Since this is our anniversary week, we'll explore

Since this is our anniversary week, we'll explore a couple languages of love. Recently we had a chance to experience an evening of Paint and Sip with Sarah Rhodes @paintings_by_sarah in Scottsboro Alabama.

While art isn't our usual go to, it was fun creating together in a safe place with no judgement and plenty of supplies. It was also fun learning to see the world like an artist. Where is the light coming from? Where are the shadows? At the end of the day (and after this epic sunset and a couple of glasses of wine) we created a painting and a shared experience we could take home.

There's nothing that says summer and good times mo

There's nothing that says summer and good times more than hang by the lake on a hot day!⁣

This was taken hiking around Smith Mountain on Lake Martin. There is a fantastic network of trails by the lake with epic views, and at the right time of year tons of wildflowers like dogwood and mountain laurel.⁣
😎⁣
We have been having so much fun exploring our new home state! We have also been surprised by how much natural beauty is all around us! ⁣

What are some of your favorite things about summers in your hometown?

Welcome to Memorial Day Weekend ya'll❣ It's too

Welcome to Memorial Day Weekend ya'll❣ It's too easy to think of Memorial Day as the official start of summer, the end of school, and getting to set your clock to lake time.

Of course, all of this is true, but it's also a time to honor the men and women who died while serving in the military. This solemn occasion is a time to reflect on these American patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting and defending this county.
🇺🇲
🇺🇲
So as you are heading to the lake, oceans, or mountains this weekend, please take a moment to reflect on those people who made it possible.

In our most recent post exploring the benefits of

In our most recent post exploring the benefits of boutique travel, we called out four in particular: peace of mind, experiences, guidance and innovation, and convenience. In short, not only do you do more, you worry less. Our drone shot of Driftwood Beach from our boutique liveaboard cruise on the Aqua Cat is the epitome of relaxation.
🌴
Our research turned us on to a study by the Harvard Business Review, which contained two fascinating tips on how to have the best vacation ever:
1) Go far away. An average vacation creates no positive effect on happiness or stress. But 84% of the best trips over the past five years were to locations outside of the country.
2) Meet with someone knowledgeable at the location. The biggest stressors on the trip were managing travel details, not feeling safe, and lack of knowledge of the location. On the best trips, 77% knew and met with a local host or had a knowledgeable friend.
🌴
So amazing adventures are good, and so is boutique travel. I guess Harvard researchers would want you to book a trip on the Aqua Cat‼️ and keep reading our work - LOL‼️

Have you ever taken a trip with a boutique travel provider?

We went down to Lake Martin and stayed in the Hank

We went down to Lake Martin and stayed in the Hank Williams Cabin at Children's Harbor. Almost 70 years ago, Hank wrote Kaw-Liga in this very cabin! Less than three months later, he died of a heart attack at age 29. Kaw-Liga is about a lonely wooden Indian who couldn't profess his love to another maiden statue before she was purchased and moved to parts unknown. It's profoundly sad and stoic at the same time.⁣
🎵⁣
🎶⁣
While we were at Children's Harbor, we learned about the children's camps they put on every year. Their website says, "Children's Harbor provides children with serious illnesses and their families a place to be themselves – to have fun and relax – while also receiving no-cost services that make life a bit easier for the whole family."⁣
🎵⁣
🎶⁣
Fun and relaxation are precious to the human spirit. Hank suffered from undiagnosed spina bifida, which kept him in constant suffering. His pain, in turn, led to his drug and alcohol addiction, dismissal from the Grand Ol Oprey, and ultimately cost him his life.⁣

This picture of the Children's Harbor lighthouse shining out like a beacon of light at sunrise, and is how we like to remember this place. It's the start of a new day, and there's hope on the horizon.⁣

Imagine riding a 110' coal-fired train through the Smoky Mountains. It takes you back in time as you steam around the 5-mile track. You can smell the thick black sooty smoke and hear the whistle piercing the air. It's so powerful and primitive at the same time.⁣

This is the Dollywood Express, an attraction in Dollywood. Dollywood is ranked as the best US theme park not associated with Disney or Universal and even beats out several Disney properties. The theme is life in the Smokies at Dollywood, making it a great compliment to any Great Smokies getaway.⁣
🚂⁣
🚂⁣
If you want less commercializing and pushing of branding, Dollywood might be your kind of park. It's unabashedly Christian and upbeat, with enough thrill rides and shows that you can't see it all in a single visit.⁣
