Saying goodby to Kelli

Buckle up, because our Nashville housesitting escapade was a whirlwind of excitement from start to finish! When Kelli entrusted us with her picturesque farm in Madison, Nashville, little did we know the epic adventures that awaited us.


From the moment we arrived, Kelli enveloped us in Southern hospitality, treating us like family and giving us free rein to explore her charming property. We wasted no time diving into the rural ambiance, cruising around on her ATV like modern-day cowboys, soaking in the fresh air and freedom, whilst downing a much welcomed beer on arrival.



Our journey took us to the legendary Nashville Flea Market, a sprawling treasure trove of eclectic wonders. From vintage finds to homemade delights (including some ahem unconventional treats), every corner held a new thrill, keeping us captivated for hours on end. Back on the farm, we embarked on the wild ride of homeschooling, navigating the highs and lows with determination and maybe a few bribes (hello, Walmart and BB Air Rifle!). Mornings were a blur of caffeine-fueled energy as we tended to the horses, showering them with love and treats before tackling our own workouts amidst the chaos of excitable, drooling dogs.



But it wasn't all work and no play! Oh no, we managed to sweet-talk Kelli into letting us lend a hand with some farm chores, which quickly escalated into a full-blown adventure. From wielding chainsaws to wrangling stubborn stumps with Kelli's log splitter, we tackled every task with gusto, earning ourselves a well-deserved break to explore the vibrant sights of Nashville.

Unloading the hay

Our urban escapades led us to the opulent oasis of the Gaylord Opryland Resort, where we marveled at nine acres of indoor gardens, waterfalls, and presidential suites fit for royalty. And let's not forget our epic journey down Broadway,where the streets pulsed with the infectious rhythm of live music and bustling energy.

But amidst the hustle and bustle, Kelli's farm remained the true highlight of our trip. It wasn't just about looking after her pets – it was about forging connections, immersing ourselves in her way of life, and experiencing the magic of Nashville firsthand.



As we bid farewell to Music City, our hearts were full of gratitude for the memories made and the friendships forged. And while our time with Kelli may have been brief, we carry with us the hope of future adventures and the promise of sharing a slice of our Australian life with her someday.

So here's to Nashville – a city of endless excitement, where every corner holds a new

adventure and every moment is filled with possibility. Until we meet again, Music City, keep the music playing and the dreams alive!
