nashville & david's wedding!

Due to computer complications [see end of previous post] I will just plan on re-capping our 2 week, 6 airplane ride, whirlwind vacation backwards. okay? okay. :) sounds like a plan.

So, we spent the very last weekend of our trip down in Nashville for Daniel's brother David's wedding! We arrived Friday evening with about an hour of time to primp before the rehearsal dinner. I didn't happen to take any pictures, but Daniel's sister Jennifer did! She did such a great job taking pictures I don't even feel bad about not taking any myself. :)

Saturday was the big day! We (Matt, Dani, Daniel and I - we were all at the same hotel and sharing a rental car) headed over early to help set up and be there in time for family pictures!

Levi is so adorable he even looks cute when he cries. :)

The rest are pictures from Sunday when we did a little touring of Nashville with Angel and Levi before our flights that evening.

Nashville skyline

The parthenon. Kind of random, but it is an exact replica of the one in Athens! (Made out of concrete instead of marble of course, but still pretty neat!)

Daniel at the big door

Me and Angel, it is huge!

Daniel was able to check another NFL football stadium off his list... :)

Nashville skyline again, different angle. :)

We also drove around a bit of Vanderbilt University; as that is another thing Daniel likes to see in new cities. He's all about the NFL and prestigious universities. :)

We had some yummy Tennessee BBQ in downtown Nashville and on our way back to the car we stumbled upon the country music hall of fame! We didn't go inside, but Daniel took advantage of the quick photo op!

We had such a fun time with family in Nashville. Though it was short, it was so wonderful to get to see most everyone and hang out for the weekend. Love you all, and special shout-out to the newest Mr. and Mrs. McDowell, hope you are having a wonderful time on your cruise! Welcome to the family Crystal!!
