We vacationed on Hilton Head Island back in mid-August. When we decided to take a trip to Hilton Head Island at the end of summer, we immediately started searching for a pet-friendly place to stay. You see we had heard that Hilton Head was incredibly dog-friendly allowing dogs on the beach and on restaurant patios, so…
Beaufort Restaurant: Old Bull Tavern
I’m guilty of being a planner. I search the realms of the web, tripadvisor, zomato, and yelp for suggestions on where to eat and what to do when we travel, but especially where to eat. We love to eat local when we travel anywhere and I hate it when we end up having a bad…
A Beautiful Stay in Beaufort
Have you ever heard of Beaufort, South Carolina? If you are like me, then maybe you haven’t. I had not heard of the charming town along the coastal islands that line the eastern boarder of South Carolina before our recent trip to Hilton Head Island. We ended up booking a villa rental on the Island starting…
A St. Augustine Memorial
A LONG while ago…we took a trip down to Penney Farms, Florida to visit Kara’s grandfather. He’s 90 and doesn’t travel anymore so we brought the party to him (or lack thereof, we’re not really partiers) for Memorial Day weekend. Penney Farms is a retirement community. And it’s about 45 minutes away from Jacksonville and…
The Original Mast General Store
A little while ago, we took a trip over to Blowing Rock, NC and I mentioned the Mast General store. Residents of Knoxville know now that we have our own nifty Mast store downtown on Gay Street. It’s a great all-purpose store. You know…for general stuff. Valle Crucis, NC is a hop-skip-and a jump away…
Quaintness – You’re doing it right
Every year if time permits, we like to go visit my Nana in Blowing Rock. You see, Nana is awesome. She was married to my Papa for almost 40 years before he passed away back in 2002. And she still fiercely loves him and talks about him as if he hung the moon. She treats…
Adventures of OBX
This is reading material. There’s a lot of it. So, if you’re looking to kill some time on a lunch break, this is your chance. So…the long awaited OBX blog. Yeah, I know our vacation was like…a month ago. So what? Quick preface: this was our first “real” vacation in 3 years. Since the honeymoon….
Last D.C. Blog: Birthday Dinner & Arlington
Finally getting this up. Sorry for taking so long. My Birthday dinner was at this Italian restaurant, Tosca, near the White House. Expensive yes, but totally worth every penny. Delicious going down. Not so much coming back up when I got sick that night because I had some sort of bug, but still worth it….
