Country kind of 4th of July

Anthony is a very passionate man and is very excited about things. In this instance, he was passionate about The Mavericks. If you don't know The Mavericks ask Anthony and he will tell you about them, their awards, the music style, and will play the music for you.

After the concert and staying in downtown for a little bit, cousin Heather came and picked us up and we got some good family time. It was great getting to meet Matt, Sarah, Savannah, and Noah.

When we returned to Florida, we got on the road and headed straight to Panama City Beach for some Bennett Family Beach Bonding. We got to see Ben, Bill, Dickie, Mark, Annie, and Judi. Other than Anthony's cell phone getting ruined in a 'boating emergency' and his prescription sunglasses going swimming, it was great trip. We had fun getting to see everyone and it reminded us how fun summers on the water can be.

We were going to be fancy on our much anticipated trip to Nashville for The Mavericks so I made Anthony get a shoe shine. He openly LOVED it. It was super cool... and my grandpa Allen was a shoe shine boy in San Francisco (that is just a random fun fact).

Our hotel was right across the street from the Titans Stadium. GO JAGS!

Trying to save money and going to the FREE Country Concert for 4th of July. We stayed near downtown and walked over the river to ALL the action. OMG... we went during the hottest summer they've had in years! It was a 100 degree+ heat wave but we survived!

Anthony loved the Country Music Hall of Fame BUT there was a Taylor Swift exhibit that got him real upset.

Really cool hotel made out of an old train station in downtown Nashville, TN.

Near Matt and Heather's House - They live near on of Kenny Chesney's house and near the Rehab Center that Keith Urban went to after Nicole Kidman kicked him out! So cool! hehe 

My FAVORITE PART OF THE TRIP :) Not pictured was Cousin Melissa who offered to take our picture!
