Fall Break

The day after Bry's big party we packed up and went to Nashville for Fall break. Bailey rode with Gabby and we met up once we got to Nashville so that Bay and Haley could get in our car. Haley spent the first night of our vacation with us. Bay LOVED that.
Anyway, the first night we went to the Rainforest Cafe. The kids loved the fish and all of the animals at the restaurant. I thought they might get scared when the "thunder" started but they did great.
The next day we went to the Adventure Science Museum. We've been there before but the babies were really small so it was a totally new experience for them. Bay loved it just as much as the first time we went. It is probably the best Children's museum that we've been to. After that we went to the Opry Mills mall and shopped for a while and ate way too much! We love that mall. The kids rode the carousel several times and we watched the stingrays at the Aquarium. Gabby invited us over for dinner that night. It was fun getting to hang out with her and her fam. We don't get to do that enough! Bay was sad to say goodbye to Haley so Bry took her swimming when we got back to the hotel. We went swimming every night we were there but that night it was just her and Daddy (which she loved!)

(Luke loved the huge slide. So did I.)
(Haley being silly at the dinosaur exhibit.)
(Bay at the Space exhibit. She got to see what it was like to be weightless like an astronaut.)
The next day we took a lunch cruise on the General Jackson Riverboat. We had seats right in front of the stage. First they served us a yummy lunch and delicious dessert and then we got to watch a performance by the Peking Acrobats. They were awesome. The kids were in awe of the whole show! We spent the rest of the afternoon shopping and swimming and yes, eating!

It was a really great trip. Actually quite calm for us. Well, unless you count when Presley got her big head stuck in the gate around the carousel at the mall...
