Nashville and Brown County

Every year we make sure to visit Nashville and Brown County, preferably in the fall. My grandparents just happen to live near there so we stopped and visited on our way.

Our favorite place in Nashville is the Daily Grind, a quaint little coffee shop that also serves breakfast and lunch. Ari had a blast eating the whipped topping off our mochacino. Mmmm...

He also had a blast hanging out with this little girl. They were in awe and wouldn't stop staring at each other. Then it was time to meander into some shops, specifically the fudge shop that just happened to finish making fresh peanut butter fudge as we walked in. I can still smell it now...

We had to make a pit stop and it just happened to be full of rocks, one of Ari's favorite things. I'm sure he is giving some speech about it while AJ snapped the picture.


We happened to pick the busiest day of the year for the State Park. We parked here for a good half an hour while we all napped. The last few years we had missed the leaves so it was nice to see all the colors.

After our rejuvenating nap we headed to the playground for a while. Daddy loves to take him down the slide. Over. And over. And over again.


Then off to some trails. Ari did surprisingly well (to me). I was too worried that he was going to trip on all the rocks and sticks and roots that stick out of the ground.

That was not the case. He nearly stopped at every one in such amazement that they were stuck in the ground. This rock was just too "hard" for him to pick up. I had to break it to him though that it wouldn't have fit in his pocket anyway. Did I mention that he loves rocks and collects them every chance he gets? He's such a little boy. I love it.
