Last night I took my Grandma for a ride in the car to look at some Christmas Lights. She was so happy to see all the different types. I don’t think that she was as judgmental as I was. Here are some of the best ones we saw around the Chicagoland area.
After driving all day from Fort Lauderdale I was tired and just wanted a place to put my head. After looking at the reviews online I knew where I wanted to stay … The Chattanooga Hotel in downtown Chattanooga, TN. Now I know Chattanooga is not a huge destination for people to visit but if you are looking for a delightful hotel to check into after being on the road all day this is the one. I pulled up and knew I made the right choice. After checking in with Brandon who was delightful he told me that the bar was open till 12. He also said that he upgraded me to a deluxe room. Now I know this won’t happen to everyone but I thought it was a nice gesture.
I wasn’t planning on having a drink but I knew it would be relaxing and I could catch the end of Monday Night Football. After a couple of beers, I came back up to my room to snuggle into my robe and get a little work done.
I was looking to my left and see a canvas photo that says Point Park. I decided to Google what that was and I think I might have found a fun day trip before I continue heading north.
The beds were comfortable, there are outlets under the nightstand, and the bathroom had plenty of counter space, good water pressure, and nice amenities provided. My room also had a small refrigerator, single cup Keurig, and a closet with a safe, iron and ironing board. My favorite part was the robe. I feel like I am in a nice hotel when they provide a robe for you to lounge in. I will absolutely be back and can’t wait to see what else I can experience while in Chattanooga.
I have visited Covington, GA twice now. Both times I have been to this delightful town it makes me want to keep going back. Along with the southern charm they have a host of local restaurants all located inside the town square. I have eaten at Bradley’s Bar-B-Que and the Mystic Grill. Both were great but in their own ways. I heard about Bradley’s while I was on the Vampire Stalkers tour and the Mystic Grill is famous all on its own thanks to The Vampire Diaries. Bradley’s was exactly what I was looking for when I thought about getting some Bar-B-Que for lunch. Little did I know that they were also fans of the show The Vampire Diaries. If you ask they will Vamp your sandwich for you complete with fangs and blood. – www.bradleysbbq.com
I learned on my tour that the Mystic Grill was something that was created by the show and then years later after the building suffered a fire the town Mayor took it upon himself to build what all the fans of the show wanted, a place to actually eat. “Inspired by two communities: the family and fans of The Vampire Diaries and the small town community we call home. The television series, filmed here in Covington, inspired partners John & Angi Beszborn and Ronnie & Kelley Johnston to bring the on screen restaurant to life.” – www.mysticgrill.restaurant
The Vampire Diaries is the reason I heard of the quaint little town called Covington, GA the people and the food are the reasons why I will be back.
