For Jeff’s birthday this year, we decided to plan a quick weekend getaway. It was a milestone birthday and needed to be celebrated! So we looked at our usual go-to Chattanooga, but just wasn’t feeling it for this trip. We looked at a local B&B but they didn’t have availability for the dates. Did I…

The Groovy Nomad – Trenton, GA
Have you ever went to look for something and can’t remember where you put it?? Well I had one of those moments this week when I was looking for the post about our 2023 trip to The Groovy Nomad hotel in Trenton, GA. Guess what, I didn’t find it and realized that I never wrote…
Cruze Farms – Knoxville, TN
Back during the fall on one of our trips to visit our nephew in Tennessee we had a day of fun. We started the day by playing a game of putt-putt followed by a trip for homemade ice cream. If you’ve been around for awhile you know if there is a place serving homemade ice-cream…
Charleston, SC – Day 4
Saturday was our last day to explore Charleston. We started with eating a breakfast bar in the room and then we headed to the USS Yorktown. We spent several hours touring the aircraft carrier. We walked all over it, up and down the tiny ladders/stairways. The only place we didn’t go was down to the…
Charleston, SC – Day 3
Day 3 we decided to start with just having a breakfast bar in the room. After breakfast we headed to John’s Island to see the Angel Oak Tree. We followed the google map directions to get there and ended up having to drive down a dirt road to get to the tree. The tree was…
Charleston, SC – Day 2
I guess we were technically still in the “south” as all of the restaurants served sweet tea. LOL!! Day 2 we start our day by looking for somewhere to go for breakfast. We found that Miller’s All Day was on the same block as the hotel. But guess what, they are NOT open ALL DAY,…
Charleston, SC – Day 1
In September we did a quick getaway to Charleston, SC. We took the time to plan out our trip to see the most. We are down to the week of and there is a tropical disturbance in the Atlantic ocean that is projected to make landfall somewhere along the east coast around South Carolina. We…
Ehh Taco Shop
We don’t write to much on places that we go and just don’t really like. Well this is going to be one of those places. We keep a list of places to try. We add to it as we see new restaurants that open up. We had LaCalle Taco Shop on our list and then…
Condado Tacos-Tequila-Margaritas
We have a new restaurant on Highway 280 in the Mountain Brook area called Condado Tacos.Tequila.Margaritas. We decided to meet there one night after work. This is the only one in Alabama. It is a chain and they have 39 locations in several states. The restaurant wall decor is not like any other restaurant in…
Baha Burger
Many moons ago I worked at an office in the Colonnade area off Highway 280. Across the street, within walking distance was a shopping area with several restaurants. I ended up with 2 go-to restaurants there and one of them was Baha Burger. It was a small hole in the wall that was eventually closed…
