A few Saturdays ago we set sail (or car) for a whirlwind 24 super fun time in Tennessee (on our way to our Sunday destination, KY)
First, we stopped in Pulaski, TN. Home of the
Old Graveyard Memorial Park. It's a place Husband and I found by accident on a day we were adventuring. While there, we found Daughter's name ... even though we didn't even know she was a daughter yet. It was a week before our gender ultrasound/anatomy scan. Sigh, poor girl. She came pretty close to being name Voltaire. ;-)
Next we stopped by
Adventure Science Center in Nashville. Thanks to our McWane membership we enjoyed free admissions. The kids played and played for about two hours. We were really impressed. It was fantastic.
Our final stop was our hotel. We stayed at the Opryland Hotel. Swimming, Dinner, an indoor boat ride, we did it all before crashing in our room.

| Posing by her name. I love how Son's head is randomly in my elbow crook! |
 |
| The park was also a great place for the kids to get out and run off some energy. |
 |
| This is the first of MANY turkey statues we stopped to take pictures with. Pulaski = the wild turkey capital of the world. |

lifeguard
 |
| the indoor pool, the outdoor pool, the kiddie pool. We went back and forth for two hours. Fun was had by all. |
 |
| Son was shocked and angered when he learned he had to share his queen sized bed. He was able to sneak in a little rest before we headed back out for dinner. |
 |
| I love that this kid loves having her picture made with statues. |
 |
| boarding our boat ride in the Delta. She told the tour guide she was looking for land. |
 |
| fantastic view of the delta |
 |
| One of Daughter's favorite things to do is ride escalators up and down. again and again. We obliged. Son and Husband took a sit down break after about the 17th trip. |
 |
| We stopped to watch the fountain show on our way back to our room. |
It was a super fun day. Made even better by the kids' amazement of all the fun they were getting to have ... next stop, KENTUCKY.

Looks like ya'll had such a great time in TN! I had no idea about the wild turkey capital- we'll have to check that out!
We have been wanting to take Lauren to that museum in Nashville for a while now. Hopefully this summer we'll get a chance!
Glad the kiddos had fun and glad R's name isn't voltaire. :)
