Aunt Sue's Delights, Butterflies and a Tale of Two Lakes

Ever had a spontaneous purchase lead to a whirlwind of unexpected adventures? That's exactly what happened during our recent visit to Perdido Key, FL when an impulsive kayak buy clashed with unrelenting winds. We kick this episode off by sharing how this mishap ignited an unexpected new excitement for paddling, setting the stage for Michele's surprise gift from Matt — her very own Old Town kayak. Join us for a spirited chat about our meticulous preparations, from intense workout routines to essential safety measures, all in anticipation of our future kayaking escapades. Plus, we reflect on our unforgettable experiences at Jazz Fest 2024, where we reveled in the electrifying performances of John Baptiste and The Killers, while bemoaning missing out on Neil Young and Crazy Horse. (We also explain why we intentionally skipped out on The Rolling Stones performance.)

As we ventured north into the Carolina's, we take you on a virtual trip with us to Aunt Sue's, a quaint ensemble of connected cabins offering mouthwatering food, tantalizing treats, and live music that captures the heart. Relive the magic of our serene canoe trip at Table Rock State Park in South Carolina, where Michele was accompanied by a graceful yellow butterfly—nature's little surprise. We then head "up the mountains" to recount our semi-urban paddling adventure at Lake Julian in Asheville, North Carolina, a unique blend of scenic canals juxtaposed with the striking Blue Ridge Mountains and Duke Energy plant backdrop. From the tranquility of natural settings to the vibrancy of semi-urban landscapes, this episode encapsulates the excitement and serenity of our memorable paddling journeys and what our "intentionally unintentional travels" brought us.
