It has been snowing here in Nashville! And I love it because that means SNOW DAYS!
My mom came in town on Wednesday and we've been having non-stop fun! We didn't let the snow and ice slow us down from getting out and shopping!
We have done so much stuff in the past couple of days. It worked out great because Friday was a snow day, so we got a whole extra day to go do stuff.
Here is a little recap mainly for my memory. :)
Wednesday night we went to Opry Mills for dinner at Macaroni Grill and then stocked up on necessities at Kroger. We came home and watched American Idol. I had to work on Thursday, but as soon as I got off we were out! We went to eat at the Chophouse in Franklin. I've never been and it was great! Then we headed to Green Hills Mall and shopped, shopped, shopped. I got makeup, clothes, coats, a picture, and a purse! It was fun. While we were there, I got the message that school was canceled for Friday. Woohoo!
So, we shopped until late and then came home and watched Julie and Julia. I love that movie and I never get sick of it.
Friday, we were out and about again! We shopped and drove around Nashville. We stayed out all day.
This is what it looked like in Nashville around lunch time on Friday. It had only been snowing a couple of hours, but it was quite a bit already!
We drove around trying to find somewhere to eat dinner because a lot of places were closed. We ended up finding Nero's Grill. I am still new to Nashville, so I had never heard of it. We went in and it looked great, so we decided to try it. It was DELICIOUS! We made a good choice. When we went in the parking lot and streets only had slush and a little bit of snow. When we came out, it looked like this! And it was still coming down!
We stopped to get a chocolate glazed donut for the morning at the Donut Den. It was yummy.
See, the streets were getting covered. This was about 6:00 on Friday night.
Downtown Nashville
Our neighborhood. The streets downtown had been salted and plowed, so they didn't show how much had really fallen, but ours did!
At this point, it was still snow. See how Fiona's little feet were sinking in the snow.
My feet were sinking, too.
Look at her back leg. It is completely in the snow. She's looking at me like "Let me go in! It's freezing out here!" haha
We finished the night by watching Twilight (the 1,278th time for me ;) ).
This was what it looked like Saturday morning.
A layer of ice had formed on top of the snow.
You can't even tell there are two steps right there.
The snow is up to the bottom of the fence, which is high. We got about 5 or 6 inches.
Even though the streets were more icy on Saturday, we still went out. We went to The Dog for lunch! My mom had never been, so it was fun to take her. Then we ended up back at Green Hills mall. We shopped some more even though over half of the mall was closed due to the snow. Silly southerners (me included)! It was lots of fun though. We ended the night going to see It's Complicated. I really liked it! I like Meryl Streep and I loved her house and the bakery in the movie. We came back home and watched Bride Wars and Mama Mia on tv.
We seriously had way too much fun! I can't wait to do it again!
(keep your fingers crossed for me that I'll get another snow day on Monday!)
UPDATE*******Monday will be snow day number 4!!! Yay!

5 chirps:
Sounds like you two had an amazingly fun time! *fingers crossed* ;o)
I'm crossing my fingers too that we get a snow day tomorrow! That would be perfect :)
Glad you had so much fun with your mom! Come check out what I did with my mom this weekend too :)
Well, it's official...we both got our snow day tomorrow! You heard anything yet?!
Sounds like fun!
We had tickets to see "It's Complicated" on Christmas Day, but it was an hour drive from my parents' house and we had a foot of snow, so it was a total no go. My parents saw it later and my Mom said "just wait until you see her bakery". I've got to see it!
The snow has been so pretty! Looks like y'all got a bit more than us.
And I agree about the house/bakery in the movie. Loved it!
