Walking our way around

If you know Sam and myself, you know we are not the most prompt, directionally inclined people.  In fact, I would describe us as fashionably tardy and directionally challenged, in a good way of course!  We would frequently get turned around in Charlotte after having both lived there for 5 years.  Upon our arrival in Nashville, getting turned around in circles was to be expected.  So far we've only had one directional turn around which was of course "at the fault of the GPS."  Still, we decide to explore and walk around until we discover the hidden finds in our neighborhood. 

A few of my favorite finds so far:

Star Bagel- walking distance, great breakfast and coffee, yes please!
Local Taco- small specialty tacos, again walking distance away
Starbucks at Vandy- spacious, lots of plugs and tables!
The greenway/ public golf course 3 blocks from our house
CrossPoint Church- we visited this church that is also very close and loved the environment and teaching! great way to start our weekend.

I love how pedestrian friendly this city is!  Despite the rain and frequent thunder showers, we have spent a lot of time outside in an attempt to become "locals."

For all our Charlotte friends, we are slowly unpacking and adapting well to our new city. 
Thank you again for helping us load up and supporting us through this process.  More to come friends!!

  1. Sounds like a wonderful start! Great food/restaurants are always a good thing especially in walking distance (that could be dangerous as well $$). Look forward to hearing about how the jobs/school start. ~Abby
