Spring Break 2012 - Georgia

Left Saturday morning.  It was 33 degrees but our spirits were bright and the children were warm in the cozy nests they created in the car.  Andrew drafted fantasy baseball teams while Ellis took more interest than normal in the landscape.

We made it to Nashville in about 9 hours enjoying the greening and flowers along the way. We ate at a yummy Greek restaurant, Athens, featured on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives http://www.flavortownusa.com/athens-family-restaurant.aspx.  During dinner Ellis announced that that he wanted to visit the Parthenon http://www.nashville.gov/parthenon/- .  Luckily, he had watched the Percy Jackson movie to remind him.   The Parthenon replica is located in Centenial Park near Vanderbilt University.  The evening temperature was a very comfortable 75 degrees.  Ellis swam at our hotel pool outside and we all went to bed early.

This morning we ate at The Pancake Pantry http://thepancakepantry.com/, arriving before 7 am to beat the infamous line.  On to the Hermitage to see Andrew Jackson's home/plantation.  Beautiful day, weather, flowers opening on this early spring day.

We arrived at Moose Mac http://moosemac.com/ this afternoon about 4. It is beautiful. The bees are currently very active as the flowers are in bloom. We grilled burgers and ate on the deck overlooking miles of mountains.   Andrew and Ellis entertained one another by laughing hysterically at dinner.  The guys enjoyed time in the hot tub and are now downstairs playing pool.

We are happy to be on vacation and see this part of the country.
