    The Ultimate Balkan Road Trip

    June 14, 2022 / 1 Comment

    The Balkans are such a beautiful area of Europe, that after visiting Slovenia and Croatia in 2016, we returned in 2017 to make a Balkan road trip.

    Grandfather Mountain: climbing rocks and a swinging bridge

    June 3, 2020 / 11 Comments

    Back in 2015 we drove the Blue Ridge Parkway, which was simply beautiful. During our drive we stopped at several attractions just off the parkway. Grandfather Mountain was one of them, and was well worth our time. Yuri loved climbing the rocks and we enjoyed the grand views on the Blue Ridge Mountains. Where is Grandfather Mountain?
