    January 10, 2014 - By

    The Palms of Destin Review

    January 9, 2014 - By 

    A couple of weeks ago I posted about my first impressions of The Palms of Destin in my post Destin Florida – Day 1. Now that I am back from my vacation I wanted to take some time to write a full review of The Palms of Destin because I want my readers to know about this place. I’ll start by saying we really enjoyed our stay in our condo. The 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo had plenty of room for my family of four. Both bedrooms had really comfortable king size beds and plenty of closet and dresser space…

    Folly Beach Family Guide

    June 24, 2013 - By 

    My family recently took a trip to Folly Beach, SC. Folly Beach is by far one of our favorite vacation spots. It’s small and not overly commercialized and less than a 30 minute drive to the action of downtown Charleston. For places to stay you can find anything from a nice condo overlooking the ocean to a fully loaded beach house. We chose to stay in this beautiful 2nd row condo. The condo was stocked with everything we needed from kitchen gadgets to beach toys. We were walking distance to all of the restaurants, bars and shops Folly Beach has…

    Asheville, NC

    July 23, 2012 - By 

    While some people associate summer with the beach, others associate summer with the mountains. If you want a great mountain get away, Asheville, NC is a great place to visit. There are lots of great hiking spots just right outside of Asheville. One great place to hike is Mount Mitchell, the highest mountain east of the Mississippi River. You can find lots of great hiking around the Blue Ridge Parkway. If hiking isn’t your thing take a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Check out this blog post on some gems we found along the parkway. You can always find…
