String City, Hatch Show, Cumberland

Monday was a gorgeous day to wander in Nashville for field-trip stuffs!  So wander and field-trip, we did!  First, we met up with 50ish peeps from our North Nashville Homeschool Group at the Country Music Hall of Fame for a show called String City:  Nashville's Tradition for Music and Puppetry. It was really well done and I saw so much of the co-presenters' well-known quality and vibe - Nashville Public Library's Wishing Chair Productions.  We've been to a number of their marionette shows over the years.

After that, Amy wanted to check out Hatch Show Print! Shop.  As one of the oldest letterpress print shops in America, and a perfect supplement to printing press stuff we've covered last year and this, it was beyond neat to show the kids the whole working operation in live action.  They were even kind enough to give the kids a mini-field trip-chat right there on the spot.

Afterward, we sauntered back across the Cumberland River Pedestrian Bridge and picnicked at Cumberland Park.  This was Lasa's first time there. She was all about the slides as I knew she would be.

This was the first field trip I have had to take toddler along with us on a field trip and it went just fine!  Baby Girl kept up with it all and was alive to all the sights and action.  Getting so big!   This trip was the perfect way to get our heads back into school stuff after Thanksgiving Break.  Easing our way in.  HA!
