Over the summer the fam and I took a long weekend trip to Nashville and we had the best time. Nashville is known to be a Bachelorette/Bachelor party destination so I didn’t really know what to expect going with a kid, all that being said we had a blast and found plenty of things to do. Below are all the things we did as well as a list of our readers favorite spots and things to do in Nashville!
Pinewood Social
33 Peabody St
A super cute bowling hall/restaurant that serves the most delicious food, cocktails and has also a really cute cafe. We loved it.

Walk up and Down Broadway Street
Broadway is a major thoroughfare in the downtown area in Nashville, Tennessee. It includes Lower Broadway, an entertainment district renowned for honky tonks and live country music. The street is also home to retail shops, restaurants, dessert spots, tourist attractions, and a few hotels.
Live music literally ALL day. We didn’t go into any of the local bars as we were with my little Mia, but it was still super fun people watching and hearing the music while walking around.
We ofcourse went into as many shops as possible to try on cowboy boots!
Johnny Cash Museum
119 3rd Ave S
I am a huge Jonny Cash fan so we had to go check out the museum in Nashville! Loved it.
