Today it was both cold and dreary, which was not good ... because we had plans for an Easter Egg Hunt! We went to The Hermitage for their annual easter egg hunt. The Hermitage was the home of Andrew Jackson from 1804-1845 and is a National Historic Landmark. I am sure the property and building are lovely, but we were FREEZING and huddled together as we awaiting the beginning of these egg hunts. It was miserable. I dont know what the temp was when we were there, but somewhere in the 40's.They were angry, but then it was time to start. We got all three kids to be able to go together (should have been broken up by age groups) and each kid must have gotten 100 eggs. Not many other crazy people stuck it out like we did. The bad news was that lots of the eggs had stickers (boo) and the rest had coupons. We redeemed the coupons at the store for some pencils (kids were happy) and GooGoo Clusters (which I ate). We also received coupons for a local yogurt shop. This turned out to be a bit of a scam (because I didnt read the fine print) and we could only use one coupon per group. So with three kids ice creams, we didnt really save a lot of money. However, the kids were super happy with the outcome of this morning in the end.
After the Egg Hunt we followed another Nashville tradition. We got a huge bag of candy from Savannah's Candy Kitchen and took it to the bar. Kids ate candy and Aunt Jean and I got to hang out for a bit. At least till the sugar buzz wore off.

We wrapped up the night with dinner at the FGL House, but the kids had a tough time making it through the meal. It was a long day for everyone!
