Don't you forget about me

My wife and I are going on vacation for a week and a half. Can't promise how much I'll be lurking and pissing people off. 

 

So there.

Enjoy! Where are you headed? We need some domestic vacation ideas. Cancelled a big trip coming up in a couple months. (I’m not paying YOU to quarantine me.)

 

Don’t worry, there are plenty of people to piss us off in your absence!  I’m NOT worried about a shortage! 😋

We're headed to Laurel, Mississippi. My wife and I are big fans of the HGTV Show Home Town. It's filmed in Laurel. Many people on the show have gone to check out the town, fell in love, bought a house and have Ben and Erin renovate it. Not saying we would follow suit, but we are looking to leave Buffalo during the winters, and this is on our short list of places to check out.  Also stopping in Nashville on the way down and on the way back.

I hope you have an awesome trip! 

 

We love Nashville and the surrounding area. We used to have a condo there for family and spent a LOT of time there. If they had better weather and I could be sure they could manage their ridiculous growth I’d consider that as a retirement destination. (I’m already retired, but when the wife gives it up.)

 

Most people hear “Nashville” and think country music. It is SO MUCH MORE than that! Amazing college town with Vanderbilt, Belmont, Lipscomb all just a few miles apart, plus others. It’s a medical hub with all kinds of technology investment, etc. 

 

You might know it better than I do, but if you want hints for restaurants, what to do, etc let me know. 

 

EDIT: My wife would probably consider Waco, TX as a vacation destination. She LOVES Joanna Gaines and her style. She actually looked into having her come to Atlanta to our house a few years ago. My wife reads a book, then reaches out to the author with amazing results! She's a dynamo, but Joanna has limits.
