The American Girl Store

I obviously do not have a little girl, yet the little girl inside of me jumped at the invitation to attend a Birthday bash/ Road Trip for my best friend's little girl.  We packed the car and headed to Nashville to check out the new American Girl Store and celebrate.

There were 4 ladies and 2 little girls but the 4 hour drive  felt like there were 100 little girls. They were so excited and the long ride crammed in the back was killing them. I surprised both of the girlies and decorated the car with balloons, signs, steamer and  goody bags filled with fun traveling games, coloring sheets
 ( of American Girls) and snacks. However, the games, snacks and coloring lasted maybe an hour!!!...lol

They played with their dolls and entertained each other the best they could for the remainder of the long trip.The sound of their sweet giggles was priceless.

Once we arrived at our hotel destination, I'm pretty sure I lost a little of my hearing from all the screams of excitement that was going on the in back seat. To say these girls were thrilled to be there was an understatement. The hotel was FIRST CLASS. Upon entering our room, each girl found their very own Doll bed, blanket and pillow! And then they were  greeted with milk and cookies. ..WOW!!!

After we got settled in and the girls set up their area for the dolls,we freshened up and ventured out for dinner. We decided on a pizza place ( that offered everything)  and ate out-side. It was a beautiful evening. The girls even got ice cream sundaes

By the time we got back to the hotel the girls were so hyped up on sugar and excitement that bed time was no where in our future. We all stayed up late laughing like we were teenagers at a slumber party!

Day 2- was jammed packed with fun,  swimming ,eating lunch and then of course the American Girl Store. We were there all day! The girls shopped and played and dreamed!

Then they set up a hair appointment at the salon and had their dolls get all "Dolled Up" with a new hair due and new outfits. It was the cutest thing
ever! We then had dinner and a BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION in the Bistro. They did an amazing job. The food was delicious, the service was out-standing and the overall atmosphere was dreamy! It was everything a person would expect. It truly brought the little girl out in all of us.

 The girls could not wait to get back to the hotel and play with all their new goodies!! They played hard and then slept hard.

Day 3 we packed it up , played in the elevator, ate a yummy breakfast and headed home.

 It is amazing how a ride home is always so much faster. We stopped by Casey Jone's Village and ate lunch. It was the perfect end to a perfect trip.
I highly recommend the trip to  American Girl to anyone. There are so many location now that it makes it so convenient. Venture out and re-discover your inner little girl!!!!
