    Nashville, TN

    We spent a long weekend in Nashville, TN in January 2022. We chose Nashville because my younger daughter and two of my nieces were competing in a gymnastics meet there on this weekend.

Nashville is well known for many interesting murals all around the city.

    Chicago, IL

    We were able to spend a few days exploring downtown Chicago in April 2022. My daughters and I met my mom, my sister, and my nieces there.  We also met up with our brother, sister-in-law, and another niece one day.

    Amelia Island, FL

    We spent the weekend in Amelia Island, Florida in May 2022. The reason for our trip was to spend time with family in Jacksonville. Amelia Island is a little less than an hour north of Jacksonville. We love the relaxing, Florida vacation vibe of Amelia Island and love using it as a base for time in Jacksonville. Most of our time was spent visiting with family in Jacksonville, so but we still managed to do some sightseeing. We spent a few hours on the beach across the street from our hotel. It is a very peaceful beach and pretty nice.

    Savannah, GA

    We had a quick visit to Savannah, Georgia in May of 2022. We started off our morning by visiting Forsyth Park. It was beautiful and so peaceful. We enjoyed a walk through the local trees, moss, and flowers. We took pictures by the fountain and checked out a couple of playgrounds. The surrounding area features beautiful, historic homes. After the park, we explored Savannah City Market. Our favorite store was Rhen’s Nest Toy Shop. So many great toys! We wished we were there more for shopping than just looking.
