A Day in Nashville Country

Today my Mom brought us around Nashville and the surrounding area to some of the local favorite haunts. For Brunch, we headed to the Loveless Cafe. This is the place famous for BISCUITS. Bobby Flay from Food Network has even had a throw-down with their biscuit lady. This place was great for a hearty lunch! This is a must-do for anyone going to Nashville!

Right down the road from Loveless is the Natchez Trace Parkway. This is basically a huge bridge in the middle of nowhere. It holds a road that was once a Pony Express Trail and now goes all the way down to Natchez, Mississippi.

After some shopping on the side, we headed down South to Arrington and found Arrington Vineyards. This is a vineyard that is fairly new to the area and is partly owned by Kix Brooks of Brooks and Dunn. We did a wine sampling of 11 different wines and even had rasberry wine-infused truffles.
We brought home the award-winning Syrah and the truffles, of course. Mom came home with the Sweet Liberty.

It was nice to spend the day with my Mom. We don't get to do that often. Thanks, Mom! Heading home tomorrow. Till then...
