We stayed at the Westin Nashville Hotel this weekend. A very nice and clean hotel. Directly when you came in it felt kinda fancy. The room was of great size and it was almost too bad we only stayed for two nights.
They have a gym that we never checked out. I thought about going down there to work out on Sunday morning when Jim was sleeping, but I was pretty tired myself and drinking coffee in the sun sounded better to me:) But judging by the pictures of the gym I think it would have been nice to work out there.Â
There was an infinity pool on the roof which we of course had to check out. It didn’t open until 10am which was a bit annoying since we like to do stuff early, but there were no sun then anyway and the water wasn’t heated so maybe 10 was a good time after all. We were the first ones in at 10 and 15 minutes later 8 kids and their parents where splashing around so much that we just left to have champagne in the lounge instead. I loved the style of the lounge area. They also had a second rooftop floor that looked very nice, but we never hung out there.Â
I was very pleased with our stay there. The staff was friendly and helpful and like I said, the hotel was clean. Clean is important to me and unfortunately not all hotels are that clean no matter how many stars they have.Â



We are back from our weekend trip to Nashville. We landed around 2pm on Friday and after leaving our stuff at the hotel we walked down to Broadway. The street was pretty packed and a bit overwhelming. Nashville is kinda like Vegas these days. Very popular for bachelor, bachelorette, 30s and 50s party celebrations. A lot of them start their party as early as like 9-10am in the morning so around 3 when we got there people where already in full speed party mode. But it seemed to come in waves, cause sometimes when we came out of a place it was almost “empty” on the street cause everybody had probably ended up inside somewhere, and then in an hour it was completely packed on the streets again.
Every bar had their doors and windows open and bands performing loudly in the opening, so you heard 20 different songs at the same time when walking around which was actually fun. Country music everywhere and people wearing boots and cowboy hats.Â
We were hungry so we went to Jacks bbq on Broadway, like the only place that wasn’t packed. After that we just walked around checking all the stores that sold boots, walked down to the river and then ended up on 2nd Ave where we saw they had a Coyote Ugly bar. Maybe you don’t know this, but Jim and I met at the Coyote bar in NYC, so we thought it could be fun to check out. Na, it is pretty tacky and not very fun, so we didn’t stay long.
Our friends had now landed and texted us to come to Legends Corner. That was probably the best bar on Broadway with a little older people, both tourists and locals, hanging out there (at least during the day). Great live music and lots of fun music stuff to look at on the walls. A more calm place in compare to all the other bars.Â
We went bar hopping for the rest of the night. One new bar off Broadway had a full 90s theme with arcade games that was free to play as much as you wanted and the decor in there was cool, but ya, very new and not so country. We stayed to play a few games and then continued. At one point we ended up at Robert’s Western World, a bar that I had written down. The night before our trip, I re-watched the episode of Master of None where Aziz goes to Nashville, and I saw they went to Robert’s. We wanted to honky tonk of course but every place was so packed this late at night that you could barely exist, haha, but I definitely tried to dance in the crowd:)

Flying to Nashville tomorrow. I’m actually really excited! It’s one of those places that has been on my wish list since I was a kid. Growing up in a music family it’s hard to not know about Nashville, hahah.
We are going to a concert on Saturday together with Jim’s friend from Minnesota. I’m sure we are going to just honka tonk a lot this weekend (or that’s probably just me) but I’m hoping to be able to see some cool country stuff as well. I wanted to go to the Grand Ole Opry, but that’s not really in the downtown area where we are going to be, so maybe I have to skip that:( But I’m positive that this weekend will be a lot of fun! Of course I’m gonna film for you guys 🙂Â

We had a pretty active day yesterday. Got up early to watch the sunrise, had coffee on the terrace, I went to the gym for an hour and after I had showered, we packed a bag with water, snacks and mosquito spray. We drove for about 40 minutes to Mountain Lakes Park in North Salem, NY.Â
We started walking and soon we came to a lake filled with water lilies. I’ve never seen so many before. I was completely amazed by this!
We continued on and realized we had walked to an end, so we had to go back a little bit and then go back on the path we wanted. So incredibly nice, basically noone there, we were alone for the most part.
At some point I heard something that sounded like a baby bear crying. The thought of running into a bear had never crossed my mind, cause I didn’t grow up with bears in the forest (I grew up in the south of Sweden, we saw occasionally a moose but even that was rare). I started walking a little faster and kept looking around until we had walked far enough for it to feel a little safer. Running into momma bear on our hike would be amazing to see but absolutely terrifying to experience:)
We walked to what we thought was the lookout point. We sat on a wooden bench and had snacks before we continued. Very shortly after that, we ended up at the actual lookout, haha. There were several people hanging out looking at the view of the three lakes. We only stayed for about a minute, not even. We were pretty tired at this point, especially our little fluff butt.
Thor tried to stay awake in his travel bag by my feet in the car but eventually he fell asleep. He walked 6 MILES!! Our tiny 7.5 lbs baby walked 6 miles yesterday! Can you believe it? And he “climbed” a mountain (it was slowly going up and then down, you didn’t really notice that you walked up a mountain). I am so proud of him. I wonder if his little muscles are sore today, haha:)Â
