Weekend Getaway to the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center

The bad thing about our amazing girlfriends getaway to the Gaylord Opryland Hotel was that an epic snowstorm swept into the south just after we left Kentucky, which moved down into Nashville and quite literally locked down the city.

A Foodie’s Introduction to Portland, Maine with Maine Foodie Tours

Portland, Maine was definitely not putting her best foot forward when we visited on a gray, rainy day in the fall. Our hopes for a lovely culinary walking tour were dashed by the icy, driving rain but being the penultimate foodies that we are, we persevered. We were in town for the day on a cruise … Continue reading »

The Ultimate Cabin Experience at Eagles Ridge Resort

Although I am the ultimate beach fan, Tom is a big fan of cabins so I try to compromise sometimes and find him a mountain cabin. This is a pretty easy proposition in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee where I think the cabins must outnumber the residents of this mountain town located near the entrance to the … Continue reading »
