Last month we flew to Nashville to visit our daughter and son-in-law, who live in Franklin, Tennessee. We hadn't been on an airplane since 2016, but everything went smoothly; no delayed or cancelled flights and the mask mandate was still in effect, and everyone behaved themselves. We flew nonstop from Seattle to Nashville and while it was nice to skip the additional landing and take-off, the four-plus hour flight felt long. Thankfully, I had good reading material.
We had the best time catching up with Amy & Will, seeing their beautiful home, and playing tourists. We stayed at the Harpeth in downtown Franklin, a charming historical town south of Nashville. There is so much to see in Franklin and Nashville and we're already talking about a return visit.

Franklin Public Square
Beautiful day for a drive on the Natchez Trace Parkway.
Our daily stop for coffee & breakfast
at McGavock's (in the Harpeth).
No souvenir bottle to bring home.
Sadly, they were sold out of their bourbon and we didn't love the whiskey.
Found a couple of books that I couldn't live without.
Finished The Absolutist, so I had to get another by Boyne.
Patchett's is signed; need I say more?
Another must on our list.
Kris' "Help Me Make It Through the Night"
John Prine's "Sam Stone"
It was fun to see all the exhibits,
especially those featuring
Kris, Johnny, and John Prine.
We had some wonderful meals, but I didn't take very many photos. We ate most of our morning meals at McGavock's, but I spotted Ruby Sunshine while I was exploring and decided we would go the following morning. It was so good, we went back one more time before we flew home. We also enjoyed meals at Franklin Bakehouse, 1799 (in the Harpeth), and Culaccino.
