First time out of state

Kaiya, at 8 weeks of age, is already a well traveled little baby. This past weekend we met up with friends from college and had a great time in Nashville. We visited this really cool resort called Gaylord Opryland. It's like a little city, complete with hotel rooms, restaurants, shops, a "river boat" ride, gardens and spa. Go check it out: http://www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylordopryland/


This waterfall is inside the resort. We spent Saturday walking around and catching up. It was a lot of fun, and Kaiya was perfect! The photo is pretty blurry, but from left: Kaiya (in stroller), Lisa, Kerry, Jenny (in stroller), and Chris W.

The weekend was also a host of firsts for our wee little girl.

Top 10 firsts on her trip to Nashville
1. Visit to McDonalds: no Happy Meals for Kaiya!
2. Trip out of state: she visited two, Tennessee and Kentucky.
3. Night in a hotel: she even got her own bed.
4. Road trip: Kaiya was such a trooper. She didn't fuss and didn't mind the time in her car seat. In fact, we only had to stop once on the way down and twice on the way back.
5. Meeting Aunt Kerry, Uncle Chris and Cousin Jenny (Cousin Lisa is on the way!): just wait until she realizes they aren't really related.
6. Irish pub: you should have seen her dancing on the tables!
7. Sleep in her travel bed: slept just as well as if it were her bassinet.
8. Worship in a mega-church: they are in the middle of a sanctuary construction program, and we had to sit in the overflow room, which was big enough for our whole congregation!
9. Diaper change on the sink of the men's bathroom: Daddy was tending to Kaiya, and there were no changing tables!!!
10. Souvenir t-shirt: unfortunately, the smallest size was 12 months (see below).


She traveled so well, I think we will have to do it again soon!

State count: 3
Country count: 1

I can't believe you were in Nashville...that's only 4 hours from Atlanta. Opryland is awesome...would have loved to have seen you guys! Let it be known that Kaiya's daddy is a bum cousin! lol
