My Nashville, Tennessee Trip



Nashville, the vibrant city of music, greeted us with open arms as we arrived on a sunny Friday morning. Eager to begin our adventure, we made our way to the whimsical AirBnB called "Dolly's Dream." They said to prepare to climb a flight of stairs, but the moment we stepped inside, we knew it was worth it. This four-level abode with a rooftop oasis was a dream come true.


Every nook and cranny was meticulously decorated in a delightful blush pink, reminiscent of the enchanting hues in my favorite film, "Pretty Woman." Murals of the legendary Dolly Parton adorned the walls, while pink guitars added a touch of musical charm. I couldn't help but feel like I had ascended to paradise.



With our hearts brimming with excitement, we embarked on a journey to the famed Broadway street, where delectable cuisine and captivating shops awaited us. The lively atmosphere engulfed us as we explored the bustling streets.



As the sun began to set, we found ourselves drawn back to Broadway. Our first stop was Kid Rock's bar, a popular hotspot that buzzed with energy. Little did we know, the city was abuzz with the CMA fest, attracting a multitude of enthusiastic fans. Undeterred by the crowds, we ventured to several rooftop bars, each packed to the brim. It felt like a grand Texan fiesta, reminiscent of the lively 6th street but amplified to a whole new level. Among the myriad of options, Miranda Lambert's bar stole my heart. The soulful tunes, reminiscent of the intimate venues portrayed in the television show "Nashville," transported me to a musical wonderland, far from the trappings of the 90s rap beats that pervaded the airwaves.


Saturday dawned with anticipation, and we indulged in a delightful brunch at L.A. Jackson's rooftop bar. The menu was a culinary masterpiece, leaving us smitten with each delectable bite. I savored an overhang burger paired with a towering vodka concoction that offered a taste of pure bliss. We strolled through the area, delighting in the sights and sounds, and couldn't resist stepping into Jessie James Decker's charming boutique.


Our next destination was the country music museum, where we immersed ourselves in the rich history and timeless melodies that define Nashville. From there, we discovered that our friend Coffey was performing at Alan Jackson's bar, and we hurried to catch his heartfelt performance. Coffey's authenticity and genuine passion for music resonated deeply, leaving us in awe of his talent.



As nightfall descended upon the city, we were drawn to the lively Whiskey Shot Piano Bar on Bourbon Street. Once inside, we were captivated by the astounding musical prowess of the performers. Andy had always dreamt of taking me to such a place, and this night became an unforgettable reality. With eager anticipation, I requested a song by Eminem, only to be met with a mischievous smile from the pianist. "I can play that one, but I have something even better," he proclaimed. Curiosity piqued, and I nodded in agreement. To my delight, he unleashed a flawless rendition of "Forgot About Dre," leaving the crowd in awe. The night unfolded with one musical marvel after another, and we found ourselves entranced until the final note.



Bright and early on Sunday morning, we bid farewell to Nashville, carrying a treasure trove of memories in our hearts. However, fate had other plans, as we encountered a frustrating delay at the airport. Yet, even amidst the challenges, the joy and adventure brought new memories that will be unforgettable!
