We are empty-nesters enjoying life's adventures.
Biltmore House
In the fall we planned our vacation for places we visited places before and a few new places. By the end of the the trip we had actually been thru 5 states!! We started our trip with breakfast in Leeds and then we hit I-20 and headed East thru Atlanta. For lunch we were in…
Next Leg of Fall Vacation
After our couple of days in Asheville, NC we left and headed towards Gatlinburg. As I said in the other post we visited some new places and some old. Well this was one of the places that we have been to before, BUT we looked for some new things to do. We found a few…
Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park
We recently had the chance to visit the Gulfarium in Destin. When our son was growing up he loved marine life so we have visited aquariums when we traveled somewhere with one. He wasn’t on this trip with us, but how could we not go and send him pictures?? We were going to watch the…
Wetumpka
For my birthday this year we were looking for something to do, so we decided to visit Wetumpka to see what HGTV Hometown Takeover had completed while there. We had never been to the area before so we aren’t sure what it looked like before their visit other than what they showed during the shows….
Savannah – Take 2
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…

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…
