If you have followed us for a while, you'll know we love to add a heaping dose of nature and adventure to our travels!
💚
For this reason, we had a sneaking suspicion.We would love Knoxville Tennessee....
💚
With a tag line like a "nature loving adventure seeking artsy kinda town," how could we go wrong?
💚
The good news is that this Scruffy City is every bit as fun, quirky, and beautiful as its tagline suggests❣️
💚
Here's a little photo dump of some of the most beautiful Knoxville shots 😍

I've apparently been on a #waterfallwednesday roll lately, lol!
💦
Hey all you Alabamaians‼️If you haven't been to @noccalulafalls you are missing out‼️
💦
The weather is looking nice this weekend...just sayin' 😉😎
It's #waterfallwednesday so we thought we'd highlight one of our favorite places for chasing waterfalls‼️
💦
The beautiful and lush El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico❣️
💦
Tell us about your favorite place for waterfall chasing 😉🤩
Climb Lookout Mountain the easy way and discover America's most amazing mile by riding the Incline Railway just outside of Chattanooga💥
Once you get to the top, be sure to stop into the Battles for Chattanooga Museum to learn more about the history of the area, then head into Point Park for more history along with the heaping dose of beautiful views❣️
💥
If your sweet tooth is aching, don't despair... There is an amazing selection of fudge at the top gift shop, and if you are craving a creamier confection, hit up the local favorite ice cream shop, @clumpies at the bottom🍦
💥
If you haven't made it to the Incline Railway yet, this year is a great time to visit, and you can help them celebrate their 125th birthday 🎂
Don't make me go home‼️
✨️
It was so bittersweet to wake up on our very last day of the trip to a powder day❣️ Naturally , we were pumped and made sure that we got out bright and early to get used to get those freshies, but man , it made it so hard to stop skiing at the end of the day‼️
✨️
We had our most epic ski day yet together, we had a gold of skiing all the way from Park City to the edge of canyons and back, which doesn't sound like a lofty goal, except for the fact that Ed will have skied less than 20 days in his whole life. He has gotten so much better on this trip though, he rocked it like a champ‼️ A slow champ🤪 but a champ nonetheless, even conquering ungroomed blue slopes❣️
✨️
I am just so filled with gratitude that I can once again enjoy the sport that has meant so much to me throughout my lifetime, and that I can now share it with my partner in life and crime, Ed 😉😘
✨️
Thank you again, @DeerValleyResort and @VisitParkCity another awesome experience and a fantastic opportunity to collaborate ❣️
Lost in the rhythm of the mountains at Park City Mountain Resort!
🏔
Every run down these slopes feels like a dance with gravity, a symphony of snow and sky. There's an unparalleled joy that floods your heart and soul as you carve through the smooth groomers and pristine powder, each turn a testament to the exhilaration of pure freedom.
⛷️⛷️
From the gentlest trails to the most challenging runs, every turn made is like a joyful dance
💃🕺
This ain't Texas, and it ain't our first rodeo, but it is so exciting we get to kick our heels up and dance down these snowy slopes together ❄️❄️
Since we are not regular skiers, we made sure to take a couple of rest days during our trip to recover and explore some of the other things to do in Park City in the wintertime.
⛷️
We had the opportunity to go snowmobiling with a fantastic newer outfitter on the scene, North Forty Escapes @northfortyescapes !
☃️
I have to admit, after rolling a snowmobile during my (Jenn's) ski patrol days, I am a bit of a motor wuss, so I hoped for dog-sledding, but since they were fully booked for that, I decided to give snowmobiling a go, while Ed was pumped to try it for the first time.
❄️
We took a spectacular snowmobile tour through wide-open meadows with panoramic views of the incredible Utah mountains. They provided all the gear we needed (except for warm snow gear) to ensure that you have a safe, comfortable ride, and even provided transportation to and from our Park City hotel!
🚌
Our expert local guide @sundancegoat ensured we were comfortable with our machines, had the appropriate safety gear and knowledge, and most importantly showed us a great time! About 1/2 way though the tour we spent a chunk of time in a wide open powder filled meadow where we could let it rip! Everyone had a great time turning it up while @sundancegoat showed off some legit skillz‼️
💥
I may still prefer skis to snowmobiles, but it turns out snowmobiling is much more fun than I remembered, especially when you go with @northfortyescapes❣️
Back at Park City and loving every minute‼️ It's been almost two decades since my (Jenn's) last visit, but this place just keeps getting better! 🏔️ Acquiring The Canyons in 2014 was a game-changer for sure. 💪
This year marks Park City's 60th anniversary since it first opened as Treasure Mountains in 1963! From the longest gondola in North America to 41 lifts and over 7,300 acres of terrain, it's now the largest resort in the US! And let's not forget the top-notch lodging and dining options.
❄️
But what really stands out? The accessibility! Fly into SLC, hop on a shuttle, and you're on the slopes in no time! Plus, skiing right into Park City's Main Street? That's a major perk! Jeans and snow boots are practically the uniform here, and it's great!
💯
For non-skiers (if you exist, lol!), fear not – Park City has something for everyone! Whether you're hitting the slopes or exploring downtown, there's never a dull moment! Who's ready for a winter adventure? Let's do this!

