The new Bands in Residence at Carowinds will arrive tomorrow!

These three performers will be at the park from June 18-23.

🪕 Featherpocket @ Thunder Striker Stage: With a mix of rock’n’roll, country, bluegrass, folk, & more - we’re interested to hear what they’ll be playing!

🎺 Wave Magnetik @ Crossroads Gazebo: Have you ever heard a blend of EDM and jazz? Neither have we - but it sounds interesting! Hit the Crossroads gazebo this weekend to catch this trumpeter from Ohio.

🎸Michael Tracy @ Swim Up Bar: Listen to this singer-songwriter while kicking back in the adults-only pool at Carolina Harbor, as he blends classic rock, blues, and Americana music in his own original style.

We’ve been a little quiet on our house hunting updates, and had a few hiccups along the way (as these things go), BUT… we’re excited to say that we are closing on our new house NEXT WEEK! 😱

Huge thanks to our realtors The Carolina Standard for being patient with us and helping us through all the steps! Give them a follow if you’re house hunting in the Greenville or Spartanburg area.

Had dinner at Soby's downtown Greenville the other week. Shrimp and grits, fried chicken, and we love their cheddar biscuits! Wish they would bring back the S’mores brownie they had the first time we came years ago - it was one of our favorites!

An update about NightFlight Expedition has just been given by Dollywood’s park president Eugene Naughton!

The original Spring opening date will not be happening, but it sounds like we can now expect the ride to be opening closer to mid-August!

We are happy that it sounds like they are focusing on making sure that the ride will live up to the high standards we have come to expect from Dollywood. It’s not surprising that such an ambitious project may have needed some additional time to come to fruition.

We are excited and looking forward to when this ride does open, and we get to ride it for the first time!

Update on Night Flight Expedition: Dollywood is working hard to get the ride ready and now we are now looking at a mid-August opening.

We are glad they are working to make sure that the ride lives up to the high expectations that we all have for the park! And glad to have an update on the expected timeline.
