The next stop on our trip was a quick one! When we were going over the route we were going to take, we realized that we would be really close to Lynchburg and so we figured it was now or never to get to see the area and Jack Daniels Distillery. However, it is also possible to take a day trip to Lynchburg while staying in Nashville, so even if you aren’t on a road trip like us, it is still easy to fit Lynchburg in your travel plans. Driving from Nashville into Lynchburg was really beautiful and it was…
Visiting Belle Meade Plantation – Nashville, TN
Since I had been to Nashville before, we wanted to do something that I hadn’t done. When I came across Bella Meade Plantation, I was super excited. Not only did it seem rich in history and have gorgeous architecture, they also had huge ties to Thoroughbred breeding (and I love anything to do with horses!) Which made it the perfect next stop on our road trip! We booked tickets in advance for the tour so that we would be sure to get the very first tour spot of the day. It was really easy to book them online in advance,…
What to do in Saint Louis
Our first stop on our road trip was Saint Louis. We originally planned this stop because it was a place for us to just stay the night.

So, I thought that we would spend a few hours to see a couple of the major attractions. We started the morning off early – with tickets to go up to the top of the Arch at…
The Ultimate Road Trip Plan
Recently Manuel and I went on a massive road trip to explore so many different states and attractions. It honestly was one of the best trips that we have ever taken and even though we spent quite a bit of total time in the car, the locations were spaced out nicely and it never felt like we had to drive too far. I loved not having to fly anywhere or worry about luggage weights/amounts. It was great having our car at each location to use as we like. And we were able to shop without having to worry about shipping…
10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting a Business
I have a degree in Ag Business but I never set out with the intention of starting a business. In fact, I got my Masters in Human Resources because that is what I thought I wanted to do (I was very wrong). If you haven’t had a chance to hear how I ended up getting into all of this, you can read that here. Each day has certainly brought on new challenges, successes and lessons learned. Looking back over the last couple of years, there are things that I wish I would have been able to tell myself before starting…
