Nashville!

I'm a coordinator for a Drug Free Communities Coalition in Wilkin County, The ATOD Coalition.  At the end of July myself, a coalition member, and two BHS youth joined me to attend the national CADCA (Community Anti Drug Coalitions of America)  in Nashville, TN!  A huge part of the conference is a "National Youth Leadership Initiative".  It's like a week long youth rally that teaches kids how to be leaders in their community.  I attended that with the girls as their advisor and it was an awesome experience.

We stayed at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel.  I can't even explain this place.  It's ENORMOUS.  If you've ever been to Nickolodean Universe in Mall of America that's what the middle of this place is like.  There's restaurants, shops, waterfalls, all in the middle of the hotel.  Amazing.

Downtown Nashville

My travel buddies Kyla and Addy Diaz and Mata Packard:)

The Inside of the famous White Horse Saloon Downtown Nashville...  This is a restaruant!  A full concernt happening on stage while we ate.  They also served the best fried pickles!  Delicious!

Our branded Minors!  They checked IDs at the door and the bouncer wrote "M" on all the  poor minors' hands!

The Grand Ole Opry.  This was just steps from our hotel. 

We saw Lauren Alaina and Rascal Flatts, to name a few, at the Opry.

Minus the 6 hour layover in Chicago on the way home, it was a really fun trip:)
