We're leaving for our trip to Nashville tomorrow morning. I am excited because:

1) My sister Mary is going with us. I love me some Mary.
2) I haven't been to Nashville since I became an adult.
3) We are going to see our friends A&T.
4) Our grandparents really wanted to go to the Grand Ole Opry, and so I made all the plans for us. Now I am Favored Grandchild.
5) We made new mix CDs for the trip and get to try them out.
6) On Monday, May 5 my sisters and I will make our national TV debut on a home decorating show, and this trip will make the weekend fly by. Hey, who doesn't want to be on TV?
7) I love road trips. The car we are taking has leather seats, is spacious and has a pretty decent sound system, all of which make for an appealing ride.
8) I get to take off work tomorrow. 4-day work weeks are the best!
You notice I haven't mentioned the Opry. I could care less about the show itself. Sorry, but it's not my thing. The trip itself is the good part.
