The Future of Field Trip Friday is in your Hands….

When I took my blogging break one of the things I was considering was the future of Field Trip Friday. I love sharing places that we go because field trips are such a huge part of what we do but I wonder if you’re really that interested in reading about them or participating in the…

Field Trip Friday: Niña and Pinta

I was excited to learn that replica’s of the Niña and Pinta would not only be making a stop in Huntsville, Alabama, but that they’d be docking not even 15 minutes from our home. One of our all time favorite field trips was to see the replica of the Santa Maria in downtown Columbus, Ohio….

Field Trip Friday: Swimming in a Mexican Cenote

Remember our trip from last week when I wrote about the first part of our trip to Dzibilchaltun and the House of the Seven Dolls? Turns out that there was quite a bit to see at this amazing historic Mayan site.                                                                           (hieroglyphs)  As fascinating as the ruins were, if you asked my kids what…

Field Trip Friday: Butterflies, and Lots of Them!

This week we thankfully got a bit of reprieve from the hot weather, but unfortunately we had to cancel our outdoor field trip because of thunderstorms.  By afternoon the skies had cleared up so the kids couldn’t wait to do something. Though we’ve visited our local botanical garden on several occasions, we’d not ever walked…

Field Trip Friday: North Alabama Railroad Museum

Well, keeping up our pace, the kids and I headed out to explore yet another local attraction, the North Alabama Railroad Museum. This was the second time we had stopped, but the museum is operated by volunteers and may not always be manned. For that reason, I suggest calling ahead before your visit. The museum…

Mooresville, Alabama- Field Trip Friday

Well I have to admit that it was harder to fit in a field trip this week than I thought it would be. Not only has the weather been really hot, but we’ve also had terrible thunderstorms almost daily. Not exactly the type of weather that makes an outdoor field trip seem appealing. This morning…

  • We stopped at the @pearlfryartopiarygarden on the last day of our van camping trip. I had hoped to meander the grounds with my husband but we got into a fight just as we pulled up so he wouldn't go with me. His loss. I wouldn't have missed the opportunity to explore. Walking along the grounds helped me calm down a bit so by the time I was back to the van, I was excited to share with my husband what he had missed. 😂😃 _____________________ Please tell me we're not the only ones to get on each other's nerves when road tripping. ______________________ #discoversc #pearlfryar #topiary #mastergardener #travelstoked #traveltagged #insearchofquirk #ipulledoverforthis #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #southcarolina #topiarygarden #backroads #roadtrip #tbin #travelinspiredliving #travelusa #instatravel #picoftheday #travel #landscapephotography #publicart #roadtrippers #atlasobscura #roadtripvibes #exploreusa #explore
  • Can I let you in on a little secret? My husband and I recently visited Key West and I didn't love it. But what I did enjoy was driving along the Overseas Highway and pulling off on the side of the road when it was permitted to photograph the pelicans, iguanas and beautiful turquoise water. I also enjoyed hanging out and relaxing in the @fl.stateparks along the way. Key West may not have been our cup of tea but there were plenty of other spots to explore and we'd love to return when some of the state park campgrounds reopen so we can explore more. _______________________ Have you been to the Florida Keys?

