Nashville Trip Review

Hey, y’all! Happy Monday! I hope that you guys are having a great week. So, I sorta took last week off, it was unintentional. Last Sunday, I left for Nashville. We stopped in Atlanta for a Braves game. (SO FUN!!)

My friends and I were in Nashville from Sunday to Wednesday. Today, I’ll be sharing pictures from our trip! It’s basically a big photo dump from Nashville.

First, I did want to share the link to the Airbnb that we stayed at! I loved it. It was in East Nashville and was very clean! It was perfect for me and my friends. Click here to check it out.

Like I said earlier, we started out by stopping in ATL and watching the Braves play! It was so much fun, hopefully I’ll be going back soon! We left Atlanta and headed to Nashvile. Once we got into the city, we didn’t do much else. Except make a Target run lol. The next morning we ventured out for breakfast before heading to the museums. We went to Sky Blue Cafe which is in Edgefield. They had delicious coffee and breakfast. (I had already dug into my breakfast when I decided to take a picture hahah!)

After breakfast, we headed downtown to check out some museums. I took so many pictures in the Country Music Hall of Fame. I promise I won’t bombard you with them all. But, I will share this mural that was in the Hall of Fame. It was so precious, and who doesn’t love Dolly Parton?!

For lunch we headed to Miranda Lambert’s restaurant on Broadway. It’s called Casa Rosa and it’s a Tex-Mex place. The vibes were amazing! It was so cute and the food was delicious!

After lunch, the girls and I headed to the Johnny Cash Museum. I’m not gonna lie that was probably my favorite part! I love Johnny Cash and seeing all his memorabilia was amazing!

That was really all we did on Monday. We were tired after a full day, so we hung out at the airbnb on Monday night and ate Shake Shack.

Tuesday morning we headed to the Gulch and ate brunch before our hair appointment at The Dry House. We ate at Milk and Honey and it was delicious! I had a waffle and I’m still thinking about it hahah!

Once we finished in the Gulch, we headed to Green Hills for our hair appointment. I enjoyed getting my hair done, it was a nice treat! After that, we went over to 12 South, to do some mural hunting and shopping!

Tuesday night we had reservations at White Limozeen which is Dolly Parton’s bar. It was literally like something out of a dream for me. The aesthetic was everything! If you’re heading to Nashville you have to go! And be sure to make reservations!

After White Limozeen we headed downtown to hear live music. I think my favorite place place was Blake Shelton’s bar, Old Red.

Wednesday was our last day. We headed to The Frothy Monkey for breakfast in 12 South. It was so so good! Their coffee was also great!

Before we left Nashville, we went to Centennial Park. It was gorgeous and if I lived in Nashville I would go there all the time. It was so peaceful! The last thing we did before leaving, was go to The Mall at Green Hills. It had a lot of great stores like Nordstrom and Zara.

Thank you so much for reading today’s post! I hope that you enjoy!!

Nashville Travel Guide

I’ve been to Nashville a couple different times but I’ve yet to post a travel guide. So that’s what I’m doing today! So if you’re interested in going to Nashville or are planning a trip keep reading!!

Where to Stay 
Okay, so the past two times that I’ve visited Nashville I’ve stayed in the same area. I’ve stayed in two different hotels in the Opry Mills area. This area is great, there are restaurants to eat at, plus there’s a mall that’s only 5 minutes from most of the hotels. The two other big attractions in this are the Grand Ole Opry and Opryland hotel. Being 5 minutes from these two major attractions is ideal! 
I’ve enjoyed staying in that area, however, I would like to try a couple of different areas. I’ve heard good things about the 12 South area and also the Greenhills area. There are tons of things to do in those two areas, as well as hotels and Airbnb’s to stay in! 
What to Do
There are literally SO many things to do in Nashville. There is music everywhere and countless bars to hear live music. The Country Music Hall of Fame is so cool, there are tons of cool memorabilia from country singers as well as other singers like Elvis Presley. I think the Museum is more than worth it. There are like three stories and so many things to see!

There are so many places to hear live music in Nashville! If you walk down Broadway you’ll find tons of Honky Tonks to stop by. If you go during hockey season you could catch a Predators game at Bridgestone Arena. Nashville also has a minor league baseball team and an NFL team!

If you like country music, you definitely need to go to a show at the Grand Ole Opry. It is such a cool experience! Plus it’s a small auditorium so every seat is good!

If you’re in the mood to shop, that is also something you can do in Nashville!

There is a mall in Green Hills, and in 12 South there are a ton of other places. 12 South is home to one of my favorite shops, Draper James!

Where to Eat
My favorite place to eat in Nashville is Hattie B’s. Their food is delicious and the one that I ate at was located right in front of Taylor Swift’s apartment building so that was pretty cool! I also ate at Elliston Place Soda Shop! A few days ago Reese Witherspoon actually posted that she has been there before!

I have heard great things about The Pancake Pantry, however, I’ve never been there. But if all the hype that I’ve heard is true, it’s a great place to eat!

Well, I hope this is helpful! I really hope that I get to head back to Nashville soon. It’s honestly one of my favorites places to travel to. If you ever go to Nashville please let me know! I’d love to hear about your trip!
Thanks for reading!
