The Best of Downtown Knoxville , Tennessee
I have driven through Knoxville countless times. After moving from my home state of Kentucky to Atlanta, Georgia, in my twenties, I had never taken the time to stop and check it out. Almost two decades later and living in Kentucky again, my family and I made the stop in Knoxville to break up a drive home from the beach. I am so happy we did! We had about 24 hours in Knoxville, and we found so many hidden gems that now we can’t wait…

It will not take long for you to fall in love with Savannah, Georgia, once you arrive in this southern city.

The city has a sense of mystery with a reputation for being one of the most haunted places in the U.S. Savannah is one of the oldest…

How to spend a day or weekend in Columbus with kids
Columbus is the largest city in Ohio and the state’s capital. It is a sprawling city of over 800,000 and home to Ohio State University. I was surprised at all the city has to offer families. There is something for everyone, whether you love exploring museums and the arts, enjoy a vibrant food scene or exploring the great outdoors. We ventured up early fall for a one night stay and to visit the American Girl store for Hadley’s 7th birthday. Though that was the reason…

Summer in Breckenridge Colorado with kids
Breckenridge is no doubt the perfect little ski town but it is underrated for what if offers in the summer. We LOVE Breckenridge in the summer. the weather is perfect. Mostly sunny in the 70s and rarely ever over 80 degrees with little to no humidity. Don’t forget the sunscreen though! High altitude makes you more prone to sunburn. Our hotel had a plentiful supply of sunscreen available for all and we applied it multiple times during the day and still got a little burnt.…

10 unique things to do in Seattle
This quirky and unique Pacific Northwest city has it all! The three days we spent there in February 2019 was not enough to experience everything we wanted to. It just so happened that the weekend we were in Seattle, was the snowpocalypse!! Contrary to what I thought, it doesn’t snow much in Seattle, but when it does, the city shuts down. The reason for this is due to the temperatures hovering around freezing, allowing the snow to melt and then refreeze, leaving the hilly roads…
