It’s always enjoyable when I keep my travel bug well fed. Thankfully, from Tennessee to Central Florida… there’s no shortage of possibilities fit for exploring.

1. Devil’s Den


Located in Williston, Florida, this prehistoric spring attracts many explorers. Looking at it from up top, it looks like a black hole in the earth. Walk down the stairs and find the stunning underwater cave. The water stays around 72 degrees year around, making it perfect for scuba divers summer and winter. They will provide snorkeling gear (breathing mask and flippers) for $30.

2. Blue Cove Hideaway


Visit the rock quarry in the boondocks near Athens, Tennessee. The family whom owns the property, opened it to the public and now charges a $5 fee. Get out of the summer heat to spend a day filled with cliff jumping, swimming, homemade zip lining, and rope swinging.

3. Blue Spring State Park


Start by walking under the treetops and over the bridges, take a look around at your surroundings. Alligators will be across the river and a variety of birds will be flying around. Visit the manatees during the months of November through March. Want to get a closer look? They offer kayaks, canoes, and river cruises.

4. Dick's Creek Falls

This Dahlonega, Georgia destination is combined with hiking, waterfalls, and scenic beauty. Sliding down the slippery rocks, jumping into underwater holes, and swimming are just a few things you can do here. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts!

5. Shell Island


Shell Island is a seven mile stretch of land in between the Gulf of Mexico and Panama City beach, Florida. Everyone in the group can have their own personal adventure. Take a boat and go fishing! Panama City beach has some of the best fishing along the entire Gulf Coast. Another option would be experiencing snorkeling the right way... Rockfish, hogfish, hermit crabs, baby seahorses, and more! Wondering what the name is all about? Sand dollars, moon snails, conch shells, pin shells, periwinkles, whelk and olive shells are just a few to name. The island is full of nature and it is enforced that you leave it the way you found it.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
