Do you have any traditions that you do without fail every year?? We have several, but one of them is an annual pre-season trip to Tuscaloosa. We usually go in August, before the football season starts. Sometimes we go a weekend or two before the students move back to campus, but this year we ended…

Sweetwater, TN
We recently made a trip to visit our nephew who has graduated college and started teaching and coaching at a high school in the area. It was a trip we won’t soon forget. We had an uneventful trip up on Saturday. We went to downtown Sweetwater and saw where the Inn was and then we…
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….
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…
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…
Get Outside – Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo
The Little Zoo that Could! On our recent trip to Orange Beach we decided to visit the zoo. We hadn’t been before, so off to the zoo we went with face masks on and camera in hand. We had to wear our face masks in any of the closed areas, but not while walking around…
Discovering the Pinta and Nina
Back in November, we saw an article that replicas of the Pinta and Nina would be docking in Mobile, AL. Since we often visit Amy and Tyler there, we wanted to check them out while there. We had traveled down for the annual University of Mobile Christmas Spectacular so the timing worked out for our…
Fall in the East Tennessee Mountains
Since the leaves were starting to change and we were going to be in Maryville for the weekend, we decided to take Monday off work and make it a long weekend. We drove up Saturday morning and we went to Avery’s game and to the Capitol Theatre Ice Cream Parlor and to the mall at…
College Football Hall of Fame
Before the football season we decided to take a last minute overnight trip to Atlanta to visit the College Football Hall of Fame. We had been talking about it for awhile, and decided that we needed to just go and stop just talking about going. So we decided that we wanted to do an overnight…
Traveling Back In Time
A few weeks ago we made the trek to visit Tyler. As we took exit 54 off of I-65 we noticed a small sign for The Warehouse Market and it piqued our interest. So we decided to visit before we left the area. It was a neat little market and bakery and its kinda in…
