Nashville Adventures - Day 5

Wouldn’t you know it … more rain this morning! 🌧️

Perfect day to catch up on some to-dos, including taking the Jeep in for repairs. The double back seat refused to fold down, and after some deep dives into forums, we learned it’s likely a cable issue. So, off we went to Jake’s, where we hung out all morning like true regulars. The verdict? Yep, it was the cable, and they have to order a part. Ugh! This means another thrilling visit tomorrow!

In the afternoon, we headed to Lowe’s to order flooring material for the RV. Beth is over the moon! We’re swapping out the carpet for some fancy engineered hardwood flooring this fall. And since we were in the area, a visit to the new Costco in Hendersonville was a must. Shockingly, we escaped with our wallets mostly intact—under $50! A true miracle!

The best surprise of the day? Jake texted asking if we were up for some pickleball tonight. I think he’s officially hooked! Beth’s excitement was off the charts! With the sun now out, we dashed off to Gallatin, hoping to snag a court. Huge shoutout to Beth’s friend Cathie, who joined us on a moment’s notice! Fun times ahead! We had a blast on one of the dedicated (albeit a bit worse for wear) pickleball courts and played several games until it got dark. Thankfully, no lights were needed since all the pickleball courts on the tennis courts were packed.

What a day! Rain, repairs, flooring, Costco adventures, and pickleball—life’s little surprises keep things interesting! 🌧️🚗🏓Read more
