Summer Bucket List<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice Cream Crawl:<\/a><\/strong> Stop by our favorite ice cream shops in Nashville and vote on our favorite flavors. A few of our stops will be Bobbie’s Dairy Dip<\/a>, Jeni’s<\/a>, The Ice Cream Bar<\/a> (20% off with the Music City Partner’s Card<\/a>) and Mike’s Ice Cream<\/a>. We even have a score card listed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kayak the Harpeth<\/strong>: We did this last year and it was so much fun! Can’t wait to spend more time in the river. You can read about our adventure here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SoundWaves<\/a>: Gaylord Opryland’s SoundWaves Water Resort<\/a> is the ultimate staycation! We’ve loved visiting this indoor and outdoor dream, there is something for everyone! And don’t miss their special offers for local residents: Davidson County Residents save up to 40%* off the SoundWaves Experience overnight package (Code L9Z), or Tennessee Residents save up to 25%* off (code M16).

Host a Lemonade Stand<\/strong>: My kids are quite the entrepreneurs and love making lemonade and cookies for our neighborhood friends to stop by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheekwood Children’s Garden<\/a>: This new additional at Cheekwood is the perfect way to spend the afternoon using your imagination and getting some fresh air! (Save $15 off membership with the Partners Card)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Frist Museum<\/a>: My kids love creating in the Martin ArtQuest center. Looking forward to the museum opening in the beginning stages on June 22nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catching Fireflies:<\/strong> There’s nothing sweeter than this summertime tradition <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picnic at the Park:<\/strong> Dinner is always more fun outside! During the summer, we prefer eating most of our meals outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midnight Sun Scavenger Hunt<\/a>: Looking for a unique way to explore Franklin with the family? Discover history throughout downtown Franklin with a fun, family-friendly horse scavenger hunt! As you solve a set of clues to find each horse statue, you will find yourself standing in a spot of historical significance in shaping the history of both Franklin and the United States. Stop by the Visitor Center in downtown Franklin to pick up your Midnight Sun brochure (or download the brochure on their website<\/a>) to follow the clues and complete the hunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mural Scavenger Hunt<\/a>: Nashville is full of beautiful murals! Check out my mural guide with murals broken down by neighborhoods and with addresses. Grab your selfie stick and get ready to take some fun photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creek Play:<\/strong> Summers are better in the water! Middle Tennessee is so fortunate to have lots of creeks to stomp around in! Our family loves catching crawdads, skipping rocks and beating the heat in local creeks. A few favorites are Garrison Creek, The Harpeth entrance across from Carnton in Franklin, The Harpeth entrance at Pinkerton Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor Movie: <\/strong>Pop some popcorn, set up an outdoor movie in your backyard. Or visit Movies Under the Stars<\/a> or the Stardust Drive-In<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
