Weekend before last, my immediate family headed to Nashville to meet up with my brother, SIL, and nephew. My SIL was in a wedding there and since it is only about a 5.5 hour drive for us we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get to see them. Last time we saw them was last year around the holidays. Easton, our nephew, was only one and Shaw was only a few months old at the time, so this time together was quite a bit different for them. They played and interacted a lot, which was fun. Sadly, our nephew had a little stomach bug while we were there but was still a trooper. We had a great trip spending time with all my family and exploring the city. The only negative was the one room sleeping situation. I knew it was more than likely not going to work. Shaw took about 30 minutes worth of naps the entire weekend (when he is used to two plus hours a day) and slept in the bed with us one of the two nights. This was only the second time in his life that he has ever slept with us. This time it was all three of us in a queen size bed and it was TERRIBLE! I have never seen a baby move around as much as he does while sleeping. I think I woke up three times that night with him literally laying on top of me sound asleep. He would then gently roll off and roll on top of Josh. Wild night for all of us. For future trips, we will either be getting two adjoining rooms, a suite, or a condo. No more single hotel rooms for us for a while.

Checking out the fish at Rain Forest Cafe. He loved it!
This is the best we could get with all three of them.
Ganna and Pops with their grands! In just 4 months there will be two more to add to the group.
At the Gaylord Opryland Resort.
Once again, checking the fish out.

You would have thought the escalator was a carnival ride. They rode it at least 10 times!

He was trying to figure out what the big, tall guy was!
...and he made Shaw a balloon dog. Too cute!
Sunday morning before we all left town we ate at this family style restaurant by the airport, Modell's. It was amazing! Highly recommend eating there if you are going to the Nashville area.
Outside the restaurant before our long drive home. Even though we had a rough time in the hotel room, Shaw couldn't have been more perfect on the drives going there and coming home. If you can imagine, he slept most of the way home.
