Tennessee adventure {Part 2}...

Continued from Part 1...that weekend we continued to relax, hang with fam, and prepare for the crazy week ahead. It was awesome staying at my brother and sister-in-law's this trip, we got to see them more and of course plenty of quality time with my favorite little man :)

two peas in a pod :)

Saturday Morning...carrying "King Hunter" to the living room

Saturday night Dave and I had a date night since we knew it would be the last night before the madness began. We went for sushi, and I know I already said this and posted this picture...but guys it was that good...if you're ever in Knoxville and love sushi check out Kobuki in Turkey Creek. And for my Steppin' Out Saturday post from that night to see what I wore go here...

best.sushi.ever

Sunday we headed to Borders to put up posters for the album release party. It was pretty hilarious walking into the cafe area, the barista that remembered us from before came running at us yelling, "Dave Owens! It's Dave Owens!"...everyone was staring at us trying to figure out what was going on. While we were there, Dave practiced some songs and I updated the blog and caught up online. We talked to a few people that used to come every Friday night when Dave played and made new friends with the people next to us that loved his voice. 

I have to say, being a musicians wife and always in the position where I have to talk to new people has really helped me become much more outgoing...I still have a long way to go, but considering how shy I used to be around new people I'm pretty proud of myself...

Monday was the last day before all the interviews and shows so we hit up Vienna Coffee House in Maryville to put up posters and some coffee action. Again, if you are ever in the Knoxville/Maryville area you guys have to check this place out...it's a very cool coffee shop with a great feel and is just so cozy, love it! And the Muddy Pond Mocha is to die for...

Later we did a little vacuuming, you know, to earn our keep since we were staying so long...Dave had a little monkey on his back the whole time. Love that kid...

Later that night we went to Noodles and Co. with @d_c_davis and her hubby...always a good time :) We didn't get a pic this time though, next time!

Tennessee adventure {Part 1}...

Sorry the Tennessee posts took me so long, promise I didn't leave you all hanging on purpose, things have just been non-stop here...but here goes!

We left Tuesday (May 17th) night, that way we would have a few days the week before all the craziness began to hang with fam, relax, put up posters, etc. It's a long drive, but not as long as it would have seemed if we would have taken our car with no AC...thanks again John! We drove through the night (and when I say we, I mean Dave) and got there Wednesday afternoon...

Pit stop at Panera for breakfast bright and early

Move it or lose it people!

Are we there yet?

After we napped for a bit we got in some quality time with our nephew...I missed him so much! He loves movies and we were staying in his bed this trip, so he just hopped in...

 

The next day we went to Hard Rock in Gatlinburg to put up posters for Dave's show the next week...I had never been to Gatlinburg, it is so pretty up there! Loved it...

Love our new 40th anniversary glasses :)

That night we took Jessica (my 12 year old sister-in-law) to dinner, I can't believe how much she has grown since we were there last, she gets prettier by the day...

Don't they look so much alike?!

On Friday we headed to 106.1 The River for Dave to do an interview with Bruce Patrick. It was a lot of fun and the interview turned out great...

When we went home we hung out with our nephew before heading to Chedders with him and Dave's brother. I'm so glad Hunter likes all the movies we sent him for Christmas and his birthday! It's too fun to watch them with him and try to answer all of his questions about different things...

Jen's Bachelorette Party Pics...

I thought I'd give you guys some fun pics from this weekend to look at while I'm still sorting through all the pics from Tennessee and getting my thoughts together for those posts. To read about what we did for the party see my Steppin' Out post from Sunday...

Steppin' Out Saturday {2}

Steppin Out Bachelorette Party style...

So last night was my besties Bachelorette party! A few other ladies and I put together a fun night out for her...if I do say so myself...and I do :) She opened gifts and we had some snacks at the soon to be sister-in-law's house and then headed in a limo to Drunken Fish in the Power and Light District to have some sushi. Next we hit Howl at the Moon- I had never been there before, but it was a dueling piano bar, too fun. We then headed to Shark Bar for some dancing...

 

Bride-to-be and I :)

 I can't believe her wedding is less than 2 weeks away now! I can't contain my excitement...Hope you all had a fab weekend and I can't wait to blog this week about Tennessee and do my first vlog!

Linking up with Harper's Happenings...
