Planning the Trip, one of my favorite parts! Julie usually writes most of these blogs, but I wanted to give my side of the story for our recent Arizona trip. We had our 30th Annniversary coming up in April of 2023, and we had been discussing for some time what to do. We don’t usually…

First Passport Stamp! ~Nassau, Bahamas
In 2022 we had the opportunity to get our first passport stamp from Nassau, Bahamas. This was our second trip out of the country, but the first time that we’d needed our passport. We went to Puerto Rico a few years back but it is a US Territory and you don’t have to have a…
Orange Beach Wrap Up
I’m going to wrap up our Orange Beach vacation. I threw in a couple of Christmas posts since my last Orange Beach post. We stayed at a new to us place this visit. We rented a condo at Phoenix West II. We had a beautifully decorated, spacious condo with great views of the gulf. Our…
Sunset in Orange Beach
I love to watch a pretty sunset. If you have vacationed in Orange Beach, then you know that during the summertime the sun does not set over the water. It sets over land, and with all the high rise condos you can’t really watch it or get pictures of it. So when we vacation there…
Pete’s in Orange Beach
We recently spent a few days in Orange Beach, Alabama. This is a place we visit often so we are always looking for new spots that may have opened up since the last visit. On this trip we were staying across the street from this building that was not there on our last visit. We…
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…
Gatlinburg – Pigeon Forge
We finished out our vacation in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. We had spent lots of time searching for a cabin. We finally found one that we really liked, in an area where we’d be close to Wear’s Valley and to Pigeon Forge. We found out after trying to book that it had been sold. We…
Biltmore House
In the fall we planned our vacation for places we visited places before and a few new places. By the end of the the trip we had actually been thru 5 states!! We started our trip with breakfast in Leeds and then we hit I-20 and headed East thru Atlanta. For lunch we were in…
Next Leg of Fall Vacation
After our couple of days in Asheville, NC we left and headed towards Gatlinburg. As I said in the other post we visited some new places and some old. Well this was one of the places that we have been to before, BUT we looked for some new things to do. We found a few…
Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park
We recently had the chance to visit the Gulfarium in Destin. When our son was growing up he loved marine life so we have visited aquariums when we traveled somewhere with one. He wasn’t on this trip with us, but how could we not go and send him pictures?? We were going to watch the…
