    48 Hours in Asheville: A Weekend Guide

    A couple of weeks ago, Macy & I headed north for a fun 48 hours in Asheville. Maybe it’ll give you a couple of ideas for your next trip to Asheville. It’s the perfect long weekend getaway because it’s only a 3.5 hour drive. If Macy & I said it once we said it two dozen times: “I bet this is so pretty in May or October.” The mountains were pretty as we drove up to and around Asheville but the trees weren’t so much. It’s probably beautiful with the fall leaves or when everything is blooming in the late spring & summer. Asheville didn’t feel jam-packed nor did we…

    Guide to Ponte Vedra Beach, FL + A Recap

    We just got back from a short 5 day vacation to Ponte Vedra Beach & I’m going to give you a guide to Ponte Vedra Beach! Ever since we got back from Panama City Beach in July, Macy was itching to go again. This time we were able to get Grammy & Andy to go with us so it was more of a family vacation this go round. We haven’t been on vacation with them in 10+ years so it was fun to be able to take a trip with them again. None of us except for Mom had ever been to Ponte Vedra so it was fun to be…

    Panama City Beach Vacation 2020

    For years growing up, we always went to Panama City Beach (PCB) for vacation. I’m talking for about the first 15 years of my life. It was the first beach my feet touched. Well, I wasn’t a huge fan of the sand and would draw my feet up under me every time they touched but you get my point. Haha It’s been about 8 years since we’ve been back though. It’s one of those things that you think about with nostalgia and you want to go back and relive it. This year we finally did. We went to our top restaurants (and judged the hushpuppies at each place because we’re…

    2 Day Vacay to Panama City Beach

    For YEARS, my family would vacation in Panama City Beach. We’d stay in the same condo around the same time of year. We’d eat at our same favorite restaurants. We’d spend 1 morning/early afternoon at Pier Park & spend the rest of our vacation sitting on the beach. It was glorious. Then…we got older, the owners sold their condo plus we wanted a change so we started going to different beaches. But one thing remained the same…our love for a particular restaurant: Liza’s Kitchen. It’s a sandwich shop right on the main drag of PCB (Panama City Beach) & it was walking distance from the condo we always stayed in.…

    Daytrip to Dahlonega, GA

    I think sometimes we say things like “Let’s do ___!” and then we never actually do said thing for a variety of reasons. When Macy (my sister) suggested we go to Dahlonega for a daytrip to see the quaint town and their Christmas decorations and do some shopping, she made sure it didn’t turn into one of those situations where we never ended up doing it. We went on Monday with our mom, Grammy, and a family friend to explore the quaint little town. They had a beautiful tree with reindeer and a sleigh and a cute little box for letters for Santa. That scene felt straight out of a…
