{Girls Trip} - Christmas 2024 - Nutcracker Ballet in Nashville, TN - Day 3

  LAST DAY = BEST DAY

We woke up, packed up, and got ready for the main event...

grabbing brunch downtown at Church & Union (the girls and I just ate at the one in Charleston a couple of months ago)...

It was the perfect start to our day...

We had a bit of time to kill, so from there we made a quick stop at the Tennessee State Capitol...

This was B's 30th set of state capitol building steps that he ran with his sisters back in 2015...

{Nashville, TN ~ October, 2015}

The girls ran them for old time's sake ~ cowboy boots add another dimension to the challenge!

Finally, we headed over to the Tennessee Performing Arts Center for the show!

After the performance, we grabbed a late lunch/early dinner at White Limozeen...

I so look forward to this special time with my girls each December...

Wonder where we'll end up next year?!?!? Until then...

{Girls Trip} - Christmas 2024 - Nutcracker Ballet in Nashville, TN - Day 2

This morning, we took some time to rest...

sleeping in and watching our Clemson Tigers basketball team play on TV. Sadly, they lost, BUT we got some good glimpses of both Hubby and B cheering them on!

I think the Tigers really missed us (and the students, too).

Once we got going, we headed over to one of our favorites, and a Nashville classic, Pancake Pantry...

AND, there was NO line!

L tried the holiday special, peppermint pancakes...

M had blueberry pancakes...

and I had my usual, sweet potato pancakes!

While in the Hillsboro Village neighborhood, we visited one of our favorite murals...

and did a little bit of shopping...

before heading over to the 12 South neighborhood to continue with our mural hopping...

We made our last stop in The Gulch neighborhood to finish up with a couple more fun murals...

before heading back to the hotel to rest up before dinner, back in The Gulch at Adele's...

Almost everything was shareable, and it was ALL delicious!

M got some blue coconut sorbet for dessert, and was gracious enough to share a bite with both L and me...

Another great day with my girls...

The main event is tomorrow!
