Do you ever get a vacation hangover? I got back from Nashville Sunday afternoon and felt like I should have taken off on Monday. To relive the fun, I thought I would share a few details.

| Past Perfect |
Beyond the amazing live music, Nashville has some pretty tasty food. We stopped by Puckett’s Grocery for southern food and breakfast (yes, we went twice). And slightly off the beaten path of Broadway is Past Perfect. We went there for lunch before all the CMA festivities…a-mazing! I had a lavender mojito and the grilled ahi tuna wrap. If it was later in the day, I would have sampled a classic cocktail made from one of their many infused vodkas. Guess I’ll just have to go back ;)
It seemed like every other storefront on Broadway was a boot shop. And the other 50% were honky tonks. If you’re looking for boots, make sure you shop around before buying. One store was offering buy 1 pair, get 2 pairs free! Plus, check the label for where the boots are made (avoid China) and to see that they’re made of real leather. For other tips, here’s a good post on how to buy cowboy boots.
I knew that Nashville was sometimes call Nashvegas, but didn’t quite get it until I saw all the neon signs. It definitely reminds me of classic Las Vegas!
Of course, I can’t forget the music! Even though I didn’t recognize some of the artists’ names, I recognized their songs or just sat back and enjoyed the tunes. Luke Bryan was definitely the favorite of our group and Carrie Underwood also put on a great performance.
And to prove that I was there, that’s me with the bachelorette. And my favorite orange maxi dress :)
Awesome! I wish I could have met you while you were here! My name is Jodi and we talked in an e-mail via Ryan (Past Perfect). I am actually standing in the background of one of your pics! hahahaha! I love Nashville!
