NCDOT Wildflower Program

When we were on our big road trip this summer, we were surprised at all of the beautiful flowers we saw all over the interstates in North Carolina.  The flowers are everywhere and are an amazing array of colors against your typical green surroundings.  Every corner we turned, my daughter would shout out which color [...]

Goodbye, Summer!

In summer, the song sings itself.
~William Carlos Williams

Today marks the last day of summer.  Big S is back in school bright and early Monday morning (we aren’t counting the weekend because, well, weekends don’t count!).  He is so very excited.  We met his teacher and saw his new classroom this morning and he can’t [...]

Wilderness at the Smokies – Sevierville, TN – Part One – Salamander Springs

Last week, I shared my video of our experience at Wilderness at the Smokies!  Today I am going to go into a little bit more detail on our visit.  We got to visit Wilderness at the Smokies for two nights as part of the Trekaroo Superoo program.  If you have followed this site for awhile, [...]

Lost Sea Adventure – Sweetwater, Tennessee

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 [...]

Eden State Gardens – Point Washington, Florida

Florida has many beautiful state parks.  They are covered with large beautiful trees, blooming flowers and winding boardwalks that take you into areas that make you think of fairies and wood sprites.  We bought the Real Florida Passport and we love to visit the different state parks and collect our passport stamps.  We make the drive from [...]

Let it Snow – Foley, Alabama

This is the closest that we will get to snow this year. 

Last year we were sledding down mountains of real snow in Germany.  It snowed on Christmas morning, the kids went sledding every day and my husband was able to ski as often as he wished.  This year, we are staying in sunny Florida where [...]

Fish River Tree Farm – Summerdale, Alabama

I have a fake tree.  It is a beautiful tree, but it is most definitely fake.  Oh, that fake tree didn’t enter this house without a fight.  Unfortunately, my husband and the fake tree won but I went down kicking and screaming!  We bought the tree the day after Christmas and my husband couldn’t have [...]

Dreaming of New Orleans…again!

 
Today I am dreaming of New Orleans…again!  Only a short three hour drive away, New Orleans makes a fantastic destination for an overnight getaway.  Yesterday I saw a commercial for Miracle on Fulton Street.  Fulton and Poydras Streets in downtown New Orleans turns into a winter wonderland from November 27 to January 3.  It snows!  In New [...]

Boyd’s Bear Country – Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

On our massive Virginia road trip, I drove the kids up to Hershey, Pennsylvania to meet up with an old friend.  We visited Chocolate World (I have coined the trip Chocolate Disaster…that is for another post, another day!) and on the way home, we stopped for a potty break at Boyd’s Bear Country in Gettysburg, [...]
