Road Tripping in Kentucky with Teens

Homeschool Fanatic

Horses and Bourbon were not part of our recent trip, but an amusement park, a really big boat, a bridge, a Bible, a grave, and a Yeti were!

It’s approximately 10 hours from my location in the the Tarheel State to The Bluegrass State. The rolling hills of Kentucky are a beautiful sight for someone who lives at just 10 feet above sea level. I will say though, it is a stretch to find blue grass in Kentucky. Perhaps because the lawns were so well manicured, I missed it. While we didn’t see the blue hues, we did see a lot more. Come with me on a road trip to Kentucky!

Weekend Wandering in NC – Bath & Washington

Homeschool Fanatic

Soak in history, nature, and coastal beauty in one of my favorite NC towns. Beaufort County is a fantastic place to spend the day or an entire weekend wandering!

Founded in 1705, Bath is NC’s oldest town with quite a history! Politics, war, an epidemic, and piracy are all part of the rich history of Bath. Goose Creek State Park is home to 1,672 acres of natural coastal beauty including eight miles of trails for outdoor lovers. Washington is the first city in America to be named for General George Washington. Perfectly situated on the Pamilco and Tar River, Washington is a charming town with historic homes, shops, art, dining, and a welcoming waterfront.

The weather was warm, it was raining cats and dogs, and we were just married a few hours earlier that day. Since then, we have gone back to Myrtle Beach every couple of years in winter. The weather is great most of the time, and there are no crowds! We have noticed it gaining popularity in the winter months, but I’m sure it doesn’t compare to the summer season – which I’m not interested in finding out! I’d love to share with you our favorite places that we have visited over the years!
