December 2021 Miami: beaches, food, and indulgence comes to mind. The city of Miami has warm weather in the winter, and lots of things to see!

Canaveral Natl. Seashore and Kennedy Space Center, FL
Next stop on the Florida coast was the Canaveral National Seashore. To get there, you drive through neighborhoods and houses, along a main street and when the sand starts blowing onto the road, you know you're close! Near the visitor's center is a lovely boardwalk where you can see parts of the shore, and then …

Castillo de San Marcos, FL
December 2021 To do the entire coast of Florida and hit up all the National Park sites in around 10 days is crazy but I thought it was doable and drivable so here we go! First stop was the Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve, and unfortunately Fort Caroline was closed. But I did get to …

There's music and lights and noise and it's all …

USS Alabama, Mobile AL
July 2021 Finding a place to stay in Mobile at a very late arrival time was a bit daunting, with most prevalent hotel chains wanting almost $200 a night for a few hours. But I found a well kept secret: The Malaga Inn. The inn is charming, with old style touches that use modern technology. …
Chickamauga & Chattanooga TN: Lookout Mountain Battlefield GA/TN and Russell Cave, AL
July 2021 To visit the Chickamauga and Chattanooga sites, the best place is to go to Lookout Mountain. The drive to Lookout Mountain Battlefield in Tennessee isn't easy. You go from city streets to tight neighborhoods all while winding up a tall road higher and higher, crossing from the Tennessee to the Georgia border in …
Dollywood, Tennessee
