Alcatraz Island {California}

Alcatraz. One of the most popular prisons in the country. While no doubt the name congers up images of daring prison escape movies thanks to Hollywood, the island was considered one of the most secure prisons due to the ever high tide and currents which would inhibit most from trying to make it to the [...]

Hey, I'm Meg and I'm so glad you stopped by! Here I hope to share some of the places around the states and around the world that I am discovering. I have found that the best moments traveling happen on accident when I least expect them or when they are nothing like what I imagined them to be...in short when they are a bit of a midadventure. So come along and find some misadventures with me!

Summer in Tennessee is made for exploring the beautiful state parks. Today took us to @timsfordstatepark and it made for a perfect day! Started the day with a visit to @cedarsoflebanonstatepark where we were rewarded with a lovely walk through the trees. Tennessee sure has some beautiful state parks to explore and this is one of our favorites! Did you know there is a Museum of Salt &Pepper Shakers? This collection is incredible to walk through and see all the different shakers. The museum has over 20,000 shakers and has been a labor of love for 35 years. It is an interesting and uncommon  tribute to a common household item. When in Gatlinburg be sure to check out this museum! @visitgatlinburg A beautiful day in @greatsmokynps that started with a walk from the Sugarlands Visitor Center and ended up at Cataract Falls. This park has a magic all its own. Ready to face another week after finding my balance here in these beautiful mountains. What a fantastic day at @dollywood with family and friends! We did it all-the rides, the shows, the food-and we left very tired but very happy! Downtown Knoxville with their great Tennessee sign! Visited the Shiloh National Battlefield and National Cemetery. Shiloh was one of the worst conflicts in the American Civil War. Such a humbling and thought provoking look at such a turbulent time in history. We as a country can still feel the effects of the Civil War rippling through the past 150 years. Spent a lovely weekend at a cabin in Natchez Trace State Park. We loved the long wooden bridges stetching across the water! Always love walking through the enchantment of Rock City Gardens. The rock bridges, the slot canyons, the colorful fairy like passages really bring the magical into the day. After months of high anticipation, today we got to experience the incredible Immersive Van Gogh Experience. What beautiful artistry all around with the blend of Gogh's artwork, cinematography, and music to make such an experience. Thank you @vangoghnvl for such a beautiful experience!
