Luminous Lagoon

The Jewel Dunns River has a great selection of off property excursions. We decided to check out the options one morning at their help desk. We looked over the various excursions and picked the Luminous Lagoon. This excursion takes place at the Glistening Waters Marina, which is about 45 minutes from the resort. 
Once at Glistening Waters you are welcomed with a rum punch and you sit and wait for it to get dark. Then boats come up to the dock and you load up to take a 35 minute tour of the marina. Once you get so far out you can start to see the water turn a different color. There are microorganisms that live in the water where the salt and fresh water mix. Once disturbed the glow a bright blue. This was such an amazing experience. We rode around with Jerry, who was the original tour guide since this started, and he told us the history of this marina. 
 Once you are so far out they let you jump off the side of the boat and swim. It was absolutely amazing being in the water. The organisms stick to your skin and clothes so when you lift anything out of the water it looks like your skin is glowing/sparkling. It is hard to describe, but the feeling while you are there is magical.
I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone.

Fall Fun in the Park

This weekend the trio hopped back on their Remember the Removal bikes and took a ride in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This is a beautiful time of year to visit the park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The weather has been warm in the afternoon so we decided to take a ride while the weather was so nice. The sun was shining bright, the leaves are gold, orange, red and since it is prime leaf looking season cars everywhere! Besides the heavy traffic we enjoyed our ride. The elk were out enjoying the sun and a late lunch. The leaves falling as we rode to Smokemont Campground made the ride a fall dream. The colors were so vibrant and crunching under the wheels. I loved having a moment to just enjoy the outdoors even if I'm paying for it today. The soreness has set in because I haven't been on my bike in months, but it was so worth it! Since we are all busy with work and travel we have to find ways to stay healthy. Biking is a good way for us to do that and I loved spending th...

Scottish Highlands and the Hairy Coo!

Traveling North outside of the city is quite an adventure. You have two bridges to choose from, one old sturdy bridge or a newer bridge with wider space, both are architectural beauties! We traveled by coach on a tour through Viator. It was the most convenient option for traveling through the Highlands and getting on the Jacobite aka, the "Harry Potter Train." This was an overnight tour from Edinburgh to Fort William with several stops along the way. We heard so many stories along the way about Mary Queen of the Scots, the Loch Ness and Nessie, Jacobites, wars, Glen Coe and whiskey. Coming from the mountains of WNC we found a lot in common with the Highlanders, very similar stories of little people, whiskey/moonshine, and folk music. Made us feel like we were riding around home! I really enjoyed our tour guide and the tour overall, I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting an easy navigation through the Highlands. There is just so much I can say about how amaz...
