Summer Fun

Memorial Day = 3 day weekend (except for hospital personnel *sad face)...the pool...grilling out...the start of summer! 
Memorial Day (officially May 28, 2012) is the national holiday commemorating men and women who have fallen defending the US of A. My brother is in the Army Reserve (very proud of him btw) and I know others serving in the Armed Forces. These men and women protect and defend us...hmmm that's a pretty big job...so I def appreciate you! 


My MDW started at a Nashville Sounds baseball game! I'm really not that in to baseball...but I'm down for a cause that gives me a reason to eat/drink stadium food and drinks! I like to put mustard and cheese on my ball park hot dog, in case you were wondering. I can't say I really paid attention to the game and I won't pretend to know anything about baseball...but I can tell you this: the weather behaved, Greer Stadium is nice and parking is not that bad, the Nashville Sounds won 7-6, and the stadium shoots fireworks at the end of each game! All in all....good time with friends.  


I hit the pool up all day Saturday. My soon-to-be-famous Sangrias, my friend's soon-to-be-famous guacamole dip, the pool, and good company = Good Times! After the pool we hit up Broadway Brewhouse in West Nashville....and partook in BUSHWHACKERS. Once you've live in Nashville long enough, you will come in contact with one of these infamous creatures...they lure you in with the sweet taste of a Wendy's frosty...but don't drink this too fast, you may end up with brain freeze! Perfect icy ending to my hot summer day :-)


If you love REAL quality HIP HOP music, then you've got to check out BoomBap at The 5 Spot every 3rd Saturday of the month. Although Nashville is "The Music City", hip hop music events are few and far between. So, I had a GREAT time with friends listening to the musical soundings of Mos Def, Jay-Z, Camp Lo (to name a few), all produced by some very talented DJs. People of all sorts came out...Hip Hop music tends to resonate unity to me. I think everyone can relate and enjoy genuine Hip Hop music. I'm sure this event has been around for a while (last night was my first time attending) and I hope it persists!
