WHY VISIT NASHVILLE ??? Celebrating Christmas in the Heart of Tennessee | 197 Countries, 3 Kids

Hey y’all we are growing up for borders and we would like to welcome y’all to Nashville Tennessee let’s go yooo Welcome to our Channel we are a fun family of five on a mission to visit every country in the world let’s go check into our home away

From home here we go always a fun thing to figure out a new home we’re like literally walking distance to the downtown so this going to be really cool we found this house using home exchange and we absolutely love using home exchange because one you feel like

You’re at your own home and two there’s absolutely no cost so let’s see we got one and then obviously a bedroom back there and down there so loads of space for everyone oh this is it this our home away from home for Christmas we just

Arrived but there is no time to spare we got to go go go hustle hustle let’s go we’re going to go meet we’re going to go to this topnotch event because naille is like where homes a lot singers so we got invited to a very special event you’ll

See we’re going to meet lots of celebrities I can’t wait no I’m just joking we are going to the mam T So Wax Museum and I believe this is our first time doing this it’s something I’ve always wanted to do because you feel like you’re meeting the celebrity or

Seeing them but they’re made out of wax I’ve often wondered how real are they really like we will find out Johnny Cas they look so real like even the hair and everything it’s crazy every celebrity that you see here at Madam tuo’s library or museum has has been endorsed by them

So they go to London to their headquarters and what do they do basically their full body physically and digitally get scanned they get their dental records like everything even the hair is all real yeah and their size their weight everything so it’s like legit real siiz you can be like oh I

Didn’t realize that person’s so tall oh that person’s like you don’t know Right Me my papa’s twin Kenny Rogers they look so real it’s kind of like freaky almost like is that a person no it’s not it’s just a figure is he your father look at that you guys look like twins Found Justin you know right here that that was amazing yeah and it was really cool because we it almost felt like they were real people and the reason for it is basically the celebrities go to London they get a physical digital copy of themselves so they get basically their height their

Body weight even their dental records their teeth look the same and they use real hair on the people yeah and like Wax fing and they use wax because then you can really see the color of their skin guys we need to take a quick break

In today’s video because I want to say a special thanks to today’s sponsor which is level eight suitcases level eight suitcases we found not too long ago and we are so happy that we have partnered with them because we’ve tried other suitcases we’ve bought crappy cheap suitcases in markets we’ve tried other

High-end suitcases and we’ve ended up with broken Wheels cracked suitcases broken suitcases dented suitcases like literally the works and so finding a suitcase that’s good for our family is like so important because literally it’s our whole life like we live out of a carry-on and a backpack okay so this is

Like really important so what we love here about level eight first of all is they’re really stylish so you can get different colors and everything like that they’re excellent quality they fit in the overhead compartment but we’ve literally put them to the test and this is one of the things that’s hilarious is

When we say we put something to the test we really put put it to the test we brought these suitcases to West Africa okay so if anyone’s been to West Africa you know that putting it to the test is really West Africa because when you’re in West Africa you go on these crazy

Bumpy roads so you’re lugging your suitcase and your wheels on these crazy roads we are going in and out of borders like all the time opening closing them opening closing them putting them in the checked luggage so we didn’t always bring them in the overhead often we put

Them in the check luggage not once do we end up with a cracked a banged up or a broken suitcase which says a lot all the wheels have been intacted after all those crazy rows and what we love about those Wheels is they’re like a 360 quiet

Wheel so they wheel when you’re going through anywhere I’m telling you if you’ve had a suitcase like level eight you’ll know the difference they wheel so smooth and so light like it’s like a lightweight it’s amazing so Julia has a beautiful blue one and it has this

Forward flap that comes out which is awesome I have the same one and you can put your laptop in there and what I think is really cool is when we’re in hotels you can zip it up and kind of lock it up and keep all your safe stuff

In there like your jewelry or whatever it kind of keeps it safe even though the rest of it’s open um Angel has a cool one because hers is like the stylish kind of yellow and black and it has the handle that goes all the way up so it

Makes it really cool for Wheeling Chloe has stylish pink one and we just got a really nice brand new aluminum one for Tyler that is zipperless so it kind of locks in they’re all T approved what else can I say about it it’s amazing level eight also has these little

Organizers which you can put in and they have these little velcro kind of things that you put on for different things that you want to package and that’s always good for traveling if you know travel travel cubes are key and I’m just getting the newest backpack which is

Their Atlas backpack has all these amazing pouches and it’s lightweight and nice and comfortable and I’m so excited to use it so pause the video and go check out level 8 suitcases and use gu wb10 for 10% off your order now let’s get back to our fun video so today is

