Aside from all the hanging around and napping we did in our recent trip to Austin, TX we did a lot of eating. A lot. So much eating in fact, that it pretty much set us straight for the rest of the trip…well, almost. But good food is definitely one of those things Austin has [Continue]

Two weeks and two days. That’s how long we were away on our road trip through the South. We did so much that I have yet to write about it all here on the site. But fear not. It is coming. Two weeks and two days was enough to fill me up with the thrill [Continue]

Ok, well, maybe by “living it up” I don’t mean taking part in the awesome music scene in Austin, or going to any of the many great bars, or even shopping. But, if you are like me, an adventurer with kids, than you will manage to live it up the best way you know how…with [Continue]

We’ve been on the road for almost a week and a half now and I have barely touched on the amount of awesome food that we have had since we set off on this amazing Summer adventure. After our wonderful experience with the discovery of The Cupcake Collection, we moved on to Memphis, TN. Before [Continue]

During our one-night stay in Downtown Memphis, we had accommodations set up* at the Residence Inn by Marriott Downtown Memphis. This particular location is quite lovely as it fits well with the historic feel of Memphis.

We went to The Cupcake Collection and  had a chance to connect with the owner Mignon Francois, a New Orleans transplant who [Continue]

The third stop on our 2010 Road Trip Adventure was Nashville, TN, where the music scene rules and country stars are discovered. We didn’t get to see much of Nashville, but Carrie from Tiki Tiki Blog, a Nashville resident for over a decade now, was wonderful in taking us to the many different spots in [Continue]

On the next stop of our 2010 Road Trip Adventure, after a day of activities in Washington, DC and an awesome couple of nights at Alexandria, VA, we made our way to Williamsburg, VA.  I had hoped that we would able to stay longer so that we could go to Colonial Williamsburg, but we only [Continue]

Our 2010 Road Trip Adventure has begun! It was a bit tricky at first. The day before we headed out our car failed us. So we ran to the nearest Hertz and rented what we could afford: a sedan. No DVD, no GPS system, no technology to entertain the kids! But we’ve been there before. [Continue]
