PHOTO TOUR: Exploring wild, wonderful West Virginia

September 18, 2021 By Michelle Rogers

In late August, my husband and I took a road trip to beautiful West Virginia for a long weekend. This is something that had been on my wish list for a while. Our daughter visited the New River Gorge area in Fayetteville, W.V. a few times and knew we would love it, so on her suggestion we decided to go. I was surprised to learn that it's not that far away - only about a 4-hour drive from our home Continue Reading

Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Michelle Rogers Healthy Living

In August my husband and I ventured to the southwest part of our state, North Carolina, for a much-needed few days in the mountains. While I have been to the Blue Ridge Parkway in the Asheville and Boone areas, I had never been south of Asheville. And visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has been on my destination bucket list for several years. To stay the least, this visit didn't Continue Reading

REVIEW: Renting a cabin for our mountain getaway

September 13, 2020 By Michelle Rogers

Recently my husband and I took a few days to get away to the mountains in the southwest part of our state, North Carolina.
