WHY EXPLORE THE SOUTH?
Our love for the Deep South is what keeps us traveling the area rich with American history and friendly folks.
“How ya doing?” is a common greeting given and received by/from perfect strangers. If you have ever entered a Waffle House, you’ve been greeted by the entire staff yelling ‘Good Morning’ or ‘Good Afternoon’ all at one time.
We believe you would like to visit the southern states and know where to find those hidden gems off the beaten path, as well as the secrets of those hot spots you may have heard about.
The southeast has the best beaches. We have the Great Smoky Mountains, and we have Disney World. There are lots and lots of hidden gems to visit in the south, like DeSoto Caverns in Alabama, or these quaint small towns in North Carolina.

Meet Shirley And Stacy
We got married in a small church in Macon, GA, in 1997. Our honeymoon was to Disney World, where our favorite place was Epcot.
We love traveling in the South, especially historic sites like Andersonville, Ga.. We are both Georgians by birth. Having lived in Georgia most of our lives, a love of the culture and rich history is bred into us.
Our favorite southern beach is Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, where there are numerous activities, plenty of shopping options, and a wide range of restaurants to choose from. However, Tybee Island, Georgia, is the place to go for rest and relaxation. One of our favorite vacations ever was a trip to Tybee when we stayed at a B&B, sat on the front porch, watched the waves roll up, and rode bicycles all over the island.

Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, is our preferred mountain destination, mostly for the shopping and sights, but we also appreciate the serenity and history of the North Georgia mountains.
We also own the Homemaking blog Intelligent Domestications, which Shirley started in 2013.
Most days, you can find us relaxing at home, loving on our fur babies, pulling weeds from our flower bed, discussing where we are going next, or cooking together in the kitchen.
