Right on the main drag of downtown Franklin. This place is popular for their oysters but we love it more for their brunch menu. It gets packed quick on weekend mornings so prepare ahead of time!

This Thai food is worth the venture into Nashville, hands down. It’s a little hole in the wall and you’ll find authentic, delicious meals here. If you knew how much we despised driving into Nashville, you would understand how serious we are about this place. Ha!

Barely 5 miles away from home! This gorgeous winery is a must do attraction when visiting this area. Check their website to see their live music schedule. We LOVE their signature wine, Red Fox Red. And go for the sunset, it’s a beautiful place to watch from.

Church
If you’re the church-goin’ kind of type, please visit our home church! It’s super cool and laid-back. No need to get all dressed up, our pastor wears flannels most of the time. It’s located a little out in the country (really close to Leiper’s Fork) and we promise you’ll love it. They’ll even treat you to a free breakfast, just let the Greeter volunteers know it’s your first time ;)
