Plan B Day!

I always plan out our trips when we go away, but every now and then we find ourselves ditching the itinerary and doing something fun and different! Such was the plan for us one day last week. We had planned to explore Nashville on foot, but we ended up with a side trip.

One of my friends from when I worked at the church said we should stop in at Dave Ramsey's headquarters while we were in the area. Her son just started working there and she thought we'd enjoy it. I looked up the address, and it was only about a half hour away, so we decided to try it out. 

On the way there, we happened to pass by a Sonic, so....

I have missed Sonic SO MUCH!!! I don't even remember the last time I had it!!

Anyway! Back to the Dave Ramsey visit. The building was enormous! (Only part of it is in this picture. There's a whole separate wing to the left!)

If you're not familiar with Dave, he's a money expert whose passion is teaching people how to get out of debt. We learned when we arrived that we had shown up on a podcast day, so we stayed to watch that! 

We looked around the building a bit to learn more of Dave's story, and we enjoyed coffee from their coffee shop. Bonus? It was free! That's right! You can get a latte or treat for FREE!!

And then we watched part of the podcast! The producers (whose job obviously fascinated me, since it threw me back to my own producer days) told us there are usually a ton of people there for the show, but we arrived on an empty day! So it was like we had our own private show!

We really enjoyed this stop and stayed longer than we planned - but it was so much fun! By the time we left, there was some pretty decent rain in the forecast, so we hurried to a park where I wanted to climb the stairs I'd read about online. They were steeper than they looked, but we did it!

It started raining as soon as we got back in the car, and it was starting to get dark, too. Ryan asked if we still wanted to walk around Nashville, but it was cold and windy, so I voted to just eat dinner and go back to the Airbnb to watch movies!

We tried out Hattie B's - a Nashville chicken spot. It was really good!!

On our way out of town, I did get this pretty sweet picture of Nashville. It was so pretty - but ugh! The traffic!

We both agreed that this was a really fun Plan B day. Worth ditching the schedule! :)
