#3 Eat at 6 Nashville Food Trucks (Part 2)

It's time to check another one off the list!  Owen had a community picnic with a sno-cone food truck, and you could mix your own flavor combination.  I went with strawberry/pina-colada...delicious!


The next food truck I can't wait to try is Biscuit Love.  Hopefully I can track them down soon!  Let me know if you want to tag along!

#10 Go to the World's Longest Yard Sale

The day of anticipation had finally arrived for...the WORLD'S LONGEST YARD SALE!  This yard sale is 690 miles long and cuts through the state of Tennessee.  Christen was up for a road trip, so we ventured over to good 'ole Crossville, TN.


The yard sale was along highway 127 and pockets of vendors had tents set up along the road.  There was quite an assortment of goods, everything from jewelry to camo.  I have a feeling the American Pickers would love this!


My first buy of the day was a rolling pin for Neil (he has become quite the biscuit maker).  I successfully haggled the seller from $4 to $3.25 and walked away with my first "treasurer" of the day!

 

We also met quite a few interesting folks along the way.  Our favorite was a family that truly traveled in style along the route...with a limo!  I mean...what better way to enjoy a yard sale?  Food...drinks...a comfy place to rest if you need a nap.  We almost joined up with this crew!


All in all, it was a great adventure!  We also took a small sidetrip to see the WORLD'S LARGEST TREEHOUSE (okay, I don't know if it is really the WORLD'S LARGEST, but it is really fun to say).  If you have not visited yet, I'd put it on your list for next year!
