That should give you an idea as to what to expect upon arriving and on a daily basis for the “family dinner meetings”. There’s a good chance that you’ll catch a case of the 3 day giggles, whether you planned to or not. We’re heading to Nashville to have serious fun as a family, not be serious. So be sure to pack your funny bone and sense of humor. Grandma Joanne says it sounds like a triathlon. If it does to you too, we suggest that you bring tennis shoes, a water bottle and then just keep a steady pace. No sprinting, we don't want you to tucker out before the end of Sunday. However we promise that no one will suffer from a case of the "I'm bored".
