With Fort Campbell’s convenient location just 45 minutes north of Nashville, it can be easy to focus solely on Music City USA when planning a date night out with your special someone, but with so many hidden gems a little closer to home why not switch up your normal routine to include a night out in Hopkinsville, Kentucky! MB Roland Distillery Whether you’re a bourbon connoisseur or just want to taste a little strawberry moonshine, a trip to MB Roland Distillery makes for a fun (and educational) date for couples over 21. As a “grain to glass” craft distillery, all MB Roland products are handm... read more

I have mentioned before Monterey is spectacularly located near many worthy destinations. From San Diego to Northern California, there are plenty of once in a lifetime opportunities. We were so busy during our stay in Central California that I put the almost obligatory trip to Disneyland at the bottom of our list and said, “if we have time.” As a family, we aren’t Disney enthusiasts.

There are also many runners in Pensacola, as well as 5K/10K races and half/full marathons. However running is not limited to the athletic. Pensacola running clubs make running fun and enjoyable for people of all athletic abilities. Running clubs are hosted by a different restaurant and/or bar downtown almost every night of the week. People gather, usually around 6pm, to walk, jog, or run a three-mile route through downtown and along the water. Aft... read more

Carmel-by-the-sea, or commonly known as Carmel, was recently voted by Travel +Leisure magazine as one of the most romantic cities in the world and in 2013 was voted by Condé Nast Traveler as the United States’ 6 th favorite city . To top both of those honors is the distinction of being rated one of the most dog friendly cities in the country. Of course the first two are subjective, but from firsthand knowledge, the validity of the dog friendly award is obvious before you park your car! Food, Wine, and Shopping Carmel is an enchanting, scenic and quaint village that neighbors Pebble Beach, mos... read more
