Things to Do This Weekend in Murfreesboro + Center Hill Lake Houseboat Adventure
There is a LOT happening around Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee this week!
On this episode of the John & Jen Show, we're talking about the start of the new school year, upcoming road construction and traffic, and our incredible family getaway aboard a houseboat at Center Hill Lake.
We spent a few days on a massive four-bedroom houseboat complete with two bathrooms, a rooftop deck, grill, water slide, plenty of room for the entire family, and even Starlink Wi-Fi. From fishing and tubing to incredible sunsets and a bald eagle showing up for breakfast, this was one Middle Tennessee vacation we won't forget.
We also stopped by Grandma's Hands in Murfreesboro to try their famous cinnamon rolls, peach cobbler, banana pudding, and their rotating Saturday dessert fusions. If you've got a sweet tooth, you're going to want to check this place out.
Then we're running through a huge list of events happening around Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee, including:
- Ultimate Rewind at Washington Theatre
- Back to School Splash at Hop Springs
- Local festivals and peach cobbler tasting
- Rubik's Groove at Hop Springs
- Red Apple Days in Auburntown
- Back to School Drive-In Movie
- School of Rock at Cedar Glade Brews
- Boro Art Crawl
- Foam Party in La Vergne
- End of Summer Bash at Wilderness Station
- Bell Buckle Farmers Market
- Tennessee Titans stadium practice
- Depot District Barbecue Fest in Smyrna
Plus, we debate chips vs. popcorn, dark chocolate vs. milk chocolate, fries vs. tater tots, and the most important question of all: pickles or olives?
