Enjoying a break!

My last 4 day stretch of work was a beast! But I survived (as usual) and today I'm blogging from Nashville, TN, where the hubby and I are on vacation.  It's been so great to have a break from work and sleep soundly...no dreaming of patients while on vacation.  Just a little R & R. I've been also enjoying my new camera.  It's amazing how much of a difference there is between a dSLR and my old point and click camera.  We visited the Arch in St. Louis yesterday, followed by a tour of the Budweiser brewery before we hit the road to TN.  It was an amazing day with beautfiul weather and exciting sight seeing!  We finished the day off by visiting a good friend of mine from nursing school who is doing a nurse residency program at Vanderbilt's Children's hospital.  We swapped nursing stories quite a bit (talking shop is inevitable with nurses) and enjoyed dinner at 12 South Taproom.  It was delicious!  Excellent beer on tap (of course) and a beautiful night on the patio. Aww, this is what vacation is like! We're looking forward to touring the Children's hospital in the next few days here and more sight seeing! Of course we're planning a night out on the town too!  :)