It's not too late to see spectacular fall colors 🍁🍂
We decided to take a little detour on our way back from Henry County Georgia (near Atlanta) through Desoto State Park, and we are so glad we did‼️💥
The hills were literally exploding with a kaleidoscope of gorgeous fall colors ❤️🧡💛💚
Where's your favorite place for leaf peeping?

Since 1997, the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation in Hampton, Georgia, has told the U.S. Army Aviation Story through tours, school programs, and air shows nationwide with vintage aircraft from WWII through Vietnam and Cold War eras.
Make a reservation for a hangar tour or join them on special "Flight Saturdays" for a thrilling flight in a restored Vietnam-era UH1 Huey or Cobra helicopter. It's all made possible by dedicated volunteers (many Veterans themselves!) at this non-profit organization.
The Army Aviation Heritage Foundation is one of the few organizations to get an FAA waiver for public flights on these helicopters, so this experience is as rare as it is amazing.
Experience the thrill of flight while honoring our brave service members! 🚁🇺🇸

POV - Biking in Henry County Georgia
🚲
Question - Would Henry County Georgia make a good destination for cycling?
🚲
Answer - With over 33 miles of trails in the PATH system alone, the better question is - Why not cycle Henry County⁉️
🚲
Fall is a fantastic time if year for biking‼️ Get out there and ride 🚴♀️🚴♂️

While we were on Curacao gathering content to promote Sandals Royal Curacao, we made a point to explore the island, slow down and savor the little moments.
🌊
Watching the ocean paint its breathtaking canvas with shades of blue, one gentle wave at a time, against the soft, shimmering sand and rocks reminded us that life's beauty lies in the details.
💙
✨
So here's to embracing the art of romanticizing our lives, even amidst the hustle and bustle.

Having spent years as a Learning Coach and Brand Standards Trainer with Ritz Carlton, I've come to understand that a genuine and heartfelt welcome lays the foundation for exceptional 5-star service.✨It's the little things that create unforgettable experiences.
💫
Stepping onto the exquisite grounds of Sandals Royal Curacao, the warm embrace of hospitality was unmistakable. A smile that felt like sunshine, coupled with refreshing oshibori towels and a welcome drink, instantly set the tone for our stay. But that was just the beginning of our journey into luxury.
🍹
Our dedicated and diligent butlers guided us through the check-in process, making us feel like cherished guests from the moment we arrived. They led us on an enchanting tour of the resort, ensuring we felt at home in our new paradise. And then, the pièce de résistance – our rooms. We had the privilege of experiencing two distinct room levels, each with its own array of amenities.
🍾
Opening the door, we were met with a delightful spread of snacks that indulged our senses and chilled champagne that sparkled with promise. It was a gesture that whispered, "Welcome to your dream escape."
🥂
As I reflect on our arrival at Sandals, I'm reminded that these moments of thoughtful care are the essence of a perfectly romantic getaway. In a world where love is the only requirement, Sandals has truly mastered the art of weaving love into every detail. ❤️🏝️
Rented a bike from @velocity_multisport in Janesville, Wisconsin and tackled almost 20 miles on the Ice Age Trail‼️

Columbus Ohio has some 50 miles of bike paths along the major rivers and creeks flowing into the city: Scioto, Olentangy, Alum, and Blacklick.
🚴♀️
As a result, cycling in C-Bus could be called a bridge-o-palooza ride.
