Nashville, Atlanta and COLUMBIA SC!

So again I am guilty of enjoying the 90 degree weather, the Olympics!!!! sweating by the pool (first burn of the year) and moving everything I own to one city for the first time since high school. But I need to keep this glorious trip documented so I wont forget everything! SO after we left Memphis and Graceland we headed to Nashville. I had never been but Kip loved Nashville the last time he visited, I have to say it might have been one of my favorite cities and we had such a blast.

The shortest drive of the trip! haha only around 3 hrs!

Yay Nashville!

We headed out to check out the Country Music Hall of Fame which was right down the road! Then we headed downtown! Such a blast!

Country Music Hall of Fame! so excited to finally go!

Perfect timing....yay Tswift!

After leaving the museum we headed downtown to the bars!

An amazing idea but def too hot to actually do. But looked crazy fun!

Horrible picture but I did get my new cowboy boots, buy 1 get 2 free! (Kip got a pair too!)

Finally we went to the downtown piano bar, Big Bang, so much fun and such a great way to spend a night out!

Singing a Ben Folds mash-up after my request!

She was celebrating beating breast cancer! Awesome and they were having such a good time!

This security guy loves his job and the women love him!

Oh hey South Carolina!

Having a little fun, Kip wasn't too happy since he had to go on base the next day.....whoops.

Almost home!

Finally pulling into Columbia, SC!

We Made IT!!! After 2 weeks of driving across Canada and the USA we made it to Columbia, SC alive. We had the best time and really was a trip of a lifetime. Cant believe we are here and very close to moving into our new house. Has really been a blast hanging out with some of our best friends and my new puppy niece!

Stay cool kids, stay cool!!!

Walking in Memphis!

Soooo I'm guilty of slacking the last few days due to having such a blast in Tennessee and arriving back in South Carolina, but I def don't want to forget for of the best few days we had! So check out the ride to Memphis and Nashville! Yayyy so close to home!

Just passing through on the way to TN!

Yay finally made it to Memphis!

Hello Memphis!

Walkin' with my feet 10ft off of Beale...

Needed a big boy to cool off from the heat!

Things were a little dusty!

We decided to meet on of my friends from college and her parents and grab drinks and dinner. We first headed to the Peabody hotel. Its a famous hotel where they have the famous ducks but unfortunately we missed the parade of ducks but still went to grab a quick drink.

After drinks we headed to one of the most famous places in Memphis to have BBQ ribs.... what else! So good and so happy they were able to show us around their city! So much fun!

Had so much fun hanging out with on of my favs Kenni and her parents! Def a great time!

Nom Nom Nom so good!

Yummo so good!

We had the best time and got really excited for the next day, we planned to go to Graceland and then hit the road to Nashville! Check out the amazing time we had at Graceland.

Yayyy!

Ready to go! Headphones on! (actually a pretty awesome way to have a tour)

So many awards and gold records.... amazing!

Wedding outfits

The piano where Elvis played the day he died. In the racquetball building. Now housing more of his awards.

Amazing to see, and his outfits were out of this world!

We made our way to the grave site where Elvis and some of his family members have been moved to be on the grounds. Mostly for protection and to have a place for fans to gather. It was an amazing tour and we enjoyed it a lot more than we thought!

After leaving the mansion we headed back to the car and started heading out of town. Next stop Nashville after our shortest drive of the day. Check back for some updates on that adventure! And our last hotel stay (thank the lord!)
