My company offered everyone a free night at Opryland and my night came around last weekend.  We had a great little “staycation” just a few minutes from home!

The Opryland complex is huge – almost 3,000 rooms and connected areas called the Cascades, Conservatory, Delta, and Magnolia.  We checked in around lunch time and while away the afternoon walking through the trails, browsing the shops, and indulging in a few treats… good times!

Now I can cross “waterfall” off my summer bucket list 🙂

Mmm… espresso gelato!

We did the boat ride around the lake… a bit cheesy, but fun!

It was sooo hot and humid outside we didn’t even want to sit by the pool!  There was enough to do inside that we didn’t mind missing out.

There were multiple restaurants and we chose the Italian Rivallo… yum!  We caught the last water fountain light show and finished up with drinks by the waterfall.

The fountain show was pretty spectacular… so after a few pics I put the phone away and just enjoyed it 🙂

We had a beautiful night… so lucky to have such fun places to visit nearby!

 More city sights coming soon as we explore the Nashville area!