  • While browsing the internet for things to do near Jekyll Island, I ran across an article about tree spirits on St. Simons Island. Instantly intrigued I convinced my husband that we must stop to check them out. _______________________ Artist Keith Jennings carved about 20 faces into the trees of the island in the 1980's and while many are on private property, there are about 7-8 that can be seen around the island. ________________________ Local legend says that the faces on the trees immortalize local men who died in shipwrecks in shops built from the oak trees on St. Simons. ________________________ To locate the trees, stop at the @GoldenIsles Visitor Center for a tree map which will make them easier to find them. _________________________ Have you seen the tree spirits of St. Simons Island? __________________________ #roadtrip #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #exploreusa #exploregeorgia #georgia #goldenisles #stsimonsisland #travelmoments #traveltagged #picoftheday #travelphotography #travelphotooftheday #instago #instatravels #travelusa #travelgram #vanlife #vancamping #roadtrippers #roadtripfun #atlasobscura #publicart #insearchofquirk #ipulledoverforthis
  • I'm hooked on van camping. ❤ My husband and I may have just returned from our trip through the south but we're already planning our next trip. I can't help myself! How soon after a trip do you start planning (or dreaming of) your next one? 🚙🚦⛽ ______________________________ #vancamping #roadtrip #travelusa #traveltagged #travelwriter #travelgram #camping #vancampingadventure #travelinspiredliving #travelmoments #tbin #instago #instatravels #picoftheday #travelphotography #jekyllisland #exploregeorgia #campground
  • All good things must come to an end...for now. This is our last day of van camping on our first van camping trip in the @dodgeofficial Promaster 2500. There are a couple things I've learned. __________________________ 1. Van camping in the Promaster is so much easier then camping in my minivan. 2. My husband gets really crabby if he is hungry or tired. 3. We both become unbearable when we've been cooped up in the van for too long of a time. Which leads us to this photo. _________________________ When we road tripped with our kids, we always found state or national parks where we could stretch our legs and get some space. I thought it was needed to for them- not us. Turns out that the hubs and I need that outdoor space for our sanity as much as the kids did. 🌿🌳 ____________________________ Today, my husband and I drove quite a few miles. We were getting tired and we weren't being as nice as we could have been. So we stopped to walk on the trails at Lee State Park in South Carolina. It's amazing how much a little bit of time in nature can improve one's mood. An hour later we were back on the road with our good moods restored. 🍃 __________________________ What way(s) do you keep the peace when you road trip with others? __________________________ #scstateparks #southcarolina #discoversc #roadtrip #exploremore #optoutside #vancamping #travelinspiredliving #tbin #travelphotooftheday #picoftheday #traveltagged #travelblogger #travel #travelusa #travelmoments #explore #instatravel #instapic #naturetherapy
  • Some go to @discoverdaytonabeach for the Daytona 500, I pulled off the interstate not to watch a race, but to see the larger than life Jantzen Girl. ______________________ The Jantzen Girl is one of six created for Jantzen in the late 1950's and one of four that remain today. This particular diver was suspended above Stamie’s Smart Beach Wear shop from 1965 until the shop closed in 2017. Jantzen took possession of the mannequin upon its closure to protect it. _______________________ The public was not ready to see the icon go and after a public outcry, Perry Ellis International, who now owns Jantzen, agreed to return the refurbished diver girl to Daytona. _______________________ The diver girl is now on view at One Daytona’s Victory Circle along with informational signage. _______________________ What type of stops do you pull over for when you road trip? _______________________ #travelmoments #traveltagged #roadsideamerica #roadsideattraction #ipulledoverforthis #insearchofquirk #travelinspiredliving #travel #roadtrip #roadtrippers #atlasobscura #roadtripvibes #exploreusa #visitfl #daytonabeach #picoftheday #travelphotography #travelblogger #tbin #florida #roamflorida #instago
  • So much beauty in something that is dead. _____________________ Driftwood Beach is one of the coolest places I've been on this #vancamping trip and probably ranks up there with all time favorite places. _____________________ After driving through rain most of the day, the clouds began to subside as we entered Georgia, allowing us plenty of time to spend walking along the beach- me taking photos and my husband hunting for glass floats. _______________________ I can't wait to explore more tomorrow. Have you been to Jekyll Island? What do you suggest? ________________________ #vancamping #roadtrip #jekyllisland #exploregeorgia #driftwoodbeach #beachvacation #exploreusa #exploremore #traveltagged #travelphotooftheday #landscapephotography #picoftheday #travelinspo #instatravel #instapic #explore #vanlife #beach #travelinspiredliving #roadtripvibes #tbin #travel #travelwriter #travelblogger #travelgram #travelusa #travellust #travelforlife #wheretofindme #natgeo
  • I often seek out historical homes to tour when I travel and I've found homes from the Gilded Age or just past to be my favorite. The opulence and extravagance is mind boggling. If I could travel back in time I'd love to spend a day as a guest in a property like this. Vizcaya was the home of one of antiquities collector and top International Harvester executives, James Deering. Inspired by European estates and palaces, the 38,000 square foot home features 54 rooms, 34 of which are normally open to the public. The property cost $26 million to build. In today's prices, that could be as high as $8.7 billion! The home is gorgeous inside and out. A perk- the free parking allowed enough space to park the van though the backup camera certainly came in helpful. Have you been to Miami and strolled the corridors of this lavish estate? __________________________ #visitflorida #miami #historicplaces #historylesson #instatravels #travelusa #traveltagged #travelwriter #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #architecture #architecture_lovers #architexture #explore #exploremore #picoftheday #roadtrip #vancamping #vanglamping #vanlife #travelinspiredliving #tbin #travelblogger #florida
