    Is Knoxville the New Asheville?

    My family has always loved visiting Asheville. It has a thriving and hip downtown. They have the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway. And it would be silly not to mention all of the breweries. Here lately it seems that Knoxville is becoming the new Asheville.  Here are the reasons why I think Knoxville is the new Asheville Knoxville Has TONS of New Breweries There are currently 19 breweries in Knoxville.

    Best Downtown Charlotte Hotel – Hilton Garden Inn

    Finding a nice and affordable Downtown Charlotte hotel can be a challenge. We lucked out with the Hilton Garden Inn at Downtown Charlotte. This hotel had everything we needed. Location, amenities and a comfortable place to sleep.  After a busy day of traveling, band competition and a hot day at Carowinds we decided we didn’t want to make the 4 hour drive back home. We thought it would be a lot more fun to check out downtown Charlotte and stay in a nice hotel. We used our usual apps to find a hotel with good ratings, a good price and…

    Adventure Bound Campground – Best Camping Ever

    We may have just found the kids favorite campground, Adventure Bound Campground in Gatlinburg. Our weekend at Adventure Bound was filled with lots of swimming, 100’s of times going down the alpine slide, hanging out with friends and making new friends and playing in the rain. This place was packed with things for the kids to do! So much so that the kids practically ran the campground.  Adventure Bound is located on the outskirts of Gatlinburg close to Cosby. While it is technically in Gatlinburg, it is away from the hustle and bustle tourism of downtown Gatlinburg. And no matter…
