Mother-Daughter Weekend was held at Deer Run Camp outside of Franklin, Tennessee. It is tucked away in nature and seems to be the go to place for summer camp. ☺ When we arrived on the property, I was so happy I had decided to get out of my head and just go. My daughters were on board the moment I told them we would be attending the retreat, and they were counting down the days for us to "camp" out.

Doing new things with my family is on the top of my priority and goals list.  Monster Jam was one of those new things. Last month, we won tickets from the UnboxedMom to attend our first Monster Jam event.  At first I didn't know what to expect and neither did the girls.

Going being the scenes is one of the highlights of taking field trips.  Publix allowed our local homeschool group to see all the happenings behind the scene at one of our local stores.

Our tour guide, weather reporter Kelly Cox,  shared with us that Oprah formerly worked there in her early years.  I was shocked to find out that the girls were maybe the only two children who knew or recognized Oprah.  Since the station is a CBS affiliate, they recognized most of the posters hanging like The Good Wife and Person of Interest because those were two of my favorite shows.  At some point we had even started watching Madame Secretary together as if it was family show.  I will admit it did lead to lots of interesting conversations.
