My new YouTube video is up! In this one, I tour the super cool looking upside down building in Pigeon Forge, TN, WonderWorks.
It was packed with about everything you could think of. We got to see a ton of exhibits, ride a 3d theater, make huge bubbles, and climb a huge rock wall. Paying one fee and getting to do these things actually made it an awesome value in the Smoky Mountains!

Taking you on a complete full tour of Ace Adventure Resort in Oak Hill West Virginia to find out what this massive outdoor playground is all about.
Watch me claw my way through the massive inflatable obstacle course and fly down inflatable slides like the cool kids do. I also conquered the monster canvas slide featuring a wild five foot drop right at the end that catches you completely off guard and dunks you in the lake. During the well worth it struggle, we managed to track down some extremely good street corn pizza that I ate way too much of!

Did you know you can explore the historical Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke University for just $20 each?
That's what we paid and we had a BLAST! We started in the newly created Rubenstein Pavilion. In it, we saw some really amazing Duke historical items! Then we moved to Coach K Court. What a surreal feeling to be standing on what we've seen on TV a million times. After that, we moved upstairs and saw a full hallway honoring all the standout players that laced up at Duke. We wrapped up the day in a Duke men's basketball museum. Seeing the national championship trophies was one of the coolest basketball moments I've ever had!
I say "one of" because the coolest was bumping into Cayden Boozer in the parking lot! He saw I was freaking so I went for it. He was polite and I didn't want to waste hardly any of his time. I thanked him and he went on to practice! What an amazing experience!

Stepping into The Gem Theater feels like walking straight into the past with all that antique charm. It is easily one of my favorite local spots to catch a flick.
The best part is that the prices actually match the vintage vibe. Matinee tickets cost just $2 each. We loaded up on snacks with 2 large drinks, 1 medium drink, 1 medium popcorn, 1 small popcorn, and 3 candies, and the total for all of that food was only $18.
If you want a cheap weekend movie day or a fun spot for a date night you have to check this place out.

Spotted this cool little treasure at Carowinds. This little Nighthawk souvenir brings back a lot of memories. Mainly the first time I rode Nighthawk and panicked the second it flipped over lol. Small souvenirs like this pack the biggest punch when you love amusement park history.
Do you have any Nighthawk memories? Let me know in the comments!

The Toothfairy scare maze sign is already peeping through the trees, waiting for its next patient this Halloween season at SCarowinds. Walking past it in the daylight hits differently when you know exactly what is waiting inside those walls once spooky season starts. It's one of my favorite haunted houses (mazes) at Carowinds!
Are you brave enough to step inside this year, or are you strictly sticking to the roller coasters? 👇

Hot take: The Creamy Baked Pasta at Leonardo’s is one of the best meals at Carowinds. 🍝
I have always really liked this dish, but it is hitting entirely different nowadays. They are putting more sauce on it lately, which means zero dry noodles and better flavor.
If you are tired of standard theme park food, grab a bowl of this over at Leonardo's Hometown Pizza next time you are in Celebration Plaza and tell me how you like it.
Have you tried the baked pasta since they upgraded the sauce ratio?
