Last Baby-Free Trip to Tennessee!

I love Tennessee and lucky for me my good friend Shana and her two kiddos live in Seymour, TN now (they moved away for a little while but now they are back). This past weekend mom and I went to visit and have Christmas with them. We ended up leaving on Thursday night because the weather was supposed to be bad on Friday. I am glad we did because it ended up icing pretty bad down there and we were stuck inside all day Friday. Not a bad place to be stuck...funny kids to entertain us and some yummy soup that Shana made. Mom and I said this would be our last trip to Tennessee without a car seat and a baby.

It was so much fun to catch up with Shana, Emma, and Isaac. Mom and I went shopping all day Saturday but did a pretty good job resisting the urge to buy a lot of baby stuff (if you know us you know we LOVE to shop so this was an accomplishment). I bought the baby some leggings, a couple of tank tops (50 cents each...I couldn't resist), and a cute little shirt. Mom bought her a fleece pullover. I took back the camo sheets that I bought at Bass Pro before we knew if we were having a girl or a boy (now that we know it's a girl camo is not really how I plan to decorate the room...she will have a camo chair but that's it). I found a precious little hat at Bass Pro that says  "My First Hunting Hat" so I had to get it and I bought her some cute little deer booties.

We really enjoyed our visit but Sunday we had to leave and come home. On our way we stopped in Kingsport. Who knew the Hobby Lobby (the reason for our detour) was closed on Sunday? Well, I do now. Luckily, we visited Burlington Coat Factory while we were in Kingsport or it wouldn't have been worth it for use to drive 30 minutes out of our way. The Baby Depot inside of Burlington in Kingsport is HUGE! If ours was like it I would have registered there. As soon as we walked in I spotted the swing I had registered for. At Buy Buy Baby it was $129 and at Baby Depot it was $79!! I love a good deal and couldn't resist the urge to buy it. I came home that night put it together. It is adorable! The swing plays 16 songs, has 2 sounds, 4 speeds, and a detachable seat that can be moved around the house which eliminates the need for a bouncy seat. I am really happy with the purchase and hope the baby loves it too!

We wrapped up our trip with a visit to Fazoli's (since we don't have one anymore) and a quick trip through the Pal's drive through so that I could get a tea and a frenchie fry (one of the main reasons I miss living in TN). Hopefully we will be visiting TN again soon with a little girl in tow!
