Over the years my parents have enjoyed group travel with a local company. They’ve traveled to some amazing places! Sometimes the company offers mystery trips. Passengers sign up for these trips not knowing where they’re going or what they’ll be doing when they get there. My intrepid parents have enjoyed a few of those trips! A few weeks ago my husband and I asked Mama and Daddy if they’d like take a mystery trip with US! They were quick to…
If you follow me on Instagram you know that I caught up with a few friends recently for a reading vacation. We dubbed it Reading Retreat 2019, and we had a blast! I promised I’d tell you guys about it, so here I am! My friends and I have been saying forever that a reading vacation sounded like fun. You too?!? Finally we said, “Enough talking. Let’s make it happen!” (We’re getting better at saying that, and I’m glad.) Donna…

Hey, you guys! Back in September I created a list of fun adventures for the autumn season and shared it HERE. Let’s glance back and see what Autumn Adventures we had over the second month of the season! (You can see the first month update HERE.) 1. All the camping and hiking! ✅ We’ve had so much fun camping this autumn! Since my last update we took a nice, long camping trip to Chattanooga. Yes, again! We still have LOTS to…
When I shared my Autumn Adventures Update a few days ago, I told you I had a funny story to tell you! One of the items on my Autumn Adventures list is to go kayaking twice. Gene and I love to paddle at George L. Smith State Park which is about an hour or so from us. We’ve been several times but never when the cypress trees change color for fall. I’m determined to get pictures of that. Speaking of…
Hooray for autumn!!! Here in Coastal Georgia we don’t get much autumn color, but we DO get temperatures under 90 degrees! Sometimes. Eventually. Still, it’s a special time of year because we can actually get outside and enjoy it! Outdoor activities feature prominently in my Autumn Adventures list, so let’s get to it! Here are the adventures I hope to enjoy this autumn: 1. All the camping and hiking! Yes! We have trips planned to Hendersonville, North Carolina; Chattanooga, Tennessee;…
My sweet husband has wanted to go to Nashville, Tennessee for a long time, and we finally made the trip over the 4th of July holiday. I’m so glad we did! I wasn’t sure what to expect in Nashville, but I was struck by three things: the music, the history, and the food. Today I’ll share some of our favorite food experiences, and then I’ll share some about the music and history over the next few days. We focused on…
Whoop whoop! After being out of blog land for several weeks (I’m looking at you, Winter Olympics, post-Olympics sleep deprivation, and back spasms), it’s time to plug back in! Let’s kick the new season off with a Springtime Adventure List! Here are my fun “to-do” items for Spring 2018. •Go camping at least two times. We’re heading out soon to camp in Thomasville, Georgia, one of my most favorite places!. From there we’ll make a day trip to Providence…
It’s a rainy Sunday here in Savannah. We decided to try the Little Duck Diner after church for lunch today. We ran across it a while back and have been meaning to try it out. We’re glad we did! The rain was really coming down. Not perfect when you have a 20-25 minute wait for your table! Thankfully we stayed pretty dry. Hooray! We made it inside! What a pretty place! I opted for the Fancy Shmancy Grilled Cheese. It…
Yes, this is way overdue! Better late than never, I say. Better late than never. We checked off a few more fun adventures that I really meant to share with you, so I’ll do that now. My official Autumn Adventures list and link to updates is posted HERE, if you want to peek back and see where I started! Item #5 on my list was to have my Christmas shopping finished before Thanksgiving. That didn’t happen, and I gave myself…
