Tennessee Exploring

Ragnar is so great and is letting me work from home for the summer, so I can be out here with Jeremy. Because of that, Jeremy and I usually go explore every night because I just want to get out of the house. It's been really fun, and we've seen a lot of cool places. One of the first places that we went was to the Country Music Hall of Fame.

We've found some fantastic barbecue restaurants here (go figure), but I must say that the bread and potatoes (my favorite) are much better in Utah/Idaho. They have a Nashville temple in Franklin which is about 20 minutes away. It's a very small temple, and built in the parking lot of a Stake Center. We've went downtown twice to explore. It's a pretty cool night life, and has some awesome restaurants!

Also, we live incredibly close to Long Hunter State Park. It has awesome views of Percy Priest Lake and of fireflies. We both love water and could stare at it for hours! There are tons of deer in the park because it's been a State Park for 40+ years, so deer have just migrated there.

Last week, Jeremy and I went up to Chattanooga, TN to hang out with my best friend Tam. She's living there for 6 weeks for an internship, which is perfect! It was about 2 hours away and was such a pretty drive! We went and had lunch and ice cream, then hung out around the lake. That night, we went to the River Bend concert to watch Martina McBride. Tam was super sweet and gave us tickets to use that her work gave her.
