This family-friendly bar and grill at 1720 N. Buckeye Avenue offers a large menu featuring burgers, steaks, salads and comfort food, along with patio and bar seating. One of their most unique options? The M&R PB&B burger, topped with peanut butter, Sriracha, bacon and pickles!

Whether you’re a bourbon lover or just enjoy discovering the stories behind iconic American brands, this stop gives you a little taste of Kentucky history—and bourbon, of course. 😉

Centennial Olympic Park spans 21 acres in downtown Atlanta and was home to the 1996 Olympic Games. While the park was the site of Olympic celebrations, it was also the location of the tragic July 27 bombing that killed two people.

In 2008, the park was damaged by a tornado that tore through downtown Atlanta, toppling two of its iconic 65-foot light towers. Today, Centennial Olympic Park welcomes millions of visitors each year and hosts a variety of special events.

Breakfast in Abilene, Kansas, and we found a place that absolutely lived up to the hype! 🤩🍳

Joe Snuffy’s blew us away with the incredible food, huge serving sizes, and the kind of friendly hospitality that makes you want to stay awhile. Every bite was delicious, and you definitely won’t leave hungry! 🥞☕️

We love finding local restaurants like this when we travel—places where the food is incredible, the people are welcoming, and the experience feels just as memorable as the destination itself. ❤️

If you’re ever in Abilene, do yourself a favor and add Joe Snuffy’s to your list!
