A 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.

What 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.

We recently spent a few days at the Caribe Royale, an all-suite hotel and convention center during the tail end of Spring Break for many elementary public schools. We don’t usually travel at this time of year to places that are family oriented because we are not big fans of crowds.
