A couple weeks ago we had our Leadership Conference in NASHVILLE. Hello Music City!! I love country music so I was excited. But getting there was a different story. We had a layover in Detroit, it was snowing and I was afraid we weren't going to make it to Nashville. The pilot kept us updated on the snow status from moderate to heavy and back to moderate. There were only five planes out of 30 that didn't get canceled and luckily we were one of the five. Yay! Nashville here we come.

Jen, Scott, Cam, Melissa, Me, Casey, and Mike. Enjoying a little BBQ! It was delicious.
As we were walking up and down I noticed a sign outside The Stage. If you saw Country Strong part of it was filmed at The Stage. I couldn't help but pop on in. Oh I could have stayed there all night. After dinner we went to Mike's Ice Cream Shop.
We all had to get the red velvet ice cream. Oh it was to die for, chunks of red velvet cake, cream cheese frosting in ice cream. Oh yeah. it was good.
Cindy, Jason and Me getting ready to start our day with a few meetings and then started to set up for the show and by the way it was snowing. We had a really really tight schedule to get everything set up we thought we were going to have to pull an all nigher. We got lucky and everything worked out. No all nighters here. I was able to be in bed around 2:00 am and back to the convention center at 6:30 AM oh yeah! It could have been worse.
Ready for the day. Let Bag pick up begin! We look pretty good for only a few hours of sleep :)
This was our stage this year. I thought it was a really cool mainstage.
Our theme was + one.
Just being Crazy!

We stayed at The Gaylord Opryland. Holy cow, this place is awesome. It is huge, don't ask me how many times I got lost. Finally on the last day I found a few short cuts.

Later that night we met up with our friends at the Wild Horse Saloon.
Cori, Me, Melissa and Shiloh waiting for the Wildhorse Saloon to open. It was closed for a private party.
Finally we got in. We had such a fun time. Before the house band started to play, they were playing music and teaching everyone different line dances. I haven't country danced in a long time and it all came back. I had a blast.
Taking a break from the dance floor. Cori, Melissa Shiloh and Vampire Lisa. We stayed and danced until the very last possible minute. We had to catch our shuttle and it was the last one of the night.
The next morning we caught our flight back home. It was a great week. I've decided I need to go back to Nashville for sure. I loved that place!
While we were in the airport, these moon pies were everywhere. I decided to try one. I didn't think they were all that good. I mint ones were definitely better but still not that good.
Great job Dad!
