A few Saturdays ago, I went with my mom and sister to visit family in Kings Mountain, NC. My aunt and uncle had been telling us about a nearby winery that they wanted to take us to. After getting lunch at another local place, we made a short drive to Veronét Vineyards & Winery. This … Read more
A couple weekends ago, Nikki & I, along with a friend took a short trip down to Jacksonville, FL. We were celebrating Nikki’s birthday and attending AEW’s Fight for the Fallen (yes, it was a wrestling event). We waited until a few weeks before the event to book our room and found Candlewood Suites. Everything … Read more
A few weeks ago, a friend of mine let me know that she’d be coming to the Raleigh area for a wedding and invited myself & Nikki to come up. My friend lives on Long Island and it had been several years since I’d seen her, so I jumped out the chance to go, even … Read more

If you’ve spent any time reading this blog, you’ll know that I’ve been to Atlanta three times since April. I can’t help it that the Braves had good events so close together. Side note: I’ll have you know that the Braves are 3-0 when we’ve been in attendance. At least there has been a variety of … Read more

Note: SunTrust Park was renamed Truist Park in 2020. This road trip blog series wasn’t supposed to be this long, but Part Two had too much animal cuteness to include baseball as well. I ended up saving the best for last as Opening Weekend at SunTrust Park was the whole reason I planned the trip in … Read more
