Why is Jacob worn out???

Because we went to Nashville this week!

We left on Tuesday and got back on Friday. 

Whew. 

He's tired because ...

1)  there's a one-hour time difference & I'm learning kids don't quite adjust to this like adults do

2) the plane ride (traveling wears everyone out, right?!?  still not sure why cuz how do you get tired from just sitting there on your rear... anyways...)

3)  he wasn't sleeping in his own bed... there's nothing like your own bed.

4)  his mom drug him all over creation during the day while we were cruising in our MINIVAN...yup.  We named her Myrtle the Mini in case you were wondering. 

I admit, I miss Myrtle. 

5) He saw a ton of lights & objects flashing before him over and over because we stayed on the TOP floor of the hotel so he saw 25 stories flash before his eyes in the elevator with glass walls, numerous times each day.

And even though he's tired... ok, we're all 3 tired, he would tell you that we had an awesome trip (if he could talk, minor detail).    We drove around Franklin and Hendersonville.  We got all decked in our bathing suits & checked out the hotel pool.  We ate at Pancake Pantry, our FAVORITE.  They seriously make the best pancakes I've ever eaten.  We hungout with James & Callie & the girls.  All super fun things!  

This is downtown Franklin.  It's adorable!

This was our view from our hotel room at the Renaissance Hotel downtown.

Jacob loved checking himself out in the mirror.

This was the first time I've noticed that he could recognize that he was looking at himself.

All geared up for the pool  :)

Practicing that freestyle kick on the bed.

We made it home safe & sound... after missing our flight on Friday (ha!)... but we're back and starting to feel rested and back to normal.
