Since she won't be able to get off of work when Jack and I go visit her family or when they come here this summer, Laura asked for a graduation present of a plane ticket to meet baby Jack -- between her 6 grueling months of studying for the MCAT, and heading back for a summer of work in Southern CA -- and then potentially on to South America to serve there for a year. Since Laura has finished her MCAT only hours before her cross-country flight, we wanted to celebrate with her while she was here!
So, we went to...
Puckett's Grocery in downtown Franklin for some good ol' Southern barbecue and fixins:
The Schermerhorn Symphony Center for Regions free day of music:
Then on to the walking bridge for a view of Nashville's skyline:
And after a full day, we treated ourself to homemade tortillas and cold beers at SATCO:
Jack treated himself to a nap on my lap:
While Luke worked Laura, Jack, and I visited beautiful Radnor Lake:
Where we saw friends Elisabeth and Lucas!
And the next day we went for a hike in Warner Park:
Where we ran into this guy:
Surely he's harmless?!
That night we headed to Rusan's in the Gulch for sushi and then on to Las Paletas for scratchmade gourmet popsicles:
We finished off Laura's time here with lunch at Merridee's Breadbasket:
with our friends Becca and Camille. (How did we not get a picture with you, Bec?!)
And then we took a walk around downtown Franklin, including a walk by the newly restored theatre, before having to send Laura back home for her (very) full summer!
Thank you for coming to visit us, Auntie Laura! We LOVED spending time with you and hope you can come back soon!
