Babymoon

What a fun trip we had this weekend. Not the high-energy see everything get away , but the stay in bed and eat all day get away. I am usually too antsy to take a relaxing vacation but when you are 8 months pregnant it feels more natural. 

Matt was so good. He wanted me to choose everything and let me set the pace for our three day trip. He never pushed or acted bored. Which I am sure I would if the shoes were switched. I forgot my camera at home so I'll try and paste some pictures from the internet

We stayed at the Cornerstone Inn downtown Nashville, Indiana.  Matt reserved the spire. So our room is that point. Cool. It had a two man jacuzzi! Wow! As I said we spent most of our time napping and eating. The spring season in Nashville doesn't start until next weekend so we were in this ghost town. It really did feel like a movie set instead of a real town. Monday afternoon we arrived, settled in, and I took a nap while Matt read. He is reading those classics that we have in our library. He finished Dr. and Mr. Hyde while we were in Nashville. 

Next we were off to find any food or entertainment they may have on a monday night. Not much open. We found a wine tasting, yum. No food served there. But took home two bottles of Nectar from heaven. :) After a little hunting we decided to go to the Brown co. park lodge, called the Abe Martin. Later we went to the third smallest cinema in the world. The Lotus Blossom was playing and something genius. We saw Changling. Very good. We were the only two in the 25 seat theatre. The other theatres are located in England and somewhere in Asia. Very cool first day

Tuesday was freezing cold. We took our time getting up and slowly getting to walk around town. There were probably 1/4 the shops open as in high season. We warmed our toes for lunch at the hob knob cafe.

Black bean soup hit the spot for me. Then we picked up some teates at the candy store and went back for a nap. 
Later that night there was to be some live music at the Muddy Boots Cafe. So we decided to make a progressive dinner out of the evening. The music was folk style. Very nice and relaxing. You could tell all of the artsy fartsy locals had dropped by for a chat, latte, and music. We had the humus, garlic spread and olives with our pita bites. I tried lavender tea and matt had two lattes. He was wired for most of the night.  

Our dinner was at Holy Cow and Holy Cow was it gross. This was a steak and fry place. We didn't like any of our food. Luckily we had that appetizer at Muddy Boots. I would not go here if you had to choose.  Later the tub and a movie were just what the doctor had ordered. We watched an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Topaz.

Wednesday was much warmer. The town woke up a little bit. There was more movement about. We walked by the last few shops and had lunch at the Sandwich Place it was full of Bobby Knight memorabilia very neat atmosphere. 

What a perfect getaway. I couldn't have asked for anything better. We did miss Corbin but who wouldn't.
