I recently went to visit family in Knoxville, Tennessee. I've been there several times visiting. Even though I wish that family lived closer, I do love the Knoxville area.

Today, I'm sharing my favorite things to do when visiting Knoxville, as well as some other things you may want to check out if you visit. Get smoothies from the Juice Bar. This place is my all-time favorite. If there was one next to my house, I would have a smoothie every single day. I love that they are Continue Reading

6 Things to Do in Oahu
Are you heading to Hawaii? Perhaps to the island of Oahu? Travis and I recently got to visit Hawaii, and it was awesome to say the least. The Army sent him there to take a class for a week, and I wasn't about to let him go without me! So we got me a plane ticket too, and off we went to a place I've always wanted to go! We had six days to do everything we wanted, and I was surprised that we fit everything into one week! During the day, I would go explore on my own while Travis was in class. I would pick him up in the evenings and we'd adventure out together. After our time in Oahu, I came Continue Reading
E-World in Daegu
Travis and I recently spent a day at an amusement park called E-World in Daegu. It was such a neat experience and we got so many fun photos that I wanted to share it with ya'll. This is a great activity for anyone stationed at Camp Walker, Camp Henry, or Camp Carroll. E-World is an amusement park that seemed to have a love theme. There were lots of heart decorations and signs that read, "Love Park," "Love Path", and "Romance." We went during their spring season so they had flowers everywhere! So many tulips! It was beautiful! The park has lots of rides and things to do -- roller Continue Reading
Things to Do When Visiting Charleston
My husband took me on a short trip to Charleston, South Carolina as an early birthday present recently.

As a military family, there are going to be many weeks or months or years where my husband is away. This week my husband has been in the field for training. Next month, he'll be gone a little longer. The month after that he'll be gone longer still. And a few months from now, he'll be gone for a whole month. I just keep telling myself that's nothing -- this isn't a deployment. But since we haven't been through a deployment yet, this kind of sucks.
