A Weekend Away

Sometimes, planning a weekend away with friends can be daunting.... As a Nashville Native (well close anyway) I get asked all the time where I would go for a Friday brunch or what I would do for a Saturday daytime activity. With plenty of restaurants, and a lot of fun activities in the city, the possibilities are endless when it comes to filling up a few days in Nashville!

To make these suggestions easier for you to navigate, I went ahead and put together my ideal Nashville weekend as a guideline on what to see and do in Music City!

AM - Arrive in Music City!

Lunch for the Crew - Bakersfield Tacos & margaritas

Afternoon Activity - A trip through the Johnny Cash Museum then across the street for Chocolate Making Class at Goo Goo Clusters

Dinner Plans - Head to 12S for dinner at Burger Up followed by artisan ice cream at Jeni's
