While in the Sewanee, TN area I needed to check some final destinations off my South Cumberland State Park list. We had not made it to the Lost Cove Area on other trips. Buggytop Cave was the first destination so we hiked a few miles to get there. It was worth it! Much more impressive …

Tim’s Ford State Park – Winchester TN
We checked the box on Tim’s Ford State Park. We aren’t really lake people but we stayed in Winchester, TN at Tim’s Ford for an extended weekend where we did other activities (Jack Daniel’s, Molly’s Graduation, and some cool hikes). Gran was there and made us a delicious breakfast in one of their cabins. All …
Touring Jack Daniel’s Distillery and Miss Mary Bobo’s Restaurant – Lynchburg, TN
The whole family headed to Molly’s college graduation. On the way, we spent a day together in Lynchburg, TN visiting Jack Daniel’s Distillery. Gran found a great restaurant, Miss Mary Bobo’s, that was in an old boarding house near downtown. We headed to our tour full of delicious food. The tour of the immaculate grounds …

Pinson Mounds State Archaeological Park – Pinson, TN
I took Emily and Max on the equivalent of a school field trip to Pinson Mounds State Archaeological Park (in Pinson, TN). Pinson Mounds is the largest mound complex in Tennessee and is one of the largest Middle Woodland (A.D. 0 to A.D. 500) mound complexes in the United States. It was much more interesting …

Chickasaw State Park – Henderson, TN
We visited Chickasaw State Park. Max joined us for a night of camping. Then I took Emily and Max on the equivalent of a school field trip to nearby Pinson Mounds State Park (which was much more interesting than I anticipated). We enjoyed some delicious food in Henderson, TN (hot fudge cake anyone), and some …
Amelia Island, FL and Fort Clinch State Park
We met up with Emmaline who was working in Amelia Island, FL. This had been on Emily’s list for a while. We stayed in cabins near the beach and explored the beaches, a lighthouse, and a giant fort at a nearby state park. I think Fort Clinch was the biggest (and best) fort we’ve ever …

Visiting Kennedy Space Center – Cape Canaveral, FL
From Vero, we ‘launched’ north to Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, FL for my first visit there. “One small drive from man”…err. The night before we’d caught a Space X launch through the clouds to get us hyped up for it. After a slight delay in our ‘liftoff’ (women) we finally ‘touched down’ for …

Revisiting Apalachicola, FL and St George Island, FL (and the St. George Lighthouse)
It had been 15-ish years since we’d been in the Apalachicola area. The Indian Pass Raw Bar had received a major upgrade. I wasn’t feeling too hot so the girls went shopping in town before we ate at the Owl Cafe. It was just as good as I remembered. We stayed one night on the …
Revisiting Cape San Blas and Port St. Joe Florida (After 15 Years)
We spent a ton of time on Cape San Blas when the kids were little. On our Spring Break road trip this year we looped through there again and spent a day revisiting the area (near Port St. Joe, Florida). It had been 15 years since we’d been there. It had changed, but not too …

Visiting White Oak Pastures (I Met Will Harris!)
It has been a year since I started learning about regenerative farming (and White Oak Pastures). In a stroke of serendipity, our Spring Break road trip this year took us right by their farm in Bluffton, GA. It would be crazy to not stop by for a quick visit?!? As we drove I made the …
