We moved from Florida to Tennessee in 2001. All signs point to the fact that we will probably retire here -- by choice. We L O V E Nashville! Our favorite places to live are just south of the City -- we've had houses in Brentwood, Franklin, and Spring Hill. And we have properties in Leipers Fork, Cookeville, and Lewisburg. This site is where I share my best tips for moving your family to Nashville and/or visiting Nashville for the first time -- with the ultimate goal of helping you find fun things to do in Williamson County and Davidson County. When I'm not out & about enjoying the Nashville area, you'll find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites). To date, I’ve written over 500 articles on this site! Many of them have upwards of 100K shares.

If ice sculptures are your thing... you'll love those found at Opryland's hotel and Country Christmas festivities. And, if you ever have the opportunity to head upstate New York in February, then you'll want to check out Saranac Lake's Winter Carnival (near Lake Placid).

A handful of realtors in our area are going above and beyond to keep local residents informed about home sales in Franklin, Tennessee. I, for one, am thankful for their efforts. I especially like Gennifer Mallard and Diane Mason... here's why.

I am grateful to musicians like Third Day and Franky Perez who make the full-length version of their songs available for download on their websites. No 30-second audio clip can have that same impact... Case in point: we probably would have never discovered Third Day's music were it not for the full-length songs available for download from their website. Ever since that day, we've been HOOKED!
