Madd Max Has A Nashville Day

Beginning with the Farmers Market.

A stop in East Nashville after a very long and humid walk.

 

The highlight of the visit, a show at The Listening Room, featuring a writers round with Paul Sikes, Joe Fox and Andy Albert.

 

A terrible moonshine margarita at Bootleggers.

Although the experience of Broadway was had.

Yee-haw!

Madd Max Hikes Foss Mountain

Where they brought dinner to enjoy and catch the sunset.

Madd Max Has A Nashville Food Tour

The afternoon began with a pizza at The Pink Hermit Cafe.

At the Hermitage Hotel.

 

Chicken salad sandwich at D'Andrews. 

Short rib taco at Bakersfield.

Savory bread pudding at The Farm House.

And a sweet end with a Goo Goo cluster.

There were also these cool sights - Printers Alley.

The Country Music Hall of Fame.

And the Nashville skyline.

Slappy Inner Tubes

Heading down the Saco with Kayla.

Ice cream followed.

Madd Max Heads To Nashville

Or Smashville, which apparently did not get it's name from all the bachlorette parties it hosts, but rather from it's hockey team.

The reason for the trip.

Even more better than the yummy taco board they had for dinner in SoBro.

The Scrapper Climbs Again

After returning to Portland with Simon. Apparently, he's a fan.

The Scrapper Turns 17

It was a beautiful day.
 

For our baby to turn 17 in his favorite place.

Card from his cuz, et al.

The teens all headed out to the bridge by bike and paddleboard, and then partially enjoyed getting caught in a rainstorm.

McDonalds lunch per the birthday boy's request.

Lunchtime ice cream instead of cake, and present opening.

That's a happy teen.

Who was even happier to spend the rest of the day inside while others ventured into the world.  He gave the birthday a 10 after having his favorite meal, bacon, brussel sprout pasta for dinner.
