In early June, I met with the owner of Classic Travel Connection in Birmingham and signed on as an independent travel consultant. YAY! My company's name is Family Travel Adventures LLC.

Life Lately and The Great American Solar Eclipse 2017
I can hardly believe how long its been since my last post. Time has just been flying by and any system of organization I had has been completely obliterated. So what's been going on? The kids went back to school in early August. How is it possible that I have a third and fourth grader… Continue reading Life Lately and The Great American Solar Eclipse 2017
Mixing Business and Pleasure in Baton Rouge and New Orleans
Since my mom is still visiting and a great babysitter, the DH invited me along to a SQL Saturday event in Baton Rouge last weekend where he was a guest speaker. Since we rarely get to do anything just the two of us, this was a fantastic opportunity for some quality couple time. Well, at… Continue reading Mixing Business and Pleasure in Baton Rouge and New Orleans
Chattanooga Summer 2014
In this post, I alluded to our 2014 trip to Chattanooga, which I realized I never blogged about. Well today I'm here to remedy that by covering the highlights. Chattanooga is a vibrant, diverse city, which are exactly the qualities we appreciate when going somewhere. We went with my Mom for a short weekend trip… Continue reading Chattanooga Summer 2014
Great Smoky Mountains Fun – Scenic Drive and Chattanooga
This post is a day late and a dollar short, but time escapes me during the summer months when we're constantly on the go. Tell me I'm not the only one. So where did I leave off... Great Smoky Mountains National Park A good night's sleep enabled us to get up bright and early on… Continue reading Great Smoky Mountains Fun – Scenic Drive and Chattanooga
Great Smoky Mountains Fun – Laurel Falls and Dixie Stampede
On the morning of Day Three, we headed out for a 2.6 mile hike (round trip) to see Laurel Falls in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

In case you've… Continue reading Great Smoky Mountains Fun – Laurel Falls and Dixie Stampede

We drove in… Continue reading Great Smoky Mountains Fun – Dollywood and Christmas Place
Paris Hilton Opera
I've been meaning to write this post for a while now, but have been seriously lacking in motivation. It has been raining for five straight days. FIVE!!!!! I'm desperately craving sunshine and blue skies! But anyway, I wanted to highlight one of the hotels on our Europe 2017 tour... The Hilton Paris Opera. Can you… Continue reading Paris Hilton Opera
Europe 2017 – London
Oh, Day 9. Had we known we'd get stuck in a rain and hailstorm, we may have burned the candle at both ends the night before. Maybe. The DH said it best, "How else would you have known you were in London if it didn't rain?" Up to this point, we'd had great travel weather… Continue reading Europe 2017 – London
Europe 2017 – Paris and London
We spent the first half of Day Seven in Paris. Top of our list was the Musée d'Orsay. The museum was a former railway station, inaugurated for the 1900 World Fair. It housed a luxurious hotel and grand reception room. Many of its original features have been maintained. In my opinion, the building itself rivals… Continue reading Europe 2017 – Paris and London
