I have neglected my little blog this week because we are on a road trip, but I missed you all so here I am.Hope you are happy to see me, too!We spent a couple of nights in one of my favorite cities, Nashville. Usually, we stay south of town in the Franklin area and we...ok, I....love it down there. Franklin is full of the most unique shops, and the people are so NICE!
