Tuesday, September 22, 2026

Shelby Corn Maze
If you’re looking for a fun fall day trip from Greenville, SC, with LOTS for the kids to do, put Shelby Corn Maze on your fall list! We recently visited Shelby Corn Maze in Shelby, North Carolina, and I honestly wasn’t expecting there to be so much beyond the corn maze itself. This is much more of a full fall festival experience, with a huge corn maze, activities for kids, a giant jumping pillow, a hayride to the pumpkin patch, and plenty of places to play along the way.

Fall in Cashiers, NC: A Little Slice of Mountain Heaven

There’s something about fall in the mountains that has us ready to hit the road as soon as summer starts winding down. The moment those first leaves begin to change, we’re already dreaming about heading toward Western North Carolina. And every year, there’s one little mountain town we can’t wait to return to—Cashiers, NC.

Grandad’s Apples: A Sweet Start to Apple Season in Hendersonville, NC

Monday, September 7, 2026

Grandads Apples Hendersonville, NC
For some reason, we always love starting apple season at Grandad’s Apples. Maybe it’s because it is one of the first orchards we pass as we make our way down Chimney Rock Road, where several other Hendersonville orchards are located. Or maybe it is simply because visiting has become one of those little family traditions that officially tells us fall is almost here.

The Ultimate Family Weekend Getaway in Brevard, NC

Sunday, June 14, 2026

The historic red brick Transylvania County Courthouse tower in downtown Brevard, North Carolina, viewed behind a street intersection with a white squirrel light decoration mounted on top of the traffic light pole.
 

For years, our family treated Brevard, North Carolina, as nothing more than a pit stop.We would stretch our legs on the way to Looking Glass Falls, or pass right through during our other mountain excursions. We never gave it a second thought. We never took the time to actually pull over, park the car, and explore what Brevard itself had to offer.What a mistake that was—and what a massive surprise it turned out to be.

Hilton Head Island Feels Like Someone Designed the PERFECT Vacation for Families

Monday, May 25, 2026

Harbour Town, Waterfront Community of Hilton Head

 

You know those trips where the kids are happy, the parents are relaxed, nobody is asking “what are we doing next?” every five minutes… and somehow the day just flows? That’s exactly what Hilton Head Island felt like for us. One minute we were walking under giant live oaks beside a lighthouse, the next we were exploring hidden boardwalks through the marsh, the next playing tag with water, and somehow we still ended the day at a pirate ship playground by the water.

Treetop Canopy Walk at Lynches River County Park

Tucked away in Florence County, Lynches River County Park is one of those places that completely blows you away.

It has this incredible 147-foot treetop canopy walk right through the forest, plus a newly updated splash pad that kids absolutely love. It is definitely not your average county park.

We found a hidden nature playscape in Spartanburg, SC.

On our last visit, we were honestly blown away by everything that’s been done.
