Feng Birthday

July 12th

The Birthday of none other than Grace Feng!

We met at South Street for a drink in the tree house... the open air felt nice while we were catching up.



Then on the the main event at Kayne Prime

(or Kayne West as some with bad phonics like to call it)


                  Surprised(embarassed) with three 2-ft sunflowers that we sat at the table

Food was good: Canoes of Beef and Tuna to start then we jumped into the main course. You aren't taking advantage of a steakhouse unless you get the Wagyu Filet and Wood Fired Whole Lobster with cream corned brulee and creamed spinach. Since it was her birthday they even brought out a Milk Chocolate Cremoso.

Party Favors that I am sure our fellows diners found amusing... mustaches!

Gifting time! Thanks Jason for the wine and game, but Paige saved it with the princess bag. We thought she needed to make waffles while doing some yoga, those definitely relate.

Time to depart, but not before a great photo opt... and even though we didn't eat the asian cake I am sure it didn't go to waste.

Closer to the Equator

San Salvador, Bahamas

Size 5X12 miles; Population almost 1,000

The purpose of this vacation was to go below sea level for seven days straight... and that is exactly what we did. This place was meant for scuba diving and there is nothing else to do there.

 We stayed at Riding Rock Inn and Marina which is right on the water and a five minute walk from the dock. It is family owned and they are always there willing to answer questions or get anything you need. Every meal is included with your stay (the conch chowder is amazing) and they even had a cookout for America's Independence Day.

The crime rate is zero so we actually left all of our equipment on the boat all week and everyone pretty much left their doors unlocked. It was very laid back.

While 40feet under the water we saw tons of fish of course; yellow tail snapper, groupers, jacks, angel fish, barracuda, blue tang, black durgon, trumpetfish, rock beaty, parrot fish and my favorites the lion fish and drum. We also sting rays and three kinds of shark.. not to brag but we saw a Hammerhead!

The airport is very small, one room actually and right when you walk off the plane you walk through it and onto the island. It is equiped with a phone booth and bar across the street. Since the plane was an hour late we had a little extra time to takes some pictures

Coincidence but I matched their flag!

Last walk along the beach...

Nashville Parks

It was such a nice day we decided to take the puppy to the park...

it turned into a forced photo shoot.

Bicentennial Mall

Then that night we went to hear Big Band Music...

Centennial Park

Detour by The Parthenon

Then I made her hold it...

Bush Fire?

Trying out a new pottery studio...

We get in the car and Savannah finds a new pottery place  called "bush fire", which didn't seem as clever as other ones I have been to (ie. The pottery place, all fired up, painted clay or glazy days) but who cares about the name. Well when we get there I hysterically corrected her, it is actually: brush fire.

She chose a huge cup and coffee inspiration, while I wanted to really get artsy (lol) with my puppy scene... catching a frisbee which can be seen if you look very closely.

Over the Hill

Happy Birthday Mr. Denton!

Since he liked our canvas painting so much we decided that this would be the perfect gift... doing it ourselves made it easy to personalize.

We went to a famous BBQ place that we saw off of "Man vs. Food"... it was quite tasty and man won.

I brought the pup with me on the journey to Knoxville so we took him to the park to play... he loves water as long as it doesn't involve a bath.

Movies in the Park

Every Wednesday during the month of June there will be movies playing at Warner Park...

There are food trucks, tons of parking, and you can take dogs! People start getting there around 4, but the movie plays at dark... make sure to pack a blanket. 

He really wanted to drive... you can't say no to a puppy.

ROWAN

Australian Cattle Dogs are the best!

When chose him from a line up when they all looked white... this is him at 5 weeks!

Car ride home... finally!
