Update: We stopped in on our trip in August 2025. I grabbed some updated pictures, so as promised I am updating this post. First off, we should have stopped on our recent trip for updated pictures. LOL! I know we’ve been there since these pictures were taken, but this is what I found on my…

Memories – Guntersville, AL
In January we had a long weekend and we looked for somewhere to visit. We talked about going to Chattanooga, a place we love and have visited often. Then we started looking at new places. We finally decided to stay close to home and visit Guntersville, Alabama. It’s about an hour and a half from…
Amicalola Falls State Park
In researching our trip to Dahlonega we came across Amicalola Falls. We love a beautiful waterfall, but we aren’t hikers and prefer one that is easy to get to and not one that you have to trek through the woods to get to. So Jeff found that this one we shouldn’t have to trek through…
Dahlonega, GA
I have heard that Dahlonega, GA is a really cool place to see around Christmas and that some of the Hallmark Christmas movies have been filmed there. I had mentioned to Jeff that I’d like to visit there at Christmas. He got to researching and found that there were several things to do and decides…
Birthday Weekend at Redbud Treehouse
We’ve looked at treehouses in various areas and thought about staying in one. We’ve looked at some near where our nephew lives in Tennessee, but the ones we came across while scrolling on social media were never really, really convenient. We’ve looked at some that are kind of local to our area for sort of…
The Rocket City – Huntsville, AL
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…
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,…
