Happy Friday!!! TGIF! Can you tell I’m excited that it’s the weekend!? It just feels good to be home after a series of unfortunate travel events that caused way too much stress.. But you know what, it was ALL WORTH IT because Nashville, TN was absolutely amazing!
My best friend and I traveled to Nashville last weekend to celebrate her 30th and my end of the school year! We showed up not knowing the CMA (country music awards) festival would be taking place, so every day and every night at multiple stages there were performances from some of the best in the industry! Needless to say… the city was jam packed and everyone was in the best mood just dancing around in their cowboy boots 🙂
Today on the blog I’m sharing what we did, where we ate and drank, and where I recommend staying if you have plans to visit Nashville! Which you should, just saying!!
I asked all of my trusty followers on Instagram (aka YOU) for the best of the best recommendations and you all pulled through! My friend and I only had about 48 hours in the city…but oh boy, did we make the most of the time we had! We wandered all over, went to all the bars, all the restaurants, and even fit in time to see a concert: Kasey Musgraves, Luke Bryan, and Keith Urban! AMAZING!!

I hope this helped round up some of our favorite spots from our Nashville weekend girls trip! It really was one for the books! We laughed too much, ate too much fried Southern food, took too many photos, and danced in our cowboy boots too much. But it was ALL WORTH IT! Highly recommend visiting Nashville, what a fun and memorable city it is 🙂
