000 people.  The atmosphere was incredible.  And Everly was so well behaved the entire weekend which made it extra nice.

 

Thanks to Nana for such a fun weekend! I definitely want to go back again and see the rest of what Nashville has to offer. Maybe tour the backstage of the Grand Ole Opry! We have the Monday blues for sure over here.  I hope you all have a great work week!
