Ride to Nashville

After the museum we went to Ihop for some breakfast before getting on the road. About 30 minutes into the trip Erin realized she left her credit card back at the Ihop. MISTAKE! That put an hour dent into our travel time, led to some frustration, but i eventually got over it, and we got to Nashville. We checked in at the HoJo, and head out to find some cool shops, we didn’t really find any unfortunately, so we went to Broadway to get some dinner. We parked in a garage we thought was close, but was about 2 blocks away, which wouldn’t have been bad, if it wasn’t about to open up on us! We made it to broadway and under an overhang just before it started to pour. We waited it out, and decided to go to the Broadway Brewhouse. 64 beers on tap! Erin got a Texas Melt, which was, “effing good” and consisted of smoked brisket, melted jack, and jalepeno mayo on texas toast. I got a BBQ pulled pork sandwich with melted jack and panama sauce. We shared cheese fries. The best part was the beer. We had 6 beers between the two of us, all southern micro brews. We spanned the range: hef, amber, wheat (blueberry!), stout, and 2 ciders. It was awesome, and the bill was only $50!

After dinner we went out to do some boot shopping. We tried on about 20 pairs of boots between the two of us. We found a store that was selling buy one get two free, found some boots we liked, but couldn’t pull the trigger until we looked at other stores, so we went to one on 2nd street that was having a flood sale. We made a mistake though, we tried on Luchese’s, the cadillac of boots. They were AMAZING, it was as though they were made for our feet, but even at 50% off we couldn’t afford them, i even haggled it down, but not far enough. We decided that the next trip we take we’ll have to put some money aside just for boots!

After leaving Broadway empty handed, we called it a night. Chapel Hill tomorrow to see my very pregnant friend!
