If you asked me three years ago if I preferred the beach or mountains I would have quickly said mountains. But after two great beach trips last year I have decided not to choose. But I will admit this drive through the Smoky Mountains last week has me longing for a visit there.

Have you ever tried Cheerwine or Sundrop sodas? The two sodas are based in North Carolina and are a part of a beautiful mural in downtown Gastonia. I am not a fan of cherry-flavored drinks so I never tried Cheerwine. I have tried Sundrop and I liked it’s flavor which is a mix of lemon, lime and orange. I don’t drink sodas anymore unless they are diet. What’s your favorite?

I can attest that this is a very clean outhouse. I can’t verify it is the cleanest as I haven’t tried everyone in Georgia yet. #lifegoals 😂 I will say if you don’t get off exit 185 on 1-75 and visit Hamlin Hills you will miss out. Some of the best tomatoes we have ever had. More pictures in our stories.

Stayed at @esquirehotel for a night in Gastonia, NC. This beautiful boutique hotel resides in the heart of downtown. Enjoy some highlights from our stay and an evening walk in this small town.

Happy Mother’s Day! It was a tradition in our church growing up that you wore a red rose if your mother was alive and a white one if she was no longer with us. We had a rose bush in our backyard and Mama would often just cut some from there. I don’t have a picture of a white rose so I will honor my mama with this one. I miss her so much.

My son graduates from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga this weekend. We spend a lot of time in the Scenic City and we love it! We have done so much but there’s still a lot we haven’t done. We have ridden the Incline Railway and the Southern Belle Riverboat where we were greeted with a smile and a Moon Pie. We have visited the Chattanooga Choo-Choo and the National Cemetery. And of course we have been on the mountains. This is a small sample of our experiences there. We look forward to more!
