Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m excited to write this post about my 2nd vacation of the summer! I had a great time exploring the beautiful state of Tennessee, and I can’t wait to tell you more about it, so here we go!
June 25th
This was the day that my 2nd vacation of the summer began. It was a day where we went on two flights and then we landed in Nashville. We did not do much on the first night, of course, but I did get some fun souvenirs because we made a stop at a store before going to our hotel. Oh, we got a really cool rental car it was a BMW, and it was fun to ride around in that during our vacation, and I kind of miss it! Well, that is it for day one. Now, on to day two.
June 26th
This was the first full day of this vacation, and we had a few activities planned. In the morning we went on a bus tour of Nashville. Our tour stopped at this really neat place that had stores and other businesses. I had fun doing a free moonshine tasting and going shopping, of course. I got a cute book called Hello, Nashville. I pick up books from this series when I see them. I really enjoyed this tour. Our next adventure was going to the Tennessee State Museum. This free museum is full of many interesting things that have to do with the state of Tennessee. I recommend visiting this museum if you happen to be close to it. After that, we got some food before going to our second tour of the day. Our second tour of the day was the Grand Ole Opry. This was an exciting tour that was full of music history. I find it exciting to be in a place that you have seen on TV . My favorite part of the tour was getting to see all the dressing rooms backstage. That night, we went out to two different bars in Nashville. We also went to a souvenir store and a candy store. I love going shopping at souvenir stores, and Nashville has some really good ones. It was a great vacation day!
June 27th
This was the day that we left Nashville and visited three fun attractions. Those attractions were Rock City , the Incline Railway , and Ruby Falls. Rock City is a very interesting attraction that has great views and lots of fun art based on fairy tales. The incline railway is an attraction that I really recommend visiting if you get the chance to. I never knew that a train could go on a track that were steep. When the train gets to the top, you are rewarded with beautiful views and a gift shop. The ride back down is pretty amazing as well. Our third attraction of the day was the beautiful Ruby Falls. Before going on our tour we got some lunch at the cafeteria. The flatbread that I had there was really good. Going down to the caves was exciting, and the falls were truly beautiful. I also highly recommend this beautiful and thrilling attraction. This was a day that was full of adventure.
June 28th
On this day, we did one of my favorite things to do while traveling, we went to the zoo. We went to the Chattanooga Zoo. This zoo is on the small side, but don’t let that stop you from exploring it. I got to see some very cute and interesting animals, including a red panda, a snake neck turtle, meerkats, and a tortoise. I got to feed a giraffe, that was a lot of fun. I also got to ride the beautiful carousel here twice. I loved that the horse I rode on had a purple ribbon on it. Our second adventure of the day was going to the Lost Sea adventure. This attraction is where you get to visit an underground lake. It was truly amazing to get to ride on a boat underground. I recommend visiting this exciting attraction if you get the chance to.
Thank you for reading this part of my Tennessee adventure.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m still pretty far from being caught up with my blogging, but I’m excited to write this post! I’m not sure of the year that this tradition began, but every summer, I do what I call a mall weekend. On Friday I go shopping at the Dollar Tree and on Saturday I go shopping at the mall. I had a great time this year, and I’m excited to tell you more about it, so here we go!
June 21st
This was the day I went to the Dollar Tree. My friend joined me for my mall weekend this year. I went to my favorite local Dollar Tree store. I like this location because it is a good size and it is always clean. I got some fun items, including Ty Plush Key chains, sand toys, stickers, a Barbie workbook, puppy in my pocket toys, home decor, and pens. This location has a good selection of items. I love the cross decoration that I got. Some other items I got on my Dollar tree shopping spree were a box of crayons, a pack of paper fans, a pack of frog party favors, and a note book with a Bible verse on the cover. It was a fun and successful start to mall weekend!
June 22nd
Today was the big day! It was officially my mall day! When I got to the mall I went to Claires. I got some hair bows and other cute items! I went to many different stores during my mall shopping spree, including Old Navy and Hallmark. I also went to the Target that is attached to the mall. I got so many fun items from various stores. Some of the items I got were stickers, including barbie stickers, a Barbie mug, hair bows, a sand art kit, cups shaped like pineapples, and more! I also made a new plush bear at Build a Bear Workshop. I love going to Build a Bear Workshop on my mall weekends! I was so happy that I saw the bright and colorful bear that I wanted to make. I named my bear tropical sunshine. She is an awesome addition to my collection. Another thing I did was to go to the Taco Bell at the food court. As you can tell, I had a really good mall weekend, and I got a lot of items and I also had fun taking pictures in the photobooth!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! There has been a lot going on in my life lately. Some of it has been good, like crossing off bucket list items and shopping at fun places like Five Below and Target, but on the other hand, I got bronchitis. It has been hard to keep up with blogging, but I will get there. For now, please enjoy the third and final part of my Missouri vacation!
