Loveless, Penn State, and CASH

It's been great to do things recently I haven't done in the 8 years I have lived in Nashville. And this weekend I got to do 2. The famous Loveless Cafe isn't too far from where I live and I have always wanted to eat there. So on Saturday morning Sara and I went. We had tried going there a few weeks before but the wait was an hour and 20 minutes and we had somewhere else to be. So, after only an hour wait this time we were treated to some of the best southern cooking I've ever had considering I ordered ham & eggs for thei first time...and ofcourse we had their famous biscuits.

Afterwards we drove along Natchez Trace for what was a cool but beautiful day. We stopped at some scenic spots and enjoyed the view. I love the south.

We then hit up the Franklin Pumpkin Fest. We got to see the Jackson boys all dressed up and enjoyed some Bayou Billy soda. In the evening I got to see my Nittany Lions defeat Ohio State to become 9-0 and #3 in the nation! My brother was in attendance at OSU and sent me these pics. 

On Sunday the 2nd thing I got to do that I haven't done since I have lived here was go see the area where Johnny Cash lived. Sara took the time to look it up online and figure out how to get there. In 2002 the Man in Black passed away and then later his house burned down during renovations by a BeeGee who purchased it (yeah, disco sucks). It's so sad that the house is no longer there but it was great to see the area where the house was as the foundation was still there. The view onto the lake was beautiful and obvious why Johnny purchased the house in 1968 and lived there until his death.

We then drove over to the Hendersonville Memorial Gardens to pay respect.

In all, it was a very eventful and extremely fun weekend. Like I've said before, it's been amazing to see places and do things I haven't done in all the years I have lived in Nashville. I love it here!