Looking at me I’m like what and I’m like oh and then I was like what’s the real song again I didn’t remember it for a minute this morning I am out with my grandparents we are going to go visit the Johnny Cash Museum they have here in Tennessee I’m excited because it’s going

To be really neat to see um just some of his life that he had here and I’m going to learn about It was pretty neat you learned a lot about his life it’s mostly just a couple rooms but there’s also some like you could just sit down and watch and listen to some of his songs it’s pretty neat so much fun does it feel good I

Love it and it’s not as cold but it’s nice and snowy it’s going to be white again this is Packy snow like you can make a really good snowball with it one thing you can do here is you can come visit the Country Music Hall of Fame and

Museum so tickets to come in it’s about 27 for an adult and for a kid it’s about 18 okay I want I want I’m so curious I don’t know what this is all about but okay touch the screen there’s four songs to choose from you got M on your face big disgrace kicking your can all over the place singing We Will Rock You you come around again

Say baby I miss you and I swear I’m going to change trust me remember how that L for a day I say I hate you we break up you call me I love you ooh o ooh we called it off again last night but this time I’m telling you I’m

Telling you we are never ever ever getting back to this is Elvis’s Presley gold Cadillac all right we just finished going around the country’s musicians Hall of Fame and I would say I definitely recommend it because you learn all about the different country singers from people like Alis Presley

Two Taylor Swift like modern day two back and day and it was really big so you got to give yourselves a good hour and a half to see it all minimum so yeah pretty cool to tell you something what guess what we just did what just guess the F boyfri

Here we leave from Nashville and we go all the way to Auckland when this Friday how the 30th in 4 days we’ll be in New Zealand wow what we just bed flights but how like the flights are expensive we did it but like with what airline American Airline you excited

Yeah why didn’t you tell it’s exciting e very we literally just booked them we just found January this Sunday we’re going to be this Sunday yeah this Sunday we’re going to be in New Zealand that’s crazy we leave from here and it does a layover in

Dallas going to be there for New Year’s new we’re going to be on the flight on the flight wow and it stops over in Dallas to be honest we didn’t know how we were going to make it happen because flights were outrageously expensive during especially during this Christmas

Time perod I thought like how are we going to get there so we were thinking we could go e to through here and we can drive to Tuson Arizona then from there drive to California which would be like a whole 30 hour drive and then this

Whole shimi thing or you can go from here to Europe and blah blah blah but we just found flights from Nashville so we don’t have to do any trans it’s a miracle from, difference H and we got it for 500 each from here how’s that even possible

It doesn’t make it it’s a miracle for God it’s a miracle it’s today we are going to be doing a really fun tour with the Oldtown Trolley Tours where you can hop on on Hop off at all the different stops here around Nashville so since we’re staying right around the corner

From the belmo Mansion this is our first point of Interest it is a mansion that’s like Italian inspired if you will it’s from the people Joseph and ala lcia built in 1853 and it’s right on the Belmont University campus they had a deer park a zoo an art gallery green

Houses and a water tower in a bowling alley yeah to go visit the Belmont Mansion is about $18 ERS and small children are free that was really interesting to go through the whole house you can go through every room and see and read all the different pieces of

Furniture that she had and really to understand the amount of wealth that this lady actually well had because she was one of the wealthiest ladies here in Tennessee this was the biggest home at the time in Tennessee so you imagine it was like the estate they would have had

This beautiful view there would have been no homes nothing around just all fields and it was was at a high point so the views would have been spectacular and it was actually their summer home all of the homes they’re just like normal homes but they’re the recording studios of all these the Artist but there’s a store over there and they sell boots for $188,000 that’s their most expensive pair vitt but for boots nothing has a price tag because if you have to ask a price some means you can’t afford it and this is where we are we’re in the place called the clutch it

Used to be an industrial area and then in 2007 there was a recession and now it’s the expensive Area So the tour we’re on has about 13 different stops it takes about an hour and 40 minutes to do the whole circuit if you will so you can pick and choose if you want to get off and usually they about every 20 to 30 minutes there’s another trolley to pick you up it’s

Really interesting because he keeps explaining really fun facts as we bu drive by each building so one that I just learned and I had no idea is that Oprah Winfrey started her career here as a news not even that a weather girl basically and then she became the first

New news broadcaster as a female um African Aman and she was 19 and she was 19 when she started her career yeah this is the capital state building of Tennessee I believe it’s one of the 12 ones in the US that does not have a dome

