Family Christmas Weekend Getaway

Our second annual Christmas weekend getaway. This year we choose to visit the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, TN. Some good friends moved to Nashville this past May, we were able to visit and see them during our stay. Friday night after checking in our hotel we went to their house and the boys played with Katie and Andrew. Then we went out to dinner. The kids had a blast getting to visit with friends. Saturday we went to the "ICE" The theme this year was How the Grinch Stole Christmas! That was a lot of FUN but COLD. The boys had fun with Katie and Andrew Dovan sliding down the ice slides. It was about 10 degrees in there. We later had dinner reservations at The Pam Tillis Christmas Dinner Party. The boys were great! It wasn't very entertaining for them as she and her band performed a medley of Christmas songs and her number one hits. It was great but after sitting for an hour and a half we were impressed on how well all three behaved. We did tell them if they didn't have to be spoken to once then we'd go on the boat ride in the hotel afterwards. It was a river that ran through part of the hotel. Sunday we took our time and went to the Opry Mills Mall and met my brother and his wife for lunch at the Aquarium restaurant. That was neat. The boys liked watching the fish swim around as we ate. We had a great weekend. Its fun to go look at all the Christmas lights and decorations during this wonderful time of the year. Below are a few pictures from the weekend.
