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. On the scenic drive over, we had to stop at several viewing stations to take in the grandeur of the Great Smoky Mountains. Isn't it stunning?!? In case you've… Continue reading Great Smoky Mountains Fun – Laurel Falls and Dixie Stampede
Great Smoky Mountains Fun – Dollywood and Christmas Place
My Mom is in town visiting, so the five of us decided to indulge in a mini getaway last weekend. We enjoyed our 2014 Chattanooga trip so much (I just realized I never blogged about this!!!), we decided to head back to Tennessee, this time to the Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg area. We drove in… Continue reading Great Smoky Mountains Fun – Dollywood and Christmas Place
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
Europe 2017 – Paris
On the morning of Day Six, the four of us said goodbye to the DH's Aunt, and along with his Mom hopped the Thalys to Paris. We arrived around lunchtime, dropped off our bags at the hotel (more on that in another post), and got straight to it. Musée de l'Orangerie Our first stop was… Continue reading Europe 2017 – Paris
Europe 2017 – Brugge
We spent Day Five in Brugge, the Venice of the North. It is so known because of the number of canals winding through the city, rich in beauty and history. A canal tour would have been ideal, however, like the canal tour in Gent, it would have been in multiple languages which was overwhelming for… Continue reading Europe 2017 – Brugge
Europe 2017 – Brussels
Day Four was one of my favorites! The jet lag was wearing off and we managed to leave the hotel before they began lunch preparations (HUGE!!!) to spend the day in Brussels. Our main goal was to visit The Atomium and Mini Europe. Anything after that would be icing on the cake. Fair warning, this… Continue reading Europe 2017 – Brussels
