Nashville Bachelorette

Our friends, Bente and Judd, are getting married in June and I was SO excited when Bente told me she was having her bachelorette party in Nashville.  Nashville was on my list of cities to get to, I missed this girl and I was in need of a girls' weekend so it was an easy decision to go.  There were nine of us total - Bente, her three sisters, three high school friends, one college friend, and me - and everyone was so fun!

My flight arrived in Nashville one minute before Bente's on Friday afternoon so we grabbed a drink at the airport while we waited for her sister.  After picking up food and drinks and getting ready, we had apps, gifts and games before going out to dinner.

Roomies for the weekend

We had a great dinner at The Southern and then made our way to Broadway and spent the rest of the night at The Stage.

Great live music!  We started out up top but ended up right in front of the stage.

Bente rocked the stage - these are my favorite pics

Saturday morning started out with brunch at The Stone Fox and then we bar hopped.  It was such a gorgeous day!

The whole gang

We met the 'real' Elvis!

We ended the night with pizza at the hotel and flew home Sunday late morning.  What a wonderful weekend! 

I stole this picture from Kim's instagram :)

A few weekends ago, Tyler and I made the long drive to Atlanta to visit one of our best friends, Sara, and her bf Jasper, who was also in town.  We left Friday after work and returned Sunday night.  The drive was long (just short of 7 hrs both ways) but totally worth it.  I think for our next visit we are going to pick somewhere between to meet.  We arrived around 12:15 am and stayed up another hour or so catching up.  Sara rents a house in a really nice neighborhood with four other ladies.  Sat. morning Jasper prepared us a traditional German breakfast.  We had eggs with onions and peppers, cheese, meat, rolls, salmon, nutella, and mimosas.  So good!  After we made our way to some parks and checked out the festivals that were going on.  We made our way down the beltline and relaxed and people watched at Piedmont park.

Jasper recently bought a skate board so we all had some fun with it.

The weather was so nice. Way hotter than expected and Tyler and I got our first sunburns of the season.  That night, Sara brought us to a cute neighborhood where we grabbed dinner at a Mexican restaurant, Pure.  Sara's roommates all hosted a party at their place to celebrate some birthdays.  It was great to meet some of Sara's coworkers and Jasper taught us a German drinking game ;)

All my pictures were blurry from the night

Sunday morning we went out for brunch at West Egg Cafe.  The place was crazy busy so we put our name in and then went for coffee elsewhere beforehand.  After, we had to try the famous Jeni's ice cream. Yum.

We always have such a great time with these two.  They are fun, up for anything and we always have the best conversations.  We committed to a 2015 Berlin trip so we have a lot to look forward to!
