2024 New England Adventure

Our Nashville escapade kicked off with a bang – or rather, a pickleball paddle slap! Spending the day with our grown-up kiddo, Jake, is always a blast. Whether we're conquering mountains or just Netflix-chilling, it's always a riot. But Beth nearly burst with pride when Jake declared his love for pickleball! So, off we went on a pickleball extravaganza, joined by a squad that could rival the Avengers: Jake, his buddy Ryan, and our partners-in-crime, Cody and Chris. Five hours of pickleball later, we were questioning if we had signed up for a tournament by accident!

But wait, there's more! The afternoon took an unexpected turn when Beth's shins decided to stage a rebellion, leaving her floored – literally. As she writhed in agony, Jake whipped out his phone, not to call for help, but to consult the oracle of Google on how to cure sudden pickleball-induced cramps. Laughter echoed through the room as Beth contemplated a future as a human pretzel.

Our day of adventures wasn't over yet! We capped it off with a culinary quest at Cheddar's, where the food was as thrilling as a lukewarm handshake. Then, like detectives on a mission, we cruised through our old stomping grounds to check on our former abode, courtesy of a tornado that had the nerve to crash the party last November. From the outside, it seemed like our old haunt had gotten a facelift – walls repaired, roof patched up, and the landscaping looking spiffy. Now, all that's left is to schedule a rendezvous with the new owner and snoop around to see if they've kept our old hiding spots intact!Leggi altro
