Our final destination of this trip was the Grand Canyon. This was about 2 hours north from Sedona. We took the scenic route out of Sedona. This route was a 2 lane road up the mountain to Flagstaff, the further north we went the more snow we saw. We got back on the interstate around…
30th Anniversary Trip – Part 2 – Sedona, AZ
On Friday morning we got up and headed almost 2 hours north to Sedona. Getting out of the city we were able to see the surrounding mountains and all of the cactus that grow in that region. It also got colder the more north we went. We arrived early to Uptown Sedona. The area looks…

Beautiful and Terrifying
Planning the Trip, one of my favorite parts! Julie usually writes most of these blogs, but I wanted to give my side of the story for our recent Arizona trip. We had our 30th Annniversary coming up in April of 2023, and we had been discussing for some time what to do. We don’t usually…
Biscuit Love
A new restaurant called Biscuit Love recently opened in Cahaba Heights. We decided one Saturday to visit for brunch/lunch. We weren’t sure exactly where it was located as we had not seen it on our recent visits to the area, so we put it in the map app and head towards Cahaba Heights. We found…
Valentine’s Day

First Passport Stamp! ~Nassau, Bahamas
In 2022 we had the opportunity to get our first passport stamp from Nassau, Bahamas. This was our second trip out of the country, but the first time that we’d needed our passport. We went to Puerto Rico a few years back but it is a US Territory and you don’t have to have a…

Street Corn Dip

Waldo’s Chicken and Beer
There is restaurant that recently opened in Cahaba Heights, a suburb of Birmingham, called Waldo’s Chicken and Beer. It’s kind of like a fast food chicken place with a bar. We went for lunch on a Saturday. They were pretty crowded. After we ordered we found that every table was taken. So we started to…
