Travels

Coming back home from an amazing weekend away (this time DC) can sometimes feel like a let-down. Going back to reality - especially when that reality means living at home - requires an adjustment to regular routines and responsibilities. That first day back can be a little rough.

What makes days like these significantly easier, however, is discovering amazing flight sales to my first love - Nashville, TN. After a last-minute gChat discussion with Caitlin, I decided to jump on the insanely low fare (non-stop and all!) and will be flying down October 23rd to see Caitlin. Not only did I promise her I'd be visiting this fall, but we also determined yesterday that we've been friends 15 years. I won't lie, it gives me the warm fuzzies knowing that 50 years from now we'll be old and grumpy together and will actually be able to say that we've been best friends since 4th grade. Clearly a visit to celebrate our anniversary is in order, and clearly I can't talk about visiting Nashville without quoting my favorite musical Nashville reference. No, it's not Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA" (what is a Nashville party?!).

It's Nappy Roots' "Aw Naw" (can you catch the reference?):



I'm going to go ahead and make the bold statement that I like Nappy Roots better than Luda when it comes to Southern rappers.

I'm getting sidetracked. Nashville last time was ridiculous - roadtrips, Britney, very little sleep, and slapping people all played integral roles throughout the weekend. I anticipate this next trip to hopefully involve less slapping, equally little amounts of sleep, and lots of impromptu dance parties. 3 weeks.
