Ty and I went on a recruitment trip/conference together this past week. I love that he is able to travel with me as an ambassador. He always does such a good job talking with prospective students and pre-med advisors.
Laura told me about Design Sponge's travel reviews and I will never go on a trip again without looking at her site. The post had so many great suggestions.
I wish we would have had more time to explore the city. We spent a lot of time around Vanderbilt and Ty shadowed one of our alumni, who now works at the Vanderbilt medical school. It is such a great campus and the surrounding neighborhoods are very fun.
The Parthenon
Took a walk on the pedestrian bridge to get a good view of downtown
Dinner one night at the Tin Angel; Lobster & shrimp risotto with red & yellow tomatoes.
Dinner downtown at Jack's BBQ
Belmont University campus
We tried to go to lunch in East Nashville at I Dream of Weenie, a hot dog stand, but they had closed up early. Very cute set-up though!
Instead we ate at Marche Artisan Foods and enjoyed homemade ice cream at the Pied Piper Creamery. The strawberry was oh so good!
Nashville is a very friendly city. And those accents. Oh, those accents. I wish I had a southern accent. I just loved it.
Looks so fun!!! I have only driven through. I really, really want that risotto!

ReplyDeleteI adore Nashville. J went to Vandy for undergrad and I loved going to visit him. Not only was Vandy gorgeous, but the city of Nashville is so fun, so pretty, and SUPER friendly. What's not to love?
Also, Design Sponge is amazing, isn't it? They recently did one for our city that we live in and I have had fun trying some new restaurants I had never heard of before. It'll be even better when I travel!
