We decided to visit Savannah, GA for a second time. We watched the weather reports and the track for Tropical Storm Claudette. We had thought that it was going be moved out by the time we left on Father’s day, but that was not the case. We ended up traveling east with it. The rain…

We are empty-nesters enjoying life's adventures.
Another day another adventure!!
You just never know where we are going to end up. LOL! We went to lunch at Walk On’s and then on to furniture looking down 65 south. We didn’t think about it being a holiday weekend when we headed down 65 South towards Calera. We made it to Alabaster and hit the traffic. We…
Wanna know our secret?
We are often asked how we find all of these restaurants that we visit. Well it’s really not a secret. Let’s talk about the different ways that we find these places. Social Media – we are always watching social media feeds for posts about restaurants, both new and new to us. We are members of…
Ellijay, GA
We recently took a trip to north Georgia. In planning the trip I found that one of the routes would take us thru Ellijay, GA. I’m not sure why or how, but I had heard about this city before. I never did figure out what I had heard about it. Oh well, we enjoyed our…
Blue Ridge, GA
To celebrate 10,228 days of marriage (if you don’t want to do the math that is 28 years) we decided to take a long weekend trip to Blue Ridge, GA. We traveled on our actual anniversary. We of course took the scenic routes all weekend. We started our trip by heading towards Atlanta and heading…
Go Where the Road Takes You!
I had heard about a new consignment store opening in Oneonta, AL. Friends had been posting on Facebook about the shirts they have in their booth. So we went opening weekend to check it out. We went on Sunday afternoon and shopped at the store. We found that most things in the small town are…
Authentic Mexican
We recently visited a new restaurant in Leeds, AL that is an authentic Mexican restaurant. It is called Taqueria La Juanita. We had looked at the menu online beforehand, but really didn’t know what to expect. Jeff had a quesadilla and I had tacos. I was halfway thru my meal when I realized that the…
Pensacola Beach
We chose to take a quick trip to Pensacola Beach for Jeff’s birthday. This was our first time to stay on the island. We chose to stay at the Holiday Inn Resort. They have heated indoor and outdoor pools with a lazy river. When we arrived they put us on the street side of the…
McFly’s Bird Shoppe
We ate lunch in an alley for the first time when we went to McFly’s Bird Shoppe. It is in Birmingham, Alabama in 5 Points South. It was on our list of places to try for awhile but we were not sure if we’d be able to find parking. It only took us one trip…
Hello Spring!!
Sunday was a gorgeous day in Alabama. We decided to take advantage of it and get outside. We put on our first shorts of the season since it was going to be about 80 degrees and went to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. There wasn’t as many flowers blooming as I had hoped, but we still…
