Hooky

After a long weekend celebrating and dealing with the stomach bug, Avery was still puny on Monday. I let her stay home from school. We were running some errands that morning and one of the kids mentioned they wanted a Pongo stuffed animal to go with the Perdita we have. That gave me an idea...let's go to the Disney Store in Nashville! We quickly finished our errands and headed toward Music City.

I have been dying to go to Marcy Jo's Mealhouse near Columbia for months! It's only open Thursday-Saturday, but we got off the interstate to find it anyway. It is the cutest, smallest little restaurant ever! We looked like major tourists, but I had to get pictures!


Even more excited to go now that we've seen it! We got back on the interstate and made our way to the Opry Mills Mall. As we were trying to find the Disney Store, we passed the carousel and took a little ride. I always forget they make me sick until it's too late. Oh, well...the kids liked it.
 
We found our store, and lucky me...their stuffed animals were buy one get one for $1! They didn't quite have what we were looking for. Avery got Lucky from 101 Dalmatians and Colt got Pluto. We left there and I lost my mind in Boot Barn. I have been wanting to get the kids some cowboy boots. Well, once you are there and the kids are with you, you can't leave empty handed. So I paid a ridiculous amount of money for some boots for the kids. YOLO, right?!
 
Here's our loot outside our favorite spot, Rocket Fizz. Had to end the day with some sugar.
 
This made my day. Rocket Fizz is across the street from a parking lot that costs like $11. I found this spot on the road, and only paid a couple quarters! And we got to see the stadium where the Titans play! Now that Derrick Henry is playing here, we gotta go!!
 
 

And one last stop on our way home. Just down the road from Marcy Jo's is Joey and Rory's house. Sorry, Rory, for being a little stalkerish and driving by your house three times very slowly taking pictures. At least we didn't go knock on their door like Avery wanted to do.
 
What a fun, spontaneous day we had! I love living near new places to explore, and I can't wait to take advantage of this come summer!! Sorry, Daniel, our gasoline bill is about to go up!!
