A Much Needed Break!

Last week Josh had his first day off sense we have been out here.  (He always has Sunday off but works Monday through Saturday the rest of the week.)  We decided to take full advantage of the two day weekend and we went to Nashville.  Lucky for us it happened to be Country Music Fest.  We bought some last minute tickets that happened to be pretty good seats and found our way to the L.P. field in Nashville with help from our GPS.  The concert was star filled with performances from Jack Inram, Heidi Newfield, Montgomery Gentry, Miranda Lambert, John Rich, Taylor Swift, Sugar Land, and Kenny Chesney.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  The funny thing about concerts are they can make or break an artist for you.  Seeing some of the artist live are completely different from just listening to them on the radio.  We ended up loving all of the artist more as we left except for one, Taylor Swift.  Now don't get me wrong I love Taylor's music but it is a good thing that I don't have to watch her flip her hair fifty million times while she sings her songs.  I think she has been taking too many lessons from Miley Cyrus.  Apart from Taylor, who is more suited for a teenaged crowd, we loved all the other performers.  The concert was really long and after being there for over five hours we decided we had enjoyed ourselves enough and left early to avoid driving home with all the drunk people.  We spent the night at one of our friends homes and left for Memphis the next day after stopping at some of Josh's favorite places in Nashville.   It was my first time visiting Nashville and I loved it. 

   

We ended the weekend by going to a Memphis RedBirds game with a bunch of friends.  My favorite part of baseball games is always during the seventh inning stretch were the crowd sings "Take Me Out to The Ball Game".  I always sing it at the top of my lungs and I was really embarrassed when I saw Josh out of the corner of my eye video taping me.  It was a great weekend and it was fun for Josh to do something other than work.
