SouthernApp 1A great little hidden gem in Hendersonville, North Carolina awaits anyone in search of great, small batch beer, good music and a relaxed atmosphere near the heart of downtown.

While this is certainly a kid and family-friendly establishment, it was just my girlfriend and I on our recent visit. We had browsed the quaint historic shops in downtown and ended with pedicures on Main Street so a little refreshment reprieve seemed in order and some cold beer at a local brewery sounded terrific. Fellow folks getting pedicures earlier that day had told us that it was a must stop in Hendersonville. They were right.

at Sanibel IslandSanibel Island is best known for the Sanibel Stoop. It isn’t the term used in New York City for front porches. Instead, it is the motion of bending down to look for shells. And shelling is one of the favorite family activities on Sanibel Island beaches.

Located close to Fort Meyers along the Gulf of Mexico, Sanibel Island is a hot vacation spot for families. Because of the large conservation area, you will find unspoiled landscapes, wildlife and tropical greenery. Activities for parents and children abound.

cville off the beaten pathWhat do a historic hand poled ferry, a small town with big festivals, wineries, the home of the 5th president of the United States, and tubing have in common? Each are part of a one day itinerary featuring off the beaten path attractions in Charlottesville Virginia. 

When most people think of visiting Charlottesville Virginia, they think of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and the campus of the University of Virginia. While it is true that this southern town is home to both, it is also home to many other adventure attractions that make Charlottesville a perfect road trip destination for mid-Atlantic families.
