April 3: Ben & Jerry's, Baskin Robbins, Ukes and a Fedora

Lee and I went to Nashville tonight, in an attempt to go to Ben & Jerry's for free scoop night. We've had Ben & Jerry's ice cream before, but never from a scoop shop, and never a free scoop, so it was a perfect "new thing".

Unfortunately, we had lots of trouble finding parking because it was near Vanderbilt University and all the lots nearby required school permits.

After a while of looking for parking, we finally decided to park at Centennial Park and realized Ben & Jerry's was still 1.2 miles away. The 8:00 cutoff was getting close by this time, and there was a long line, of course, so we just went back to Franklin, to Baskin Robbins downtown. We got our ice cream and walked around a bit. A musician was performing "When I'm Sixty-Four" by the Beatles at Mellow Mushroom, so we walked that way to check it out. By the time we got there he was packing up, but we talked to him for a while and he is a huge Beatles fan! He plays the ukulele for a lot of his Beatles covers, and apparently the Beatles really liked the uke, and most of them played it. I like it too, and it's funny that I played a little on the way to Nashville tonight before we met this guy.

We still had fun, even though we didn't make it to B&J. I still did a couple new things, and it was a beautiful night! Also, I bought Lee a fun fedora at Dollar Tree, and he loves it!
