It’s been almost two years since I moved out of Nashville, taking a camper van (that ended up being sold and then I bought a travel trailer) down to Florida to be closer to family.
I hadn’t been back to Tennessee since the day I left, that is, until I went back to see a few friends while camping on the shore of Percy Priest Lake. Seeing my friends, my previous neighbors, my house, all of that was really nice. It made the trip worth it. But something I didn’t expect happened. From the moment I crossed into Davidson County, the nostalgia I had for the city disappeared… almost instantly. In the two years since I’d been gone, I thought about Nashville a few times a week, I missed parts of it.
I guess falling out of love with Nashville even years before I left was a real thing. On this camping trip, I didn’t even go near downtown. The closest I got was the campground which is on the outskirts of Davidson County, only venturing south to Antioch (a southern suburb) to see friends.
If this trip wasn’t a confirmation that moving to Florida was a good choice at a good time, then confirmations don’t exist at all. I’ve moved on. Nashville has moved on. Oh gosh, now it’s starting to sound like a break-up. Let’s just say we went our separate ways and it was mutual. 🙂 The best part of my trip to Tennessee was discovering a beautiful campground in Georgia. If you have a chance to camp in Cloudland Canyon State Park a bit north of Atlanta, do it! Check out my gallery for favorite pics from that park…
