When I think about the Lowcountry and its classic southern charm, my mind is immediately brought to Charleston, South Carolina. There is nothing more romantic than stately old Oaks dripping in Spanish moss and Crepe Myrtles sprouting with pink and fuschia blooms. I also love the smell and the beauty of a salt marsh. That's [...]
What's Up Lately. Episode 005. It's been a busy couple of weeks since I was here with my last update. That update coincided with my husband's birthday. Smith Mountain Lake. We decided to rent a boat and spend part of the day cruising around Smith Mountain Lake. The lake is the largest man-made lake in [...]

Aruba. Stunning turquoise waters! That was reason #1 for our choice to head to Aruba. Following closely behind were: we could get a good flight there, we had friends who had been and loved it, and another big factor is that Aruba is the most revisted Caribbean Island. Family Travel. Over our teenagers' Spring Break [...]
Friday. It's Friday! Did ya'll miss me last Friday? I missed all of you! That Thursday was a full day of travel for us. We arrived at the airport in Aruba early since we knew that U.S citizens go through customs at the airport in Aruba instead of when they land in the U.S. Based [...]

One of those adventures was a boat tour through the canals of Amsterdam. Houseboats. Amsterdam's canals are filled with houseboats. In fact, there are around 2,500 legally moored houseboats in the more [...]
Friday. I hope that you all have had a beautiful week. I also hope that you have had more sunshine than me (unless, of course, you don't love sunshine...and then I hope you've had whatever weather lifts your spirits). This was a long week to Friday. The teens haven't been to school for the ENTIRE [...]
Friday. Edition 33. It's Friday!! One of my favorite things about this week is that the hubby took today off so that we can have a day exploring. So my faves will be short and sweet since we are heading out after we finish breakfast. Downtown Roanoke. After Miss Sunshine's soccer game last Saturday, the hubby [...]
Friday. Edition 19. It's Friday! Hallelujah, it's Friday! Yesterday I shared some of my favorite beaches. And by tomorrow afternoon I'll be putting my toes in the sand at one. Carolina Beach Bound. That's right! Carolina Beach, here we come! So as I wade through the laundry, try to remember what size sheets need [...]
Stirling Castle. The day after we arrived in Scotland we took the train to Stirling Castle. The people working the ticket counters are amazingly helpful. We ended up getting a groupsaver ticket because there were three of us. With all the train travel that we did, this savings was a welcome surprise. Besides staring at [...]
