š” My Weekend Picks
If I had to narrow it downā¦
Concerts on The Dock - Live musicā¦ outdoorsā¦ You canāt go wrong! I absolutely love live music! It is the best way to wind down, you can even bring your picnic blanket or some chairs to be extra comfy!
Banana Pudding Festival - We will probably make the drive to Tullahoma for this one! Banana Pudding is one of my all-time favorite desserts! I may need a long nap when I get home, but Iām sure it will be worth it!
Thatās it for this week.
š Before You Head Out:
Weāve got a calm, springy weekend ahead in Huntsville, with mild days and cooler evenings. Grab a light jacket, find some fresh air, and make a little space for fun.
If you do make it to any of these events, come say hi! Iāll be the dad trying to convince my daughter that we probably shouldnāt get more banana pudding before we leave. After all, I need to stay awake to drive home!
Happy adventuring,
Ryan š
