NASHVILLE {PART 2}

We stopped and had lunch at the Acme Feed and Seed! I'm so glad we did. That place is amazing! Not just the food but the whole atmosphere! It has multiple floors that you can eat at. I really wanted to sit on the awesome vintage furniture but got overruled. So we opted for the roof. I couldn't complain that view is amazing. We could see everything! 

There was a lot of craziness because Kim Kardashian was in the area promoting some energy drink. We didn't think we would see her at all. But as we we were  headed to the Johnny Cash Museum her big mysterious black bus was parked right outside. Us ladies went inside to get our tickets and the guys ran outside trying to get a glimpse. Apparently they have never seen a "celebrity" before. They must have been something to see. One with a diaper bag and one holding the baby in the bjorn! I'm sure Kim Kardashian was saying how cute they were from her tinted windows. 

The Johnny Cash Museum was awesome! You could listen to a ton of his tracks in the different formats and watch live performances. They had a room set up to see all his movie clips and guest appearances. It's definitely a must see if you love music! 

We wondered off to take our family pictures after that on the Shelby Street bridge. Click link to check them out http://meadowsandreeds.blogspot.com/2015/07/family-pictures.html

When we met up for dinner we found ourselves at Five Points Pizza after asking some locals of a good place. It did not disappoint. Between the music, food and the atmosphere there I would probably move there tomorrow. While we were eating I noticed a guy who looked familiar to me. He was making faces at baby Caleb so a mom always notices that. But I also have a knack for spotting celebrities even if I don't know their name or can't remember what they are in. Luckily, my brother in law mentioned "Arrested Development" after I snuck a picture of him for reference so I had something to search for. Figured out it was Tony Hale and we have seen him in a ton of stuff. We started a conversation with him. Trying to play it cool as much as we can. It was pretty hilarious! 

There is never a dull moment on our family trips that's for sure! 

Until the next Vacation!

{gender reveal} Drumroll please.....

I know a lot of you have been waiting super patiently and I appreciate it. 

Thanks to one of our many screening tests we were able to find the sex out of the baby a lot earlier than expected. So we've kinda known for awhile.......We are finally letting the cat out of the bag!

Surprise!

Soooooo..........................

We've been keeping a SECRET!!

Our Fourth of July weekend

We actually had to do fireworks a day early because of the big hurricane on the 4th. Family came to visit just in time. We had a blast watching the fireworks in Lexington. It was bittersweet because it will be our last 4th of July in Massachusetts. We've had some good memories here as a family. 

As you can see Riley went a little crazy when her papa bought her an ice cream. You'd think the kid was deprived her whole life. She was even giving this evil laugh like I'm a cartoon. She might have the same addiction that has affected her daddy his whole life. An addiction to ice cream! 

The fireworks were a blast. My youngest niece and I were pretending to be in control of them with our magic powers. Had me laughing so hard! 

Stay tuned for more of our crazy weekend ! 

{Family Vacation} Part 2

Sorry that it has taken me so long to get this trip blogged. I finally had some time to get it done.

Our second day in Florida was all about Disneyworld! Knowing that Riley was only five and only interested in princesses. We made our plans to spend the whole time in the Magic Kingdom. One day still wasn't enough honestly. Last time I even went to Disneyland was about 9 years ago for grad night. That's a long time! {I feel old} I remembered they had the fast pass. Which is completely different now. You only get 3 or 4 rides or attractions for the entire day you can use it for. I wish it was for the whole park. Those lines are outrageous! Most of the time was spent in lines. I wish we could've done more. However, since Riley didn't know any better. She was in absolute bliss. She was so starstruck when she got to meet the princesses. Most importantly Ariel. She told me she was sooo nervous about meeting her. She's so sweet! I can't wait to tell her that when she's older. 

Our two favorite things of the day

{1} At Belle's interactive reading. They chose people to act out parts. They chose Riley to be the Beast! She was so excited and gave her best RRROOOOAARRRR. I was so proud and impressed she wasn't nervous at all. She just went up there and did her thing in front of everyone! She even got to dance with Belle! So sweet!

{2} At the end of the night they do the lights show. I didn't realize what it actually was. Some guy told us about it when we were getting ice cream. It didn't sound that exciting. We got a good spot and waited for the show. They played scenes from all the movies on the CASTLE! I was picturing like a outdoor drive-in movie setting. But they formed the scenes to the castle it was so awesome! Oh and Tinkerbell flew above us too!
