The Essence of a Mother

Yes...We did it!!  We survived living in tents for 10 days!  It was a little challenging at times but through it all we remained strong with a few complaints while building strong bonds.       Our first destination was to Nashville!  Country music blares from everywhere you go.  From car windows, the street performers on Broadway, in the Grocery stores and the Opry Mills Mall.  It's a very lively city!  We stayed at Seven Points Campground, nestled in Hermitage, Tennessee...where Andrew Jackson's Hermitage is located.  It's about a 20 minute drive into downtown Nashville.  We arrived to a very wet campground.  Try setting up tents when it's raining?  Yeah...we tried.  And good thing Donnie accidentally brought the extra basket with extra towels.  I used those to dry the wet tent.  We then put a halt to setting up and we went out for pizza while waiting for th...

"Ok...lady...wake up...  get down to what's really going on!!" Oh...actually, nothing really.  But not gonna write anything of "value" really.  today....it's one of those days...some...
