First Weeks in Nashville

We made it to Nashville! First order of business was to buy a new car. Check out this flashy Ford Fusion we found! Drew and I definitely aren't car people. If it gets us from point A to point B reliably, then we're good. 


Car two was a black Toyota Camry! So basic. 


It was definitely nice indulging in some American comfort things that we couldn't find in Hong Kong, like cheap American Tex-Mex, which, for me, meant a giant Qdoba burrito. Mexican food was always super expensive in Hong Kong, so missed this for sure. And a nice welcome home to American portion sizes. Ha!


Trig was very happy with his new digs and toys to ease the transition. 


If there is a squeaker, I must find it and destroy!


It was certainly nice being back in a place that loves dogs, and big dogs at that.  We found a nice dog park close to Vanderbilt that we have been taking Trig to often.



Check out these boots I found in a vintage store! Apparently they were made for Dolly Parton!  Not sure if she ever actually wore them, but this brush with Dolly made me smile. I love her. Look at how tiny they are!


For my birthday, my MIL took me shopping for cowboy boots. Check this puppies out! When in Nashville!


There is a really nice park in Nashville called Centennial Park, and it has a replica of the Parthenon!  Couldn't tell you why, but it was cool to see!


One of the best parts of living in Nashville so far is diving into the music scene. All sizes of venues, all genres of music. Fun to explore.



Drew and I are subletting an apartment near Vanderbilt for a month or so until we find a house of our own. The folks we're subletting from are Vandy PhD students and are super cool. Love the historic looking building we're staying in!
