My friend Stephanie from A little Moore and I visited Atlanta’s Dekalb County for a fun girlfriend getaway.
The Atlanta Metro is such a large area and it can feel overwhelming.
We had the opportunity to check out some of the adventures that could be overlooked.

I love discovering unique adventures and Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park in West Michigan has now been the source of a few of them for me.
First I tried the luge in the summer, then the luge in the winter, and now their 1/4 mile long ice skating trail through the woods.

Traverse City, Michigan is a very popular destination in the summer for its beautiful water, weather, and a love of all things cherry themed or flavored, as the Cherry Capital of the World…..but you don’t have to wait until summer to experience adventure in Northern Michigan! I discovered why Crystal Mountain is a such a popular “snowcation” destination for winter fun too.

Located in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, Fernwood Resort offers several outdoor winter adventures that you will want to add to your list.

This winter has been unseasonably warm so attempting to try snowshoeing has been hit and miss all season. I’ve been able to try snowshoeing a few times this winter when we have gotten snow.
Our family’s first time trying was at local Winterfest event. We tried the types of snowshoes resembled wooden tennis rackets like you see pictures of Eskimos using.

A toboggan chute has been on my bucket list for a few years and I was really excited to finally cross it off.

I LOVE traveling but there always seems to be a part of my brain that shuts down when I’m trying to pack ALL of my clothing options into a suitcase. I’m a habitual overpacker because I tend to want to be prepared for any fashion emergency. My trip to the Pocono Mountains presented a packing challenge. I needed to fit ALL of my clothing options in one carry on suitcase. My challenge was that I didn’t want to pay the extra baggage fee for a 4 day trip. I’ve always previously driven to winter destinations so that I could overpack without limits but this trip was not an enjoyable driving distance for my time constraints.

During a recent visit to the Sandusky area, we found out about freighters that were frozen in Lake Erie near the bay in Huron, Ohio.
We immediately knew that we wanted to capture some shots of the freighters before and during sunrise. The first challenge was finding a close location to view them from.
Our first location involved a large fence and huge, giant, mounds of snow.
But….that didn’t stop us from taking pictures.
Our second location got even better.
Our final vantage point gave even better views along with the sunrise in site.
Thanks to my fellow travel bloggers (Far Flung Travels, Shalee Wanders, The Traveling Praters and Happiness is a hot pierogi) for joining me on this early morning adventure.
The views were worth the early wake up.
During our visit to the Sandusky area, we had perfect weather for a snowcation. The snow was falling down slowly and it felt like we were walking around inside a snow globe.

I was given the opportunity to try out rental ski wear from Get Outfitted. I used the rental company on a trip to visit family in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My boys are in a big growth spurt stage and we are constantly discovering items of clothing that fit weeks ago that don’t fit anymore. They also tend to grow out of their ski gear pretty quickly too which made using Get Outfitted a nice alternative to the frustration of searching multiple stores for gear for the trip.
