Nashville with Kids

Posted by | Jun 11, 2018 | ,

I have wanted to visit Tennessee for a while. I love country music, so I wanted to make sure to visit Nashville and take in a show at the Grand Ole Opry.  This summer I finally decided to make it happen and I planned a trip to Nashville with kids. While the drive wasn’t short, it wasn’t horrible. We drove out of Orlando at 4 in the morning and we made one stop for breakfast and a couple of short bathroom breaks/leg stretching breaks. We arrived in Nashville 12 hours later. The kids slept for about 5.5 hours and...

Go Back in Time at Barberville Pioneer Settlement

This past weekend I went to the Barberville Pioneer Settlement with my daughter. If you haven’t heard of it before, neither had I until I saw it listed as a Girl Scouts event. Barberville is an outdoor museum with buildings from Barberville in the late 1800s/early 1900s. There are original buildings on the property as well as replicas.
