Nashville; day one.

Mark and I left for Nashville at 1am on Saturday..so it was really still our Friday. December isn't the typical vacation month, but for us it seems to be a yearly thing and it actually is nice. I hope to have a summer vacation though as well. Anyways, Mark and I switched off driving through the night. Two hours here and two hours there. It wasn't too bad of a drive at all. We stopped to stretch, fuel up, and use the restroom but otherwise we were on a mission. We arrived at the Hotel Preston at about 9am. I wasnt sure if we could check in that early considering our check in time was supposed to be 3pm. But the nice front desk people got us right in. We stayed in 301, right off the elevator that required a key swipe for usage. That was different! Well, we got all situated and took a nice long nap. After we were all rested up and freshened up we headed to downtown. We went to the Parthenon. It is a full size replica of that which is in Greece. It was amazing and massive! We had some foreigners take our photo a few times. Stay tuned for those!
There we looked around for a place to eat.  After walking around taking in the sights and sounds of music row we decided to check out a place that drew us in called Tequila Cowboy. The place had a band playing and the food smelled good. We hadn't eaten much since 5am when we had what I thought to be the worst breakfast sandwich N.A. Not impressed at first glance at their lack of choices on the menu..nonetheless we decided to have a small meal then save room for a fancy dinner on Monday before we head back north. 
Boy, I learned my lesson. If a place has only a few options its probably because they are phenomenal.  I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and Mark an American burger. We both said it was hands down the very best burger either of us have ever had. We enjoyed the taste of authentic southern burger as well as the sounds of some country songs we both secretly love.
We walked around for awhile checking out a store or two but the rain started. We didn't want to be out in that walking aimlessly with no plan but also all the sudden I turned into grandma Alison.  I had this epic awful cramp in my back as I hobbled to the vehicle. So we decided to let the rain settle and get back and rest for awhile. I thought may be sitting in the car for hours then walking a bunch then sitting on a bar stools for a couple hours I guess is what did it.
We get back to the hotel to the comfy soft blankets and get all cozy together. Mark rubbed my back where it was cramped and made it better. So it then turned into massages and love making; some of the most passionate of sorts in many moons. So that made us fall asleep and nap with a smile.
Sleepy heads decided to wake up an hour or so later and head back downtown for a nice dinner. Well being tourists and indecisive individuals we took forever to decide. We ended up near music row again at a place we thought about earlier called Demos'. Oh my god. Talk about amazing!
I ordered sweet tea only to get unsweetened tea with a sugar water syrup that you add as needed to make the perfect tea for you. It was absolutely amazing! Best tea NA! Anyway, next our waiter Sulley is really hands down no joke without a doubt the best best best waiter we or I have ever had. The nicest, most helpful, most eloquent and descriptive server as well. We both ordered steaks. Mark a medium rare ribeye and me a filet mignon compressed by bacon. You can even get any of their pastas as a side! What?! Phenomenal!  Alfredo for me...delish! Overall such an amazing impression of Nashville. Oh and did I mention the prices?! It was only $30 for us two. As opposed to some other places didn't even have anything on the menu for under that price per person. We will definitely have to stop back before we go.
Well at about 11 we headed back to the hotel where we watched some twitch tv league of legends together and cuddled and bonded over what is some time that we have very much needed. Now we are off to sleep! The game is at noon and we want to make it to breakfast before!
