De Nada – Birmingham, AL
We recently tried a new upscale-casual Mexican restaurant on 2nd Avenue South in downtown Birmingham called De Nada. It is in what is called the Parkside District. It is a block from the Birmingham Barons baseball stadium. They just opened April 29. They have a paid parking lot on the same block and street parking…
Guntersville – Cathedral Caverns
We had a long weekend in January so we decided to head back to Guntersville. This time we rented a condo right on the lake. We drove up on Saturday morning. We got there and did some shopping around the downtown area and then had lunch at Pizza Ed before doing an early check-in at…
Route 66 to Tulsa
Before leaving the OKC area we went west to Express Clydesdale’s in Yukon, OK. We got to see 5 of these beautiful, massive horses! They were all black and white which is a rare color as most of the ones you see are brown. Jeff had scheduled this tour ahead of time. We arrived and…
Brick & Tin
We’ve seen Brick & Tin around and on Yelp in recent searches but we had not visited. A new one recently opened in Cahaba Heights so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunatly it was not a good experience. We thought that it was a sit down type restaurant, but it is not. You…

Jeff had a training class in Las Vegas in August and I tagged along. It’s been about 10 years since we were last there. Some things had changed and some had stayed the same. Everything seemed so much closer to the sidewalk. Some of the restaurants like Denny’s are still there but they have been…
Sweet Caroline’s and Primo Grill: Leeds’ New Italian Gems
We had a weekend of Italian food at a couple of new restaurants in Leeds, AL. We started on Saturday with pizza and ice cream at Sweet Caroline’s Pizzeria and Creamery in downtown Leeds. This was their opening weekend. They were busy and we had a wait for food which was understandable. They serve Ice…
Family Adventures in Tellico Plains: Food and Fun
In July, 2024 we made a trip to visit our nephew in Tennessee. We decided this trip to stay in Tellico Plains. Mileage wise it is not far from him. However, it took a little time to get to his apartment because we were in the mountains. We stayed in a cute cabin that we…
