Favorite U.S. Cities: Nashville

I hope that y’all loved our stop in San Diego last week on our tour of my favorite U.S. cities!  I know that I’m excited to check out the places Heather shared!  Today we’re heading east and stopping in Nashville!  Earlier this year I read Moment Maker by Carlos Whittaker and so when I decided to feature Nashville in this series I knew the Whittaker family was who I wanted to talk to…because y’all, they really embrace life and so I wanted to hear their recommendations of what to do/see in Nashville!  Here is Heather’s (Carlos’ wife) list of what to do in Nashville!

Start off in downtown Nashville…

– Hit the bars!  Before 4pm kids can even go in and see classic Nashville!

– The Shelby Walking Bridge has a great view of downtown

– The capitol building.  Even if you don’t take a tour, the building is well worth a quick picture.  Plus President Polk and his wife are buried there which I think is pretty cool.

– Stop by Crema Coffee and Pinewood Social, they are the “hip” spots downtown

When you head to the surrounding areas…

– Head to Franklin and walk around downtown Franklin

– See a classic movie at the Franklin Theatre

– Eat at Merridee’s in Franklin

– If you’ve driven to Franklin, commit and head out to Leipers Fork and enjoy an evening at the original Puckets where you’ll find deep down Nashville

– Then take Highway 96 to the Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge

– Finally, head to Loveless Café.  Order their fried green tomatoes, hash-brown casserole, cream corn and biscuits.  YUM!

I absolutely love visiting Nashville and can’t wait to go back!  What is your favorite thing to do in Nashville?
