Wildfires Change Our Plans: Canada to Nashville Road Trip + What We’re Doing in Music City

Brittany and Josh share how wildfires and hazardous smoke in Wisconsin forced them to cancel a planned trip to Thunder Bay, Canada, and pivot to a 10–11 hour road trip to Nashville, Tennessee. They talk through early planning for a five-night trip with four full days, including the challenge of finding a hotel near Broadway due to steep overnight parking fees. They discuss expectations around Nashville’s music scene, focusing on exploring beyond Broadway, and list activities they’re excited about: Nashville hot chicken (including a Reds hot chicken mac-and-cheese crunchwrap), speakeasies, escape rooms, Tennessee whiskey distillery tours (Big Machine and Nelson’s Green Brier), a drag brunch at Music City Dolls, haunted/booze tours, breweries, a plantation-focused Journey to Jubilee tour, a late-night burlesque show at Skulls Rainbow Room, possible hiking, and a make-your-own perfume/cologne bar.
