Today was the COOLEST day ever!

(Except for the day of my wedding, of course.  Sort of.)

I mentioned earlier that we were going to be visiting the HGTV studio today.  What I did not fully understand is that not only was it the HGTV studio, but also was the home of GAC, Food Network, DIY, and InStyle.  OHMYGOD.  It was the coolest place EVER.  Of course, being a studio freak, I ate it up. 

OH!  And the guy giving us the tour?  Totally a producer guy for.. ready?.. Nickelodeon’s Hey Dude.  OHMYGOD, right?!  He had pics from the taping, and I was barely containing myself. 

We took him to lunch at some steak restaurant, where he just tickled me pink.  He was just an all-around cool guy.  Reminded me of my dad.

Then we went and met one of Bryan’s oldest customers.  We toured her facility, chatted for a bit, then retreated for another two hour nap.

Tonight, I made poor Bryan drive an hour to an outlet center, in the hopes that I’d get some cheap maternity clothes.  But, instead, it was just an outdoor strip mall that had the same selection and prices we could get back home.  Bastardo!

I’m sure we’ll go swimming before bed, and then tomorrow, we’ll head up into the mountains.  I’m loving this vacation stuff.

Till then!

Greetings from Knoxville!!

Y’all, I cannot even begin to tell you how incredibly wonderful it has been ALREADY to be away from town.  For instance.. we took a two hour nap yesterday!  TWO HOURS. 

And then.. and this is truly worth noting.. we stayed up past midnight.  I can’t REMEMBER the last time we were both awake after midnight, but I’d easily put money on it being New Year’s Eve.

We went swimming last night at eleven o’clock.  Why?  Because we could!  How awesome IS that?!  Very damn awesome.

We ate dinner downtown, in a local brewery.  I had some KILLER soft pretzels with beer cheese.  I know, beer cheese sounds really gross. (Unless you are Sarah, then it sounds like a challenge.) It was actually VERY good.  It was also the sunset concert in the park downtown, so we got to walk around with all of the summer students of UT.  Good times were had by all.

Today, we’re heading to the HGTV studios and meeting one of Bryan’s oldest customers.  I’ll write more tonight.

Hope HuntsVegas is holding up without us!
