35+ Must See Murals in Nashville

Have you ever been to Nashville?

If you're anything like me, you probably have an idea in your head that the whole city is nothing but country music, but I'm hear to tell you that there's so much more to see and do in Nashville. 

Ok, so yes, country music is BIG in Nashville and its presence is felt everywhere, but this vibrant city has so much more to offer - especially if you love street art as much as I do!

I recently spent a few days exploring Nashville while I was in town for Mom 2.0 Summit and I was in awe of just how much street art can be found all around town. So today I'm sharing the best murals I found. It's only a tiny glimpse of just how colorful the city is, but I only had a few days to explore and I was busy with other fun touristy stuff that I'll be sharing soon. 

If you're planning a visit to Nashville and you love finding colorful murals, read on... 


Nashville is a pretty big city, so I've divided this list into neighborhoods. That way you'll know that the murals in each section are relatively close to each other. The Downtown, SoBro and Gulch neighborhoods are all within easy walking distance of each other, however the 12 South neighborhood will require driving to. I took an Uber between Downtown and 12 South and it cost me around $11.00 each direction. I've also thrown in one Opryland mural in this list. I didn't explore the area an awful lot and I'm really not sure if there are many murals around there, but this one was right by my hotel on the first night and I couldn't resist adding it. Opryland is east of Downtown and will cost you about $20 for an Uber.

Spring Break in Colorado: Indoor Fun


Can you believe that Spring Break is only a few weeks away? 

Wasn't it only just Winter Break? Didn't the school year start, like, yesterday?

If you're in Colorado and planning on staying locally for the break, or if you're visiting Colorado from out of state, I'm here to help you out with some fantastic places to visit while the kids are off school.

Today I'm sharing my favorite indoor adventures with kids. That week off school may be called Spring Break, but that doesn't mean we're guaranteed Spring weather. In fact, in my experience, it tends to be snowy! So it's good to have an arsenal of indoor fun ideas ready for when the weather isn't so great - or for anytime, really. These places are all such fun that you'll want to visit no matter what the weather is like outside!

Let's take a look...
