| We attended the Wilson County Fair on Tuesday, August 16, 2011. While we are not the biggest fans of this huge yearly hometown extravaganza, but the realitively cool temps, free entry, smaller crowds on a weeknight evening and the promise of yummy food on a stick ( a corndog for Ashlee and chicken for me) swayed us to go. We had an OK time, but realized pretty quick that we really hadn't missed much in the ten years or so since we last attended the fair. |

| We attended Grassy Knoll Movie Night in East Nashville on Sunday, August 28, 2011. The were showing Princess Bride, which I still think is a bit over-rated as a cult classic. But the temps were mild and it was a beautiful evening for an outdoor movie showing with our friends, Nate and Ginny. We had some good beer from Nashville's newest craft brewer, Jackalope Brewing, and some great pizza slices from the Pizzabuds food truck. |
We also attended Vanderbilt's first football game of the 2011 season at home vs. Elon University out of North Carolina on Saturday evening, September 3rd. We had dinner at Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers near the stadium before the game with our friend, Emily, and her parents. Thanks to Em's dad for snagging the free tickets for us. They were good seats just a few rows from the field in the Elon section (Em's dad is friends with one of the Elon coaches). It was a sweaty, steamy night but at least the rainy, stormy weather around the region held off. The game was good with Vanderbilt pulling away in the second half for an impressive first win for the Commodores' new coach, James Franklin.
