Dollywood Parks and Resorts checks all the boxes for this theme park loving family.  Thrill rides, shows and awesome choices for a snack or meal make for a perfect visit! Nestled in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, Dollywood showcases local flavors and traditional Southern dishes as part of the in-park culinary experience. 

Their dedication to providing guests with authentic foods of the region is a refreshing step away from typical theme park fare.  Visiting Dollywood gives you the opportunity to not only enjoy rides and shows but to fully immerse yourself in the flavors of the Smoky Mountains!


​The words Dollywood and best-theme-park-food-ever, I think, go hand-in-hand.  Apparently, I'm not the only one that believes this to be true. Dollywood has received numerous accolades and awards through the years for their amazing food. 

Multiple adventures at Dollywood have provided us the opportunity to experience different dining and snack options, with many becoming our favorites.  So much so, that the statement, "let's try something new" goes awry every time!

​Although not considered a Southern classic, shout-out to Dippin' Dots for the most creative use of an Airstream trailer! On a hot, summer day, you can't go wrong with these nuggets of ice cream deliciousness!   They are cool and convenient for a snack on the go! 

There are so many incredible food options to try when you are visiting Dollywood!  Those highlighted are just a few of my favorites. Maybe next time, just maybe, I will try something different-a girl can dream, right?

As someone who loves to capture moments in time through photography, I'm always looking for ways to improve my photography skill set and techniques!

When my DSLR was fresh out-of-the-box, I was just a wee bit intimidated by all the buttons and settings. Obviously, I could start taking photos using auto mode, but I knew I wanted to get out of auto mode, learn to shoot manual and master those settings and buttons!

That's where Danielle comes into the picture - umm, see what I did there? Danielle is the creative force behind Live Wonderful Photography. In addition to her amazing skills as a photographer, she has a passion for teaching.

I signed up for a Live Wonderful Photography class that was just what I needed to feel confident about my equipment. I gained insight on all those buttons and settings, which ones I should be focusing on and most importantly, grew in confidence to explore and use manual mode whenever I am out shooting.

Storytellers Journey, an online course, is her newest offering and I can't wait to dive in; working at my own pace, going back and reviewing, adding to my knowledge base and improving my techniques! There is so much flexibility with this course and the information will always be available to you to watch as much as you like.

Please visit www.LiveWonderful.com/Journey for all the details and registration information. There is a pre-sale going on now until July 4th. You can snag this awesome course for $197 if you register before 11:59 pm on July 4th! But wait, there's more! (I've always wanted to say that!) Use my special code Fladventure25 to receive an additional 25% off! After the cut off time, the pre-sale will end and the course price will be $497.

In addition to the Live Wonderful website, information may be found on FB @livewonderfulphotography and Instagram @livewonderful_.

When you sign up using my code, I will not be receiving any compensation. I am passing the commission on to you for additional savings. I will have the opportunity to audit the course in the near future.

Let me know if you sign up! I would love to hear what you think and how the course has
helped you get off auto mode!
