Key West is the Best- Day Two

The best way to wake up after a late night out is to just pick up right where you left off; grab yourself a Bloody Mary, and keep yourself moving. I am an early riser so I was up despite the late night/early morning prior. It is truly a blessing and curse. A blessing because I get to enjoy the quiet and stillness that the … Continue reading Key West is the Best- Day Two

Key West is the Best- Day One

“We didn’t come here to lose weight or save money!” – Andrew Harris We recently took a trip to Key West, Florida to celebrate a good friend’s wedding.

Hornsby Farm Spring Harvest Dinner

You can order an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $40 per person. I have written about SpringHouse before and probably will … Continue reading SpringHouse Sunsets

Café 123 March Wine Dinner

Located in the center of the most charming city in Alabama, Opelika, you will find an equally charming restaurant, Café 123. First of all, I must give full disclosure that Opelika is my hometown, so I am somewhat biased on it’s lure. As a child, I remember going with my father to what was, Haynie’s Drugstore, in this exact location. Haynie’s was, during its heyday, a … Continue reading Café 123 March Wine Dinner
