ICE! and Opryland Hotel at Christmas

My best friend (most commonly referred to as my wife) is moving to Germany at the end of the month and that makes me VERY sad so I’m trying to see her a couple of times this month since I won’t be seeing her again until Aug when I fly over for a visit. The whole time we were at Campbell I kept saying I was going to go see ICE! at Opryland and I never made it down there for one reason or another and Mari decided she wanted to see it one more time before they moved and another good friend flew back in this weekend to spend more time with Mari also so we headed down and had a blast! We got there at almost 5:30 and it was a perfect time, it obviously gets really crowded because they had 3 different rooms that they moved you through with those line dividers up to keep people organized but when we got there we ended up walking through with a group of maybe 12 people. It was great because we let everyone else get ahead of us and then we could act silly and take all the pictures we wanted.

The ice slides. These were so fun but you couldn’t let your feet drag so we pretty much ended up going down on our backs and you actually pick up some speed so it’s a shock when you hit the carpet!

Savannah and Savannah

It’s Dec and I didn’t post much in Nov because it was such a busy month! We went to GA the weekend of the 18th and N spent some much needed time with his family while I headed on to Savannah to spend some much needed girl time with some of my hunnies that I haven’t seen in a couple (or more) years. Christmas in the South was that weekend so we spent the day shopping. I had my camera and took some pictures as we were crossing the huge bridge but then I never remembered to take any pictures of the 3 of us together!! I really hate I did that!

The next weekend I came home for Thanksgiving with just the girls because the boy had to work and then I went to Savannah again with Aunt Beth, Amy, and Amber. We had a great time and walked all over Savannah. We did a neat Ghost tour of Savannah and I got some good pictures from that.

Our guide Nicademus, he was very authentic. LOL
