Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to celebrating Easter, but instead of the usual Easter egg hunting and bunny motifs, the Goop founder did it her way and went on a quick weekend getaway with her children, Apple and Moses.

"Easter weekend in Nashville," Paltrow captioned a series of images on her Instagram, which featured the two children she shares with her ex-husband, Chris Martin. The photos showed her teenagers, now 19 and 17, exploring a quaint house in the city and going out for pizza. In other shots featured in the carousel, Paltrow showed a bowl of onigiri, street art, and the inside of a bar with a neon Budweiser sign.

The family time comes amid Moses and Brody, and her 17-year-old stepson with husband Brad Falchuck, getting ready to head off to college this coming fall. Speaking with The Sunday Times being college-bound, Paltrow revealed that she's been struggling with the idea of them being gone.

“In the fall Brad and I have boys that will be going off to university ... It’ll be interesting to see how the morning routine changes with no kids in the house," she said. “On the one hand, incredible sadness. A deep sense of impending grief. On the other hand, this is exactly what should be happening. Your kids are supposed to be, you know, young adults who can achieve and cope and make connections and be resilient. That’s exactly what you want. And that means they leave the house.”

She continued, “I’ve been so defined and so fulfilled by motherhood ... It’s like the guiding force. It’s what I return to. I observe a lot of my friends who’ve had kids who’ve gone off to college. Your kid … it changes. And, you know, they come home a lot and all that stuff, but it’s not quite the same as living under the same roof all the days of the year. So I’m just trying to be open to what that means.”