So y all know down here in the South we live our chicken but to balance out our diet we ought to eat some vegetables and mac and cheese is considered one of them so this is their Farmers Market unfortunately is closed but it looks like it’s family run and you can find

Like a lot of fresh produce this is the marathon Motorworks I believe it’s free of entrance and you can see a lot of really cool things so in here it used to be a cotton mill in 1885 and now it’s turning into like a museum and exhibition that you

Can walk through and basically look at all the old uh infrastructure that they we’re going upstairs this place is really big actually and this is Distillery and I think they do tours so we’re going to go check it out so across the street you can come in

Here and we’ve got all the old cars and it’s really cool to see you like Christmas I don’t like it it’s so nice it’s like a real Christmas wine and it’s so yummy I think someone said something but he needs number IND decent yes kind of it’s our second

Most popular food type but food’s not quite the number one all right guys I’ll go ahead and give you the hint you guys are all thinking pretty good it’s to our left here if you look at this sign should give it away medical medical is actually the number one industry of Nashville and

That does surprise a lot of people here for the first time from there’s actually over 500 different medical facilities around Nashville okay so the thing we drove by earlier was the parant and it’s a one to1 replica of the one and aens Greece now the reason for this is

Because in 1896 there was this World Fair where they had most of the monuments like they they yeah they had it even in each Egyptian like pyamid pyramid and all sorts of things like thatum and the reason for it is fa was because it’s like their 100 years and it

Was actually like a six Monon fair so it’s pretty huge and the reason why they call it the Athens of the South is all because of their education because they have some of the most pristine and uh Educational Systems and it was the first state I think to uh Institute free

Education so that’s why they kept it up there because it’s like their nickname so they’re like yeah let’s keep it so today we have bright blue skies there a lot warmers here in Broadway everyone’s on and about walking and enjoying it all this is all the country singers and

They actually used to have Taylor swi but because she changed more pop let’s say they took they switched to a person she used to be here pretty interesting though so we saw where Megan Trainer wrote that all about that base song like she actually wrote it there so that was pretty cool the

Music R is full of you know the record Studios and all that then I always we saw where in the clutch area Taylor Swift at the age of 7 17 bought an entire floor now I think she only owns like one of the apartments up there but

At 17 she was able to buy it at all if you can imagine um what else did I learn and see just so many fun facts I would definitely recommend it well that was a nice tour and the lady on the bus was so informative and told us all sorts of fun

Interesting facts about the different spots here in Nashville and our Christmas with the inlaws came to an end we said our goodbyes until next time so nice to I love you love you too oh Miss Chloe bye love you guys love you guys bye thanks for watching make sure you

Hey, guys! Today, we’re taking you on a whirlwind tour of Nashville, the music capital of the world, where we celebrated Christmas in 2022. Get ready for a ride through this vibrant city as we keep it real.

In Nashville, we stumbled upon an amazing home exchange just a stone’s throw from downtown. It had everything we needed for a fantastic Christmas with our family.

Christmas in the cold was a new one for us, but what made it extra special was having Papa and Nana with us. They came all the way to Nashville for some good ol’ quality time during the holidays.

Despite the freezing weather, we packed our days with loads of fun. First up, the Nashville Madame Tussauds Museum. Standing next to some of the world’s biggest superstars was unreal.

We also did some grandparent-approved sightseeing and hit up cool shops, bars, and restaurants in downtown Nashville. Sure, we’re not of drinking age, but soaking in the city’s energy was a blast.

Christmas morning meant presents galore! Everyone got some awesome gifts, and the festive spirit was high.

But you know us, we’re always up and about. Next on the list was the Nashville Enchant Christmas village. Even with subzero temps, the twinkling lights and sweet treats made it pure magic.

Two iconic stops we couldn’t skip were the legendary Johnny Cash Museum and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Music lovers like Chloe had a blast, and you’ll even get a sneak peek of her singing in this video.

Miracles happen during Christmas, and we got our own – last-minute tickets to New Zealand! Chloe was over the moon.

With a few days before our Kiwi adventure, we hopped on the Old Town Nashville hop-on-hop-off Trolley Tour. It was about 1.5 hours of history and fun, with 13 stops. Highlights included the Marathon Motor Works Museum and the Belmont Mansion, owned by one of Nashville’s wealthiest women.

But alas, all good things come to an end. Our New Zealand trip was beckoning, and it was time to bid farewell to our grandparents, who were heading back to Canada.

Stay tuned for more incredible adventures, and remember, every day is a chance to explore! ✈️🎶🎁
