nashville, day 2

Our second day in Nashville was Sunday. We went to church with the Callison's at Long Hollow Baptist Church. It was a great service. And of course being in Nashville, the music was incredible! We ate lunch at their neighborhood restaurant. Any place that has a chocolate fountain is a great place to eat!!

That afternoon, the boys relaxed and played video games while Kelly and I went shopping. Since we were going to a George Jones concert that evening, we decided that we needed big Nashville hair. If you know anything about Kelly and me, you know our hair is anything but big! We also don't really know what we are doing when it comes to making big hair... but we tried!

The George Jones concert was downtown at the Ryman Theater, the original home of the Grand Ole Opry. It was a very cool place. When we got there, a tour bus was parked out front. We stood there for a while, hoping to meet George, but that didn't happen. But what happened a little later definitely made up for it!!

The concert was awesome. I mean, it's George Jones- how could it not be awesome? I think Micah even secretly had a great time! During the concert, Lee Ann Womack, Joe Nichols and Tanya Tucker made guest appearances. Kelly rushed the stage to get pictures, and Joe Nichols waved at her. She was pretty excited about that...

After the concert, we walked around downtown a little. We decided to go into Tootsie's Orchid Lounge- a famous bar where a lot of people got their start. It was a little tiny place, so we just kind of walked through and started to leave. As we were leaving, I thought I noticed the shirt that Lee Ann Womack had been wearing. I started screaming to Kelly that it was her, but she was ignoring me... I finally got her attention, and we ran after Lee Ann Womack. This is our picture with her.

As we were leaving, apparently Joe Nichols walked by us. Kelly and I were too starstruck to hear Chris tell us that. We were walking down the alley, and we saw another bus. Chris says, "I think that's Tanya Tucker." Sure enough, it was!! So we stood outside her bus, waiting for her to step out and we got a picture with her too.

So, that concluded day 2 in Nashville. It was a pretty good day, if I do say so myself.
