February 21, 2018 By Nedra McDaniel 4 Comments

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.

An Ice Skating Trail in the Woods That You Need to Visit

An Ice Skating Trail in the Woods That You Need to Visit

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.

5 Adventures to Try at Crystal Mountain

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.

Why snowshoeing is not my favorite but it’s good for me

Why snowshoeing is not my favorite but it's good for me

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.

How I fit all of my ski clothes in a carry on suitcase

How I fit all of my ski clothes in a carry on suitcase

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.

Sunrise Views of Freighters Frozen in Lake Erie

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.

The views were worth the early wake up.

Snowshoe Trek to Lake Erie from Sawmill Creek Resort

Renting Snow Gear from Get Outfitted

February 5, 2015 By Nedra McDaniel 1 Comment

Renting Snow Gear from GetOutfitted

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.