June 13th – On this day of vacation, I crossed off a big bucket list item when I went parasailing! Before we went parasailing, I had a fun time feeding fish. They had fish food that you could buy, and large fish, including cat fish, came to eat the food when it was thrown into the lake. Going Parasailing was amazing, and I highly recommend it to anyone who does not have a fear of heights. It feels like you are flying. I’m so glad that I bought the photo package. The photos turned out great! It was also fun having my toes dipped in the water. I was very happy to cross this item off my bucket list, and I would love to do it again. Our next activity was going hiking at Ha Ha Tonka State Park. It was a beautiful place to explore. Our hike had a lot of stairs, and it was a warm day, so needless to say that I was very happy to be back in the air-conditioned car when our hike was complete. After the hike we went to the visitor’s center where I bought some things to remember this very beautiful state park. After our adventures, it was time to eat. We went to a really nice restaurant that had good views and a good veggie burger. Later on in the day, we went to a go cart track. I road with my mom because driving is not my thing. I enjoyed the ride. It was a very adventurous day of vacation.
June 14th – On this day, we left Lake of the Ozarks and went back towards where the airport is because we were leaving early the next day. We still had one day left to have fun, and that is what we did. Our first big adventure of the day was going to Buc-ee’s . I had never gotten a chance to go before, and now that I had one, I was gonna take it. I do have to say that this was one of the most busy places that we visited on our vacation. I love how this place stays on theme. I just had to take a picture with the beaver statue out in front. when I was in the store, I got to meet Buc-ee himself! I did a good amount of shopping here. I’m happy to say that I’m the owner of a Buc-ee beaver plush and more cute items from this place. I had a lot of fun there but the next place I went to was so amazing. I really hope I get to go back there some day. That place is the world’s largest toy museum complex. There are two buildings filled with displays of all different kinds of toys! My favorites included the amazing collection of 90’s lion king toys, the Crayola display, The Star Trek toys, The My Little Pony collection, the TY beanie babies, and the room full of Barbies! I spent a good amount of the in the Barbie room. It was a very impressive collection. There are also fun things outside of the museum, including a large Barbie Roller skate. After the museum we had some time before our next activity so we went to a park. It was a cute park and it was a good place to spend some time before we went to see a wonderful play that evening. We saw the Queen Esther play at Sight and Sound theatres. To say this play was awesome would be an understatement! It was truly something that everyone should see. The theater itself was an amazing work of art. If you ever get the chance to go see a play here, I highly recommend it!
June 15th – This was the day we went home. We had a very early flight, so we did not get much sleep at all. In the airport that morning, I did my last round of souvenir shopping before getting on the plane to go home. It was a great vacation!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I went on an amazing vacation this month, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it! I have a lot to tell you, so I’m going to write a few different blog posts about this vacation, but this is the first one, so let’s get to it!
Missouri adventure day one June 9th
One of the biggest challenges when it’s comes to vacation is getting there! It took two flights to get to Missouri. After getting our bags and rental car, we checked into our beautiful hotel! It had been a long travel day, but we still wanted to have some fun on our first day. First we ate at a very wonderful Mexican restaurant. After eating we went to play mini golf. however, this was not just any mini golf course. It was the shoot for the stars mini golf . This is the mini gold course that I have on my bucket list. I was excited to cross off another item off of my bucket list. We had a lot of fun playing minigolf and this course was a lot of fun. I love the Hollywood theme. I’m glad that I had this mini golf course on my bucket list. After playing mini golf, we went to Walgreens, where I got some fun souvenirs. It was a great first day of vacation.
Missouri adventure day two June 10th
This was our first full day of vacation. Our first adventure of the day was going to Dogwood Canyon Nature Park. This place is bucket list worthy. There are a lot of amazing things there, including a tree house that was on the show TV treehouse masters. I wish I had gotten time to explore it. I did, however, get to go on an amazing tour that included seeing some very cute Buffalo and a Texas Longhorn. The tour also included a stop at a wedding chapel. I also went to the gift shop, of course. I really want to go back to this place. My next adventure on this day was going to the butterfly palace. I also highly recommend going to this attraction. I loved getting to see all of the butterflies, and I also loved the mirror maze. I also want to go back to this place. There were so many beautiful butterflies. My last adventure on this day was going to visit Top of the Rock. The highlight of this attraction for me was going on a golf cart ride that included going through a cave that had a bar inside. There was a very beautiful wedding chapel that I got some good pictures of. I also enjoyed shopping at the gift shop here, of course. Later that night, I went to the pool at the hotel. It was a wonderful vacation day.
Hello, my bucket list friends. My summer has been very fun so far but also very busy, so I’m putting a few of my early summer adventures into one blog post.

June 5th, 2024
On this day, I went to my favorite local thrift store. There were a lot of Barbie dolls there , and that is something that I like to see. I got a few Barbie dolls, and of course, I was very happy about that. I was also very happy about the Lisa Frank tanktop that I found. I got a lot of other great items, including a box of beads, stickers, TY Beanie Babies, and a book about horses. It was a very good thrift shopping trip!
June 6th, 2024
On this day I went to the mall. The first thing I did was go to Target and pick up the order that I had made. I was excited to pick up my summer craft kit! After that, I went and got a much needed massage. Since I was at the mall, I went to Claire’s, and I got some fun stuff from the clearance section. Before leaving the mall, I went to the food court. I ate at the Taco Bell cantina. I got a slushy in one of those super long cups. It was a successful mall trip, and I love days like this one.
June 7th, 2024
This day, I went to the movies with my amazing friend! We saw the movie Garfield, and it was cute. We both enjoyed it. We also went to Panera Bread for lunch! It was another great summer day. I also went shopping at work because it was a special discount day.
My summer is going great so far, and I hope yours is too!
