A Former Top Secret Bunker Hidden in a Hotel for 30+ Years
On our way to Washington, D.C. on a family vacation, we took the longer, scenic route through the mountains.
We discovered a beautiful resort along the way that had both history and mystery nestled in the hills of West Virginia.
The Greenbrier Hotel, located in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, started out of the popularity of the sulfur springs that were discovered there in 1778.
It’s also the site of a former top-secret bunker.
…Tips for Visiting the Gap Clearance Center
There is a place in Northern Kentucky that is a favorite discount shopping destination of mine.

…Missing the Mark – Our Valentine’s Day Fail
I have a friend who is great making family traditions for holidays (even those lame Hallmark ones.) April Fool’s Day is even a big deal in her family!
Just ask the friend who ate a chocolate gnash covered cotton ball while visiting.
(I’ll admit that one was a pretty good prank)
She inspires me to put effort and details to create memories and traditions for my family.
So this year I thought I would try to make Valentine’s Day a little more special. I missed the mark and that’s ok. My perfect day had more of the elements of a drama and endings of a romantic comedy.
