Experience the Charm of Helen, GA Germantown: Your Guide to a Magical Getaway
Alpine Helen, Ga is one of those quiet little towns that once you visit you have to go back again and again. Nestled in the North Georgia Mountains, this town is unlike most you would see in this area. You truly feel as though you have stepped into another country. I have not been fortunate enough to travel outside this great country of ours, so when we found this little place, it was really a treat. As the locals would say, it’s the charm of Bavaria in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The population is just under 500 and with all the quaint hotels, restaurants, and cobblestone pathways, you will…

Maximize Your Adventure: One-Day Marvel at the Grand Canyon
We decided to get up early and get on our way to the Grand Canyon National Park. One thing I need to point out, we take a cooler everywhere we go. You would be shocked at how fast you can spend money on water and snacks when traveling to National Parks. We also packed food to make our lunches. The Grand Canyon is only about an hour north of Flagstaff, AZ. This was not our first trip here, but it was my sister’s and her boyfriends so I wanted to spend as much time seeing the Canyon as we could. I was excited to see their expressions when we walked up…

Spending a Long Weekend in Panama City Beach
When traveling to Florida you have SO many beautiful beaches to choose from. I have written about several which you can read in some of my other blog post. The beach my family chooses time and time again is Panama City Beach. This beach is only about 5 hours from home and it makes it by far the easiest and quickest weekend retreat for us. There are so many great things that make it the perfect vacation spot! When we tell people we have our “beach time” in Panama City Beach, we sometimes are not received very well. Panama City Beach has made national news with the partying that takes…

Camping – Windcreek State Park, AL
When we first got our little camper, all we wanted to do was head out and land wherever the road took us. Not exactly the smartest move if this is your first camping trip towing a new camper and never once set up a campsite. We decided to do the practical thing and plan our first trip and not go too far from home just in case we had any trouble. After a little research, Wind Creek State Park in Alexander City, AL is where we decided to go. Wind Creek sits on beautiful Lake Martin which has over 750 miles of wooded shoreline. It was very easy to book…

Road Trip Ready: The Top 10 Essentials You Can’t Leave Home Without
Road Trips are one of my absolute favorite things to do. If I have had a bad week, need some time away, I just jump in the car and head anywhere I want. A change of scenery can be an amazing antidote to a tired soul. I am a sucker for a day trip. If I hear there is festival, carnival, art show, craft show or even a good flea market, I am ready to hit the road. Sometimes its just for the day, or a long weekend, but either way it’s time with our loved ones and conversations that may have never happened if we weren’t all together in the…
