U.K. Honeymoon Part 2

featured-image

I now know that Classically Grace readers really enjoy travel content, because so many people visited my site after I posted the first honeymoon recap, my blog crashed! Preston (my husband and tech guy) usually gets a notification when the blog is overloaded, and he can optimize it, but so many people got on this time it just quit! So I apologize if you were trying to read the blog yesterday morning and afternoon, but it should be up and running again. In the next few months, he may try moving it to a different host, but in the mean time, here we are! Read more

Hello spring break! I have been on spring break mode since Friday afternoon when I had the day off work and Preston and I headed west to Nashville for the weekend. It was my first time visiting Nashville for more than a quick concert trip or leadership conference and our first time visiting the music city together. Read more

48 Hours in Charlotte

Saying I love Charlotte is an understatement. It has to be one of my favorite cities ever, and every time I visit I find myself loving it more. My family has been going to one Carolina Panthers game a year for almost 15 years now, and we have become fans of the team and the city. This year’s trip to Charlotte was for a different team. Our favorite UTK Volunteers played West Virginia in the Belk College Kickoff in the Panthers stadium.Read more

When I was getting ready to leave for Italy, one thing I could not get off my mind was souvenirs! I was so anxious about finding the perfect gifts and trinkets for all my friends and family. I kind of figured out what to get as I went from city to city, but I kept thinking how helpful it would have been if someone had told me what to keep an eye out for in each city. So today I am going to put together a list of the best souvenirs in most of the major Italian cities!Read more

A Magical Time in Venice

For years I have been told that Venice is dirty, smells bad, there isn’t much to see, and you only need to spend a few hours there. Coming from someone who only had three hours to spend there, I can confidently say, a few hours isn’t enough!!Read more

It’s Palio Time in Siena!

Ciao friends!! I am writing this on July 2nd, the night after the first Palio of the year. I have never seen anything like this event, and I had definitely never heard of it before coming to Siena for the summer. I wanted to do a blog post about this race in case anyone loves learning about historical things as much as I do! I also don’t want to forget anything that happened today, because it was honestly one of the neatest experiences I have ever had.Read more
