All across the South, people grabbed their iPhones and started snapping pictures and filming themselves catching snow in slo-mo while celebrating an early snow. For many, this was the first snow that they had seen in years! Some areas of the South, like Virginia and Georgia, saw accumulations of 6 to 9 inches. If you're keeping track of precipitation across the United States this season, that's already 3" more than Denver! Here are some awesome moments shared across the South, as they … [Read more...]

Get Roasted in Milledgeville – Beans, Beer, and Baked Goods

Up until Friday, it had been 4 years since I had walked through the coffee shop. Blackbird Coffee, set in historic downtown Milledgeville, was never lacking any character. … [Read more...]
A Weekend Road Trip to Tybee Island

As luck would have it, our friends decided to throw a joint bachelor/bachelorette weekend at Tybee Island over Memorial Day weekend.

I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to enjoy a bit of a re-inspired road trip through … [Read more...]
