Two Kids and a Map

On this road trip, we vowed to slow down.  If we saw something that made us want to stop the car, we would.  The Lost Sea Adventure was exactly one of those things…we were in the middle of Tennessee.  What on earth could the Lost Sea Adventure be?

We were not disappointed!  This roadside attraction has [...]

When we are on the road we try to continue to encourage our kids to try new foods, but sometimes chicken tenders and french fries are just what the traveler ordered!  When we were staying at Wilderness at the Smokies in Sevierville, Tennessee, we decided to help save our budget one afternoon and eat off of the hotel [...]

The World is Calling…Can You Hear It?  What a name for a travel site!  I have told my husband several times that I feel like the world is calling me.  I love that The World is Calling has all sorts of travel categories: couple travel, packing, travel with kids, travel prep, traveling with grandparents.  Recently [...]

Today I am dreaming about appreciating what I have in front of me in my own hometown.  This post was inspired by a recent post at Dim Sum, Bagels, and Crawfish.  Lucia posted a picture of her holding some of the teeny tiny shells that she found on an Italian beach.  That picture called to [...]

Do you ever see a t-shirt on someone while traveling and think that you have got to get a picture of it?!?  I just had to share this picture of an employee t-shirt at one of our favorite seafood restaurants on the beach.  Shirts are available for purchase on Peg Leg Pete’s website!

 I discovered Carolina Nomad just this week and I am so excited to have found this website.  As you can imagine from the name, the website concentrates on the Carolinas.  Some of our favorite travel memories are from when we traveled through North Carolina.  We will be traveling that way this summer and then I will be [...]
