Last updated 4/1/25 If you love books, then you understand the fun that only browsing through a bookstore can bring. For Independent Bookstore Day, I wanted to put together a list of bookstores to visit across Tennessee. The only problem is that I haven’t managed to visit enough bookstores in Tennessee (yet), so I asked…
Dunbar Cave State Park is located in Clarksville. The park is unique because of the 8-mile cave complex it is home to. For our goal of visiting all 59 state parks in Tennessee, we visited Dunbar Cave State Park on an unpleasantly cold day in January. However, this wasn’t our first time in the park….
12 South is one of my favorite areas in Nashville! The area is full of so many great shops, and it’s easy to walk around. While you’re there, you’ll absolutely want to stop for a meal, and there are lots of great options. I haven’t eaten at every single restaurant in the area yet, but…
April is one of my favorite months in Nashville. It’s not super hot yet, and generally, the crowds are still lighter than they are in the summer. The events in Nashville also start picking up this month. There’s everything from the East Nashville Beer Festival to Independent Record Store Day. If you’re looking for even…
Long Hunter State Park is one of the closest state parks to Nashville (except for the very urban Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park). The park is a great spot to get out of the city without needing to go very far! We kicked off our mission to visit all of Tennessee’s State Parks by visiting…
Nashville’s 12 South might not cover a huge area, but it’s packed full of some of the best that the city has to offer. And, it’s also walkable, which makes the experience even nicer. As a Nashville local, I’ve put together a list of the things you shouldn’t miss while exploring 12 South. I love spending…
In Nashville in March, spring might be approaching (or possibly already here, depending on how the weather is going this year). Nashville does, in fact, have four seasons, so we get pretty excited for the change from winter to spring. If you’re looking for things to do in Nashville in March, I’ve got ideas for…
You’re here because you want to know the best spots to eat in Downtown Nashville. As a Nashville local, I’m going to give you my best advice, but I also want to make sure you know that locals don’t usually go out to eat in Downtown Nashville that often. Parking is expensive, and the food…
Nashville slows down a bit in the winter, but there are still plenty of things going on in February. Crowds are thinner than the rest of the year with the exception of Valentine’s Day activities. The weather is probably cold and kind of dreary (possibly with snow some years), but that just means you’ll want…
Last Updated: 3/26/25 We love getting outdoors, and there are so many ways to spend time outside at Tennessee State Parks! Somehow even though we’ve been in Tennessee for a number of years now, we’ve only been to three state parks. Starting in 2025, we’re going to fix that by visiting all of the 59…
