August 2024 was a month of celebration, adventure, and lots of laughter! We headed to Nashville to celebrate Ryan's birthday in true Clashy style, with Cameron, Brea, Ryan, Natalie, and me all in tow. Between moonshine tastings, tractor rides, and a stop at Jungle Jim’s, we packed a ton of fun into our time down South. But what made it really special? The time spent with family, and the one-of-a-kind experiences we had along the way.
Nashville Shenanigans – Moonshine, Tractors & Fun Times
First things first—what’s a trip to Nashville without a moonshine tasting? We kicked things off with a visit to one of Nashville’s iconic distilleries, where we sampled some of the finest (and strongest) moonshine in the area. Let’s just say, it was a spirited experience! Next, we jumped on a tractor ride that gave us the perfect mix of laid-back fun and Southern charm. It was a great way to just soak in the Nashville vibe.
Game Terminal – The Highlight of the Trip
The absolute highlight for me though? A visit to Game Terminal. If you haven’t been, it’s a must! This place is a gamer’s paradise, with outdoor yard games and an indoor video game haven. Whether we were throwing bean bags or trying to beat each other’s high scores, we all had so much fun. It was the perfect way to unwind after a busy day, and I loved seeing everyone, young and old, having a blast together.
Golfing & Jungle Jim’s – Because We’re Always Up for a Challenge
After Nashville, we made our way back to Ohio, but not before stopping at Jungle Jim’s. For anyone who hasn’t been, it’s like the ultimate grocery store meets theme park. There’s everything from exotic foods to quirky international finds, and, of course, we had to explore every aisle!
Back home, Ryan, Brea, Natalie, and I spent a day at Blacklick golf course, and let me tell you, there was a LOT of walking. We had a blast. But I have to admit, by the end of it, I was ready to swap my clubs for a comfy chair!
Columbus Zoo – Dino Adventure & Unlimited Soda
One of the most fun-filled days was when Ryan, Brea, Natalie, and I visited the Columbus Zoo. We hopped on a ride through the Dinosaur Island, surrounded by life-sized dinos that made us feel like we’d time-traveled back to the age of T-Rex. And did I mention the unlimited soda? We were living our best lives, sipping on our favorites while enjoying all the wild sights.
A Birthday to Remember
Ryan’s birthday was one for the books, and our trip to Nashville and beyond was full of laughter, memories, a little family fued, and experiences we’ll cherish forever. From moonshine tastings to golf and yard games, we had the best time celebrating together. Can’t wait to see where our next adventure takes us!
