We stopped into Goo Goo Chocolate and took the Taste of Goo Goo class where we all got to make our own Goo Goo Cluster by hand. I didn’t know any of the history of Goo Goo Clusters but they were the very first candy with more than one ingredient! The first candy bar!
Spotted the Nashville Party Wagon! 🚜
Ryman Auditorium
We visited the Ryman Auditorium and saw the birthplace of country and bluegrass music. It seems fitting that the Ryman was originally built as a tabernacle, because walking around it and thinking of all the amazing performances that have been there felt nearly spiritual. 🎶
Delightful cappuccino at Drug Store Coffee in the Noelle Hotel in downtown Nashville. ☕️
We’re in Nashville so of course we should go to the Wildhorse Saloon and learn how to do the Boot Scoot ’n Shuffle! We all took their complimentary class together and were scootin’ and shufflin’ with the best of them. Mazie was a natural!
Space Camp
We had a fun weekend at Family Space Camp! 🚀 Our program included runs in the Multi Axis Trainer, the 5D weightlessness trainer. We ran an entire simulation of a Space Shuttle mission where Tyler was EECOM, Mazie PAYCOM, Tammy CAPCOM, and I was FDO. I got to do the countdown to launch. 🤩 We got to see an incredibly impressive planetarium showing as well as a great IMAX experience on the International Space Station. We also learned a bunch about NASA’s Artemis program. And the whole time we got to see a real Saturn V and Saturn IB rocket, as well as a capsule that went into space and a moon rock. And we got great astronaut suits.
Thingelstad Family is ready for our mission! 🚀
I asked everyone to give me a “stoic” look for the picture. 😊
Mazie did the Multi-Axis Trainer at Space Camp today. She reported it was fun and did not feel dizzy at the end.
