Travel & Wanderings
Adventures…
Do you suffer from wanderlust? I sure do. Check out the posts below to get a little inspiration for your next adventure. Also, be sure to look for this little icon when reading travel posts. If you see one, click it because I’ve included a Google map link with fun itinerary details to help jump-start your travel plans.
Share your own adventures with me (and the Tribe) by uploading some of your travel pics to the community chat. I can’t wait to see where you go next!
Little Beaver State Park
Mother Nature provided us with a gorgeous afternoon the other day with temperatures actually above forty degrees, so Olivia and I went for a walk at one of our favorite parks. I admit that Little Beaver State Park doesn't require me to "wander" very far, but I...
Lake Shawnee
Rusty remains of a forgotten amusement park loom wearily as the earth struggles to slowly reclaim the land. The rides haven't been in motion since the 1960's and now only the skeletons of the ferris wheel and the swings stand as a testament to a livelier era. Yet...
Irish Mountain
If you're ever feeling adventuresome and have four wheel drive, there's a back road that I like to take from time to time that starts a little ways off of the Bragg Pluto Road exit (about a mile south of highway 64) and takes you to River Road in Hinton. After taking...
Ocean Isle Beach
Well… As my mom once put it, "if it weren't for BAD luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all…" I suppose this could be true, but I prefer the description of quirky luck instead. Perhaps this is why my life motto has always been: as bad as it is, it could always be...
Hinton
Last weekend Kendall, Olivia and I took a short road trip to Hinton, WV. It's actually a fun place to visit, but our main purpose for going was to get Olivia to take a nap in the car. It's an age old trick that tends to work most of the time... Occasionally it...
Grandview
In honor of Mother's Day coming up soon, I thought I'd write about a place that is near and dear to my mom. Quite possibly it might be her favorite place on earth: Grandview, part of the New River Gorge National River. Grandview park is actually a hop, skip, and a...
Lewisburg
Lewisburg, WV is a charming little town that I like to visit often. The streets are lined with an assortment of fun stores, galleries, and yummy restaurants. I love to spend the occasional Saturday afternoon there shopping and going to lunch with friends. Doing so...
Mexico
Sand and sun sound like a nice change from the cold and snow? Anyone I know (that's in their right mind) would agree with my resounding, "yes!" Well, thanks to my favorite cousin, we just recently had a fantastic excuse to thumb our nose at Old Man Winter and escape...
Gatlinburg, TN
I recently traveled to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for my best friend's wedding. Well, actually I consider Courtney the sister I never had, but that's not exactly relevant at the moment. It was our first trip as a family. My daughter, Olivia, is only four and a half...
