Congratulations to the Centennial High School hip hop dance squad for placing third in the Tennessee state championship. I'm happy for Ella and all her friends, especially as they see their hard work pay off. #dance #hiphop #battlegroundtravel #franklintn #centennialhighschool https://www.instagram.com/p/B55q0hTgr4G/?igshid=9bzhawjd2dc7

A big thanks to Parnassus Books in Nashville for giving Memaw's Maxims a try. This book is a fun collection of sage advice from the old days, and I think it's a great Christmas (or anytime) gift. Lots of great local authors, and beyond, available at Parnassus in Green Hills. Awesome bookstore. Go shopping! #parnassus #battlegroundtravel #newbook #nashville #books #selfhelpbooks #christmasgift #gift #jamesturner #localauthor #parnassusbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B45lrStALzf/?igshid=kxyul5usalmn

Doing a little catching up, and really enjoyed this moment from an early morning hike last month, during a few days away. These old, weathered trees are on the shore of Lover's Key, near Fort Myers, Florida. #trees #ocean #gulf #battlegroundtravel $Florida #beach #water #fortmyers #loverskey #sky #waterandsky #morning https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNcvULgkqX/?igshid=fqdx7prvzcz6

Two years ago was the last time that I visited Notre Dame, that time with my son, Cal. You can scroll back and see my Instagram post from inside the building. Today Cal is 11, and I asked him if he remembers this day, and I'm glad that he does. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the devastating fire today. It's a true tragedy. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwTa6pXBdne/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=evaiijzmmqq

Having fun in Boulder City, enjoying all the art and quirk, on the way to Hoover Dam. Always consider hopping off the beaten path. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuN6p5EBTCp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cro9i9v6vphj

A rare snow in Las Vegas, which didn't last long at the lower elevations. But fun to watch. #lasvegas #desert #snow #battlegroundtravel #palmtrees #jamesturnerauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/BuMMpwlBN7J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sd88z993kkjn

My thanks to my friend Brenda Walden Curtis for now carrying my book at the historic Ben Sutton store in Granville, Tennessee. If you're in Jackson County and want to support a local business (and a local boy) stop by Sutton's and pick up a copy. And take time to look around the store, especially if you've never been. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbLG0IlyYW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hg0h0i34jb5y

I'm very grateful to Parnassus Books for the opportunity to include The Battlefield Guide to Life in their store. Parnassus is an amazing, independent Nashville bookstore, and is one of my favorite places to shop...and breathe. You can find anything you want in this store, and the staff are incredible. I hope you'll shop local and pick up a copy of my book at Parnassus off Hillsboro Road. (Behind Donut Den for you natives.) Thank you Parnassus! #parnassusbooks battlegroundtravel #nashville #readmore #books #shoplocal #selfimprovement https://www.instagram.com/p/BtBhnKIlwmp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tfmh0g22n9lc

Dropping off copies of my "Battlefield Guide to Life" at Handy Hardware in Franklin. Handy Hardware is a great old store (a tradition in Franklin) where you can buy a claw hammer, a Moon Pie t-shirt, and now my book. Go see Andy and Donna Willoughby at the store, and I promise that you will enjoy shopping. #handyhardware #battlegroundtravel #franklintn #eclectic https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs87FwqlxZg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ifscp4x7i6g3

Badwater Basin in Death Valley National Park. This is the lowest dry spot in North America, at 282 feet below sea level. I took this photo last week when the temperature was 116 and the wind was whipping. The picture can't properly convey the pain I was feeling as I stood there. 😎🔥🔥 #deathvalley #deathvalleynationalpark #badwaterbasin #battlegroundtravel #desert #hot #itsadryheat

Often the best part of traveling is the unexpected. Today, as we toured the old state capitol at Carson City, Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval walked past. He spoke to our guide, introduced himself to me and the kids, gave them some special coins of his office, then was kind enough to take a couple pictures and chat. Smiles all around! #nevada #carsoncity #governor #governorsandoval #battlegroundtravel #verycool

Getting a cone (swirled) at the tallest ice cream shack in the world, while enjoying the view of the mountains in Pahrump, Nevada. A great memory from a place we randomly landed in today. #icecream #icecreamstand #pahrump #seemores #battlegroundtravel #nevada
