Road Trip to the Parthenon with Kids

September 7, 2010 Lana 4 Comments

I’m doing my best to make my kids like football!  I love it!  Well, I like it on T.V.!    It means cooler weather, team-work, and good food!

Side note:  If you want an easy lesson in football – go here for Football 101!  It will make you be the envy of the party!

Growing up we were LUV YA’ BLUE fans!  (Houston Oilers!)  That was a long time ago – for those who were wondering.  Houston Oilers have moved to Tennessee and eventually became the Titans.  Which made no sense to me!   Tennessee meant guitars and mountains to me.  Not Greece.

Until we made our latest visit.

Nashville was is nicknamed “Athens of the South” because of all the schools.  I had no idea!

Thus, the name Titans!  (I still secretly call them the Oilers – because I will always Luv ya’ Blue!  I will eventually get over it – Houston now has the Texans but it is still not the same.)

I love Tennessee!

(My Dad’s family comes from Tennessee and we still wonder why they left that beautiful place.  Crazy relatives – We all got them!)  I’m just glad my family thinks we are the sane ones – you know the ones with ALL the kids.  HA!

We stopped by the Parthenon!  The only one that is full-scale replica.  LOVE IT!
Parthenon1

My kids were standing where everyone apparently walks their dog in Nashville.  It was stinky!!!

Parthenon2

By the way, if you ever get to go visit…there is a parking lot right by the building so you can skip the stinky side.

Parthenon3

But, you might miss this hill.

Parthenon4

It is beautiful!

Parthenon5

What Mom – wouldn’t want some photo ops?

Parthenon6

I mean – just look at the photo…all the possibilities!!!

Parthenon7

We love visiting places from all over the world!  It just warms my heart that my 4 year old knows has seen Eiffel Tower and the Parthenon without leaving the United States.

Parthenon8

Look at the ceiling!  Gorgeous!

Parthenon10

Princess eats it up!

Parthenon12

I’m so thankful for my hubs especially since he “gets” me and my many many many love languages that change hourly.
Parthenon13

I had more pictures of this guy…some with a shirt and some without.

Parthenon11

I just lovemy5kids!

Blessings to you!  You are loved!
