My Hard Rock Cafe Pigeon Forge Pin Haul

August 10, 2016 by Dawn McAlexander

My Hard Rock Cafe Pigeon Forge Pin Haul

I was skimming through my phone just a few minutes ago and realized that I took pictures of my pins that I bought at Hard Rock Cafe Pigeon Forge that I never shared with you guys. I initially typed Pigeon Forget. Yep, I guess that was right. For those of you that do not know, Hard Rock Cafe Gatlinburg is now closed down and Hard Rock Cafe Pigeon Forge took it's place. … [Read more...] about My Hard Rock Cafe Pigeon Forge Pin Haul

Why It's Important To Buy Local When Traveling #travel #traveldeep AD

As you guys know we travel pretty often. One of the areas that we visit most is the Caribbean. While visiting this part of the world, I always make it a point to try to buy a decent amount of souvenirs.

I also buy from Dufry but I try to make sure that what I … [Read more...] about Why It’s Important To Buy Local When Traveling #traveldeep AD

Leftover Sand Idea: Make These Beautiful DIY Candles In Minutes

When we visited Panama City Beach, my aunt shared with me how she wanted to get sand to go in a bottle. I didn't even realize that was a "thing" until we went to a store that sold bottles specifically for this purpose. Naturally, I had to have one, too, so I bought myself a bottle and commenced to filling a Ziploc bag with sand. I brought it all home with me and used a funnel … [Read more...] about Leftover Sand Idea: Make These Beautiful DIY Candles In Minutes

Great Souvenir Idea: National Parks Service Passport #travel

On my trip to Sevierville last week, another blogger told us about the National Park Service Passport. This is similar to a national passport in that you can get cancellation stamps for visiting places - but these are just for the US National Parks. Better still is that the money spent for the National Parks Service Passport and other souvenir items they sell goes towards … [Read more...] about Great Souvenir Idea: National Parks Service Passport #travel
