Days 14, 15 and 16

Finally, the final post about my trip! We woke up on Friday to head to Frisco, Texas. As sad as it is, we were excited to drive through Texas and not see any more mountains. We got to my cousin Anne's house just in time to watch the opening ceremonies for the Olympics! We went to eat dinner and had the best burgers ever and walked around a cute little area that had all stores and restaurants.

In the morning, we left and headed for Tennessee. We were going to wait and see how far we would drive and stop at a hotel, but instead we made a reservation at one that had good reviews. We stopped in Nashville on the way for some BBQ. Just a note for those of you who want to travel and go to restaurants from Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, a lot of them have bad reviews. We went somewhere we found on Urban Spoon and it was a great success. We shard BBQ nachos, a pulled pork sandwich, mac and cheese and cornbread. It was amazing. Nashville seemed like such a cool city, we want to go back when we go on a tour of the South.

We eventually got to the hotel we booked...and it was NOT good. We had really great hotel experiences until this one. I should have known to leave when I saw a sign that said "no refunds after fifteen minutes." We got to the room and it didn't look too bad, but the bathroom and the linens were definitely sketchy. It probably didn't help that we have been watching so much SVU that we turned every situation into a crime scene. We got out of there as soon as we could in the morning.

We only had a short nine hour drive home. As awesome as our trip was, we are glad to be back. I missed my bed! Our trip was definitely worth it and everyone should go on a road trip at some point! Thanks for following me on our travels, and I hope you post a blog if you go somewhere exciting!
