Pine Tree Night 2011

So...Pine tree night is a tradition me and some of my friends have. We drive to Nashville in the middle of the night and go look at the Gaylord Hotel. Fantastic idea.

The trip got underway about 10:30 last night. All of us met at Winn's house in Collinwood and took his dad's van to Nashville. All eight of us. In a seven passenger van. Very interesting car ride. We arrived at around 1am only to find that the rent-a-cop was onto us. All we had to do was move the car though. Relieved.

The first door we came to was unopenable without a room key so we had to walk halfway around the building to get to the main lobby. Halfway around that building is quite a distance. We finally entered the hotel at the main door with no questions asked. I guess it's good the place is so huge.


It was magical

I'm ready for Christmas.

We stopped at Steak 'N Shake in Franklin at around 5:30am. We had a great meal and a fantastic server, especially surprising for the time of day it was. After dinner/breakfast or whatever it was, we stepped outside to see the sun rising. Then we headed back home to which Emily and I arrived at around 9am. I got up at 4pm.

Night well spent.
