Adventures in Red Bank and Ooltewah

-

 Hi and welcome! Let's go back and visit our first ever Saturday Adventure! When I came up with the idea to explore new areas local to us I remembered this antique store my friend Cortney had visited and I knew I wanted it to be our first stop! 

If you know me you know I don't really leave the town I live in. It has all the things I could ever want so I see no reason to venture past the city limits. This antique store though looked amazing online and is about an hour away in Red Bank so way way out of my comfort zone! I messaged Cortney to get some more details about the place and we came up  with a plan to meet for lunch and go shopping. It poured down the entire way there which almost made me abort the entire thing! 


I am gluten free so finding a place I can eat can make things a little difficult. Thankfully Mojo Burrito  was in the area and they were super careful when preparing my bowl! They changed gloves and even brought out fresh produce to use! After lunch we went next door to Dirty Jane's Antiques where we were met with the biggest fern I have ever seen! 


This place is huge and filled with many vendors who each have their own booth to sell their items. Here are some pictures! 









Afterwards we said goodbye to Cortney .  Look at that cute little pregnant belly! Veda is now 5 months old and the most squishy delicious baby! Click on her name and give her a follow. She is fun, super relatable, gives the best hair and make up tutorials and is a fabulous decorator! You won't be sorry! 




Elizabeth and I headed to Ooltewah and grabbed some  coffee at Wired Coffee Bar. Then we walked around Cambridge Square which is a place like out of the movies. It legit is a circle area with all these cute little shops and in the center is a common area you can hang out in. As you can see in the picture below  we had a small sunglasses mishap.






Our final destination was a place we had been eyeballing since it opened! It is called  Ooltewah Whistlestop and I love every single thing about this place! The building is sort of a triangle shape with three levels built right next to a train track! I love love love trains! Inside the tile is so magical that I took numerous pictures of the floor! They are famous for their milkshakes. These are not just an ordinary milkshake though they are like this gold medal in the Olympics of milkshakes! Added bonus they have a gluten free option!  To make things even better at each table they have trivia cards for you to play while you wait! They also serve a wide variety of food that I have heard is delicious, but haven't tried it for myself yet. This first Saturday Adventure was the perfect beginning to what we now look so forward to each week! As always you can find more pictures and videos  of our Adventures saved to my highlights on my Instagram page at SaturdayAdventuresInThe423

Saturday Adventures Birthday style!

  Today our Saturday Adventures were all about my daughter's 17th birthday party! As most of you know we love to visit coffee shops so we came up with a coffee date birthday party idea! We remembered  Ocoee Coffee Co. rents out spaces so we decided contact them! You guys they have the best prices I have ever seen! I will chat more about that in a bit, but let's first talk about all the fun things we did! Here are a few pictures from inside the room.  We rented out the Boathouse which can hold 20-25 people, but we had a total of 12  which felt perfect! Jenga and Uno were in the room so we played those while the girls arrived. The quoted rental price included a  $50 minimum to go towards purchase drinks or food and you pay for any amount over that. While we ordered and waited for our drinks the girls did a selfie scavenger hunt! Elizabeth and I had coffee there the week before to scope out ideas for this game! Here is the list we came up with feel free to screen ...

Adventures in Cleveland again!

We have explored so many cute places in Cleveland, yet somehow we still have more on our list! Our first stop was   Misfit Tacos off Stuart Road. We have heard about it, but had not visited until today. We will for sure be going back! For starters the tacos were wonderful! The customer service was superb and the place was so cute! Added bonus the prices were fantastic! We got the combo which comes with two tacos and  a side so we both chose queso and chips.  Next time we will share a queso and chips though because it was a big side and we couldn't finish it all. We shed a few tears as we threw our wasted leftovers away. Trust me when I tell you we thought of every scenario that would keep it good in our car while we were out and about so that we didn't waste in I mean it! Go grab you some tacos today and let me know which is your favorite!  After lunch we went to Brik Brak's which is hidden gem! I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE! How I have never been here is beyon...

 Good day and how are you!? Grab a cup of coffee and let's go and visit some of the first places we visited back in Sept. 2021! I would like to start out with a honorable mention of a place called The Tinker Fairies' Cottage in Ooltewah.  We went there on our second adventure, but only took a selfie. I have some videos saved to highlights on Instagram though. It is this adorable little house turned gift shop and I love it so much!  This place is right behind  Get Wired Coffee  , right up the road from the Ooltewah Whistlestop and down the road from The Shop on Main .  Hop on over to Ooltewah on Main street and plan your next Saturday Adventure with these 4 places! You will not regret it!  Now on to the Adventure at hand! My friend Jodi mentioned this place and it sounded like something right up our alley! She was spot on when she said we would love it! It is Vinterest Antiques in Hixson! I love love love old warehouses turned antique/vendor type pl...
