Nashville/Kentucky Trip

Over Ross's spring break we decided to go to nashville for the weekend. It was really fun. We stayed in Nashville for a night and then off to Kentucky. In Nashville we went to go on a tour through the Grand Ole Opry but when we got there we had missed the ten o'clock tour by 15 min and the next one wasn't tell four. It was kinda a bummer but we looked at the prices to go and see a concert there and they were only ten dollars more then the tour so we decided to go to the concert! The concert was a blast, there was nine plus people that sang. I only went to see Carrie Underwood but realized that I knew Blake Shelton and a couple other people. The nice thing the Opy does is let you go up to the stage when people are singing and take pictures no matter where your seat are. Jackson did really well during the concert. He got a little fussy cause it was hot and he HATES being hot and it was late. "He now loves Carrie Underwood. I turn her on and he whips his head around and starts smiling! I love it!"
While we waited for the concert to start we went and saw the replica of the Parthenon! It was huge and really cool to see! We also went to Andrew Jacksons house. It was really windy and Jackson needed to take a nap so Ross and I didn't go on the tour. We let Jackson sleep in the car while the others went on the tour.
After the concert we drove to Bowling Green Kentucky. While we were there we went to the Mammoth caves. There were so many of them and they were huge. Jackson needed to eat so we left late and when we got to the caves the tour everyone was going on was sold out haha I know it was awesome! But it turned out to be for the best cause Jackson got to take a nap and they said inside the cave it got smaller and it would have been hard to hold Jackson and go through. But all in all the whole trip was really fun!

The pictures uploaded backwards. So it starts from the end of our trip to the first!

This was inside the mexican restaurant we saw on the way home from the caves.

Matt and Lauren trying to get a picture of Jackson opening his mouth. The whole trip he would open his mouth when someone would look and him and open theirs.
