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,…
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…
30th Anniversary Trip – Part 3 – Grand Canyon
Our final destination of this trip was the Grand Canyon. This was about 2 hours north from Sedona. We took the scenic route out of Sedona. This route was a 2 lane road up the mountain to Flagstaff, the further north we went the more snow we saw. We got back on the interstate around…
