When people ask me the age old question - "so why did YOU start blogging?" - my pre-packaged answer is always about wanting a creative outlet, a place to let my girlie, fashion obsessed side run free during the hours after my day job as a scientist. Well, I'm changing my mind (as BritBrit once said, that's my prerogative!)
Now, the thing that keeps my blogging mojo going? It's all about the connections I have made. The women that I never would have met otherwise but have nonetheless become my blogging friends, collaborators, and downright soul sisters. Pretty crazy when you think about it.
Because I don't already have enough on my plate, I dreamed up (with the other Jessica, who sadly left Nashville this Fall) a community of bloggers for Nashville. BlogNashville was born this Summer & I can't believe how far this little dream has come.
Yesterday 14 Nashville bloggers & I hopped on the GrayLine Trolley Tour** & got to see behind the scenes in our own backyard. Exploring such landmarks as The Ryman Auditorium, Broadway Ave. & The Country Music Hall of Fame. We giggled, took way too many pictures, strengthened our bonds on the other side of the computer screen, & shared duck fat tater tots. The perfect day I tell you!
Thankful for the friendships that I am forming with these lovely local ladies: Perfectly Priya // Oh So Pretty // Fringe & Lace // Stilettoed to Steeltoed // My Scuttle // Ellen Loves // J's Southern Chic // Love This Life // My Post Grad Life // Gin & Tonic // Not Quite Grownup Guide // Three Sweet Peas // Zipporah Photography
This is just a sneak peek of our adventures & I can't wait to share the fab pictures that my talented photographer friend Zipporah took throughout the day too!
Wether you are a local or a Nashville tourist, I definitely recommend the Gray Line Hop on & off trolley tour along with their other top notch tours like the Unpublished Nashville Walking Tour. Connect with the Gray Line Tour group on Facebook & Twitter.
Have you gotten out & acted like a tourist in your town lately?
Any away from the computer blogger connections?
**Gray Line tours provided us this experience free of charge, but all opinions & reviews are my own. I would never share anything with you that didn't meet my high standards.
