A Great Old School Sunday Day Trip

If you did the traditional Sunday drives growing up and loved it, then this is the trip for you! My husband and I enjoyed the day together. I would recommend for any older couples looking for a relaxing day together strolling around. Also great restaurant options.

Thoughts of the South

Hi there. We loved our trip! The only thing is three spots on the trip I have been to already so we did not go there again, but for others they may not have been there so it would be good for them

Secrets of the south

Overall the trio was a lot of fun. My partner and I enjoyed the stops along the way. I think we liked the idea of guess where more than the destinations themselves, however we did stop at a few other places while at don’t off the stops. Overall would recommend, we did buy more to try out.
