Fall Break

This week was Fall Break for the boys. We had several things to get accomplished during the week but Thursday was reserved for Fun Day!

We started Fun Day off by visiting the Ronald McDonald house. When Philip was in the hospital, we lived 45 minutes away from the Children's Hospital. Some parents don't have that luxury. They live miles, hours, states away. The Ronald McDonald house provides housing for those parents who need a safe, inexpensive place to stay for the duration of their child's hospitalization. I wanted to show this House to the boys and see if there were ways we could volunteer in the future. The boys did great as we got a tour of the facility and they even were able to play with a brothers and sister who were there while their other brother was at Vanderbilt.

After that, we headed to lunch at Elliston Place. I had never been to this Nashville staple and it was a fun, casual lunch break.

Then, we headed to the Parthenon! I had told Jackson about the Parthenon in Nashville and about the statue of Athena inside it. He was fascinated by it and wanted to see if it really was a big as I had eluded to.

I don't think it disappointed!

We didn't stay long at the Parthenon - once they saw the statue they were ready to go! But it was a fun experience and I was happy to show them some Nashville history.

They have so much of their Daddy in them! 

Break in the park

There was an old plane and train in the park that we had to explore
