What is Amanda up to these days?

Spring Trip to Nashville and Muscles Shoals, Alabama

Every spring I try to make it down to Alabama to see my parents. It's the perfect time to leave the non-existent "spring" in New England, and enjoy some warm weather. Julien and I flew into Nashville and spent 2 days downtown. We naturally ate tons of fried, southern food, enjoyed live music on every corner, and did a pedal tavern bar crawl down Broadway Street. 

Taking photos in front of the Johnny Cash mural.

The required basic photo opp.


 We stayed Downtown and walked over to Big Shotz for a few drinks before dinner. We then ended up at The Stillery. We ordered a burger with pub cheese, fried pickles, and macaroni topped with hot chicken.

The chandelier at The Valentine on Broadway. 

We had lunch with my Step-Dad Joe on the way out of town at Peg Leg Porker. Their ribs are dry rubbed and amazing. I would highly recommend stopping here when in town.

We made Elephant Ears at home! I grew up eating these at every fair in Indiana and they tasted the exact same.
