Spending a year in the Southeast has been an eye opening experience for me. I have to say, at least from a Midwesterner's perspective, the Southeast is highly underrated. It's not always easy to get to from the Midwest which might be part of the problem, but it has been a lot of fun exploring the Southeast the past eight months, even with a one year old in tow. People are always asking us for travel suggestions so over the next few months, I will be highlighting some of our favorite Southeast weekend trips - hope you enjoy!
