down on the farm

ryan and i went atop bowman's tower a couple weekends ago to see the fall foliage in full bloom and stumbled upon a little farm in new hope. the chickens were lively and everything in sight was beautiful.

fall festival at greensgrow

road trip: nashville

we got to nashville at night and checked out the music shops in nash vegas. bluegrass music was everywhere.



then dinner at merchant's for fried green tomatoes! i definitely want to try to make these now that i'm back home.


we had a blast in the town and robert's western world was definitely our favorite. in between bands we had moon pie for dessert.




the next day we went museum crazy... warhol was at the frist and was one of the most amazing exhibits i have ever seen.



shopping in between at hatch show prints where music posters are made.



we ended the day at the grand ole opry.


sorry for all the cheesy shots outside. taking photos inside most of the places we visited was a no no! i absolutely loved nashville.
