If you haven’t been to Hendersonville, NC it should be added to your North Carolina bucket list. It is the perfect long weekend getaway for a couple or family. The beautiful historic downtown is bustling with quaint shops, local restaurants, galleries, and breweries. Within 15-30 minutes you can be sipping wine at a vineyard, hiking through majestic waterfall trails, or kayaking along the Green River.

With beautiful expansive beaches, beautiful water, and historic seaports, visiting North Carolina’s Crystal Coast is a perfect family vacation.

You’ll be amazed by the friendly smiles, wonderful beaches, delicious food, historical sites and even a National Park.

Savannah, GA is perfect for a weekend getaway. It is full of charm, rich history, great food and a thriving art scene. See how we spent our weekend in this beautiful Southern city.

Today I am recapping our 48 hour trip to Williamsburg, Virginia where we visited Busch Gardens and Colonial Williamsburg. This was a budget friendly trip, so I’ll be sure to share any helpful tips I found along the way.

Did your family get the winter blues this year? Mine sure did, mix that in with COVID, remote learning and working from home. We needed warm air, crystal clear water, and time away.

We decided to bring the girls along for the adventure; at this point we all needed a change of scenery.
