Classic Waco Biplane- Nashville Tennessee Countryside

While in Tennessee, Jeremy and I took advantage of some things that we can't do with the kids. The highlight of our trip was riding in the front seat of an open-cockpit classic Waco biplane. It was a BLAST!!! I love airplanes and I loved buzzing around the countryside of Tennessee with Jeremy. The view was spectacular! There were a few times when our teeny tiny plane hit some turbulance and it would drop and bipbop around. That did freak me out for a minute. Other than that, it was such a fun experience. This is the end of my marathon Tennessee post. I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends who watched my kids. Thank you Eliza and Tara! I felt a little guilty at times thinking that I was having all this alone couple time and my friends were busy chasing my kids, feeding them, bathing them, and going and retrieving shoes that were thrown out of the backseat window from a moving car onto a busy road. (That would be Chief.) :)
Thanks Tara and Eliza!!!!!






Taking off! Loved it!!


Beautiful day to fly!

This is the Captain of the plane! Do you see him? He sat in the back of us and we were up front. It was amazing!!!

At one point I looked at the airspeed and we were going 100.

Beautiful rolling hills and green.

Jeremy and I have always heard of Piggly Wiggly, but never have went. With a name like that and not sure when we would make it back South of course we had to go and check it out! We bought some gum for Lilly and a couple drinks.
On a sidenote, when I asked the kids what they wanted from TN, Goose said, "An old oil can" Bean said, "Taylor Swifts autograph and some bubblegum." Granny said, " An old bike."
