Recently, I was tired of being cooped up inside from all the rain and decided to take my son out.
We went for a couple hours of fun at Pump It Up in Brentwood. I had heard about it from another mom I met at The Monkey's Treehouse, another kids play place.
Pump It Up is a place where kids can bounce, climb, and slide on giant inflatables.

I was looking for something new to do with my 2-1/2 year old son on a weekly basis.
We have a small weekly schedule we follow already, but wanted to add something different to it.
After searching online for local things to do I found an article by Meredith here at The Fun Times Guide called Fun Things To Do With Kids In Cool Springs.
The Storytime at Barnes and Noble in Brentwood appealed to me. (And it's free!) So I thought I would give it a try.

Looking for a cool kids birthday theme?
How about fire trucks -- with a real one from the Brentwood Fire Department that will come to your child's birthday party?!
I was at one of those parties recently. My son was invited to a friend's 2nd birthday party on a Saturday morning. His party theme was fire trucks, and he had this theme on the balloons, napkins, and cake.
Then for the big surprise, a real fire truck showed up.
We were not expecting that!

That's right, the Brentwood Skate Center made USA Today's list of the Top 10 Places to Roller Skate in the United States.
The top 10 skating rinks were listed in no particular order, but it's great to see that Brentwood's Skate Center made the list!
Here's an excerpt:
"Where fun meets fitness" is the motto of this skating center in the Nashville area. Fittingly, the facility offers 4 party rooms, along with live DJs and an elaborate lighting and sound system. "Miley Cyrus skates here, and American Idol sensation Kellie Pickler's music video was shot at Skate Center," [Budd] Eversman [of the Roller Skating Association International ] says. One amenity that harried parents may appreciate: supervised child care during daytime sessions.
Check out this list of other Top 10 lists that Nashville, Franklin, and Williamson County have appeared on!
I went to the Day Out with Thomas event at the Tennessee Central Railway Museum with my 2-year-old son.
He loves Thomas the Tank Engine and we couldn't miss this. The big draw is the 25-minute train ride pulled by Thomas himself.
All in all, it was worth the $18 a ticket because my son had a good time.

I love pizza. Who doesn't?
Joey's House of Pizza in Brentwood, TN is a really good one.
The owners are an Italian family from Brooklyn, New York. It's a nice change of pizza flavor for me, since my pizza staples are usually the Mellow Mushroom and Matteo's.
Since I live in Franklin, I never would have come across Joey's House of Pizza on my own if my neighbor hadn't suggested it. It's kind of tucked away in the Maryland Farms area of Brentwood in a strip mall.

The talk all around Cool Springs a few weeks ago was that the Krispy Kreme was closed for remodeling.
How dare they close the doors to their loyal customers?! (I seriously had this talk with 3 people at work one day.)
Well, have you been to check out the Krispy Kreme now that it is re-opened?...
