Visit from friends!

Last weekend, our friends Tom and Victoria visited us from Baltimore. I went to grad school with Tom in Portland and Victoria was my running partner. They moved to Baltimore about a year and half ago and we've been lucky enough to go up to see them a couple of times. (Of particular note is our trip we took last Sept. up to DC.)
Anyways, we were excited to have Tom and Victoria for 3.5 whole days, as they arrived last Thursday night and flew out of town Sunday evening. Here are some highlights from the trip:


T and V brought along some awesome gifts with them- amongst them was a 6-er of Natty Boh and this adorable stuffed crab that Ev loves. T and V loved playing the put-crabby-on-your-head game with her.


On Friday, Brendon had to work, but I took us down to Lynchburg to tour the Jack Daniels Distillery. Here's a pic of V with our Tour Guide- such a great (and free!) thing to do when you come to town!

Post JD tour- Ev and Uncle Tom sport the cowboy hats!

Pic of the ladies at McCreary's in Franklin, Tn! 2-for-1 draught Guinness!

That very fine Guinness I just mentioned... garnished with a Shamrock!


We hired a babysitter for Saturday night and headed out on the town- had to snap a pic to document!

Enjoying a beer here at Corsair Artisan Distillery, as sadly, we weren't allowed to taste their spirits!

Cool outside area that we're hoping to check out as the weather warms.

Dinner at Southern Bred (our favorite meat and three restaurant) in East Nashville. Looks like a church hall inside, and the food is amazing as well as amazingly cheap- doesn't get much better.


You're downtown. It's 11pm. You must take a pic with the Elvis statue.

Yet another reason we love this guy.

Beer goggles, Elton John glasses... whatever you want to call them, they were awesome.
After this pic, we headed here to hear these guys. They were amazing. So much fun.

We had SUCH a good time with our friends. We miss them so, but are thankful for the kind of friendship that just picks up where it left off. We can't wait to see them again soon!

  2. Looks like an absolute blast. I too am jealous! I must say that I particularly love the guide at Jack Daniels. Think he is playing a part or he is like that/dresses like that in his free time? ;-)
