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…

This year for my birthday, Jeff made reservations several weeks in advance on my actual birthday at Little Betty Steak Bar, which is a new steak and Italian fusion restaurant open in the Lane Park area of Birmingham. They use local farm fresh ingredients. It is named after the owners dog and originally started in…

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…
Happy Birthday to Me!!
For my birthday we went to The Cheesecake Factory. It is a place that we’ve been to many times over the years. The food is always delicious and the portions are huge. Our waitress started by asking if we were there celebrating anything. I let her know it was my birthday she asked if we…
Son’s Donuts
Raise your hand if you like hot, fresh donuts!! Well if you hand is up then you need to run to Son’s Donuts in Mountain Brook Village near the Birmingham Zoo and the Botanical Gardens. They cook the donuts as you order; you can’t get any more hot and fresh than that. They are mini…
