Wishing you and your family a very blessed and joyous Christmas Day! May the Lord fill your heart with joy and gladness as you spend time with family this holiday season.

Our hope is that through all the hustle and bustle of the day you take time to reflect on the true reason for the season.

The Travel Lady Tours ended the 2024 tour season with a trip to Helen, GA. (December 4-6, 2024) We arrived to cookies, coffee, and hot cider at our hotel and then enjoyed a German dinner at Hofbrauhaus Restaurant. Some of the group choose to walk the half mile back to the hotel and enjoyed some shopping and Christmas lights along the way. We started Day 2 at the Outpost Gold and Gem Mine, then made a surprise stop at Nora Mill Granary (along with Jumping Goat Coffee and Nacoochee Antiques) before heading to Hardman Farm State Historic Site for a tour. The home was built in 1870 and is a wonderful example of Italianate architecture. The afternoon was free to shop and enjoy the town of Helen before dinner at Bigg Daddys Restaurant. Day 3 started with a "Golden Nugget" stop at Hofer's Bakery. This quaint little German Bakery has been selected by Trip Advisor as one of the Top Restaurants in the World. Lots of treats were purchased and we all agree "their apple and cherry turnovers " are amazing!! Our next stop was the beautiful little Crescent Hill Baptist Church (originally known as Nacoochee Presbyterian Church). This beautiful church is full of history and beautiful stained glass windows. It's a must see if you are in the area. Our last stop on the trip was the very interesting Folk Pottery Museum in Sautee Nacoochee. This museum is also a must see if you are in the area. We ate, we shopped, we laughed, we shopped, and we ate some more! It was a wonderful trip, with wonderful people, and a wonderful way to start the Christmas season! Until next year....

Bright and early start this morning with the most wonderful group of people! We are headed to Helen, GA to kick off the Christmas season. Merry Christmas from The Travel Lady Tours and friends and Starship Coach!

Hello everyone! I haven't posted anything in a while and wanted to jump on and update everyone! Steve and I have had a busy summer. After our last motor coach tour to Michigan and Wisconsin we took some time and traveled with friends on two different trips to the west coast. We had an absolute blast and made some wonderful memories.

Many of you have contacted me about 2025 and I am diligently working on the schedule and hope to have it out no later than October 15th if not sooner (I'm hoping for sooner ☺️ ). I have most of my locations locked in and I'm working on getting prices and nailing down the final details now. A couple of other dates are coming together and should be in place by next week.

Thank you to everyone that shared their pictures and posts from the Great Lakes trip. I had so many new contacts asking to be added to the email list. Steve and I can't thank you enough for your kind words regarding traveling with us. We are truly blessed with the best travelers!

We look forward to seeing those of you that are traveling with us to Helen, GA in December and we hope to see many of you in 2025. I will have lots of trips for you to choose from!

Happy September!!

The Travel Lady Tours departed on Friday, May 3rd for our first ever overnight Mystery Trip! Our first destination was Granville, TN, also know as Tennessee's Mayberry Town. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the T.B. Sutton General Store, toured all the historic buildings, and then closed out the day at the Outdoor Dinner Theater with another wonderful meal and the performance of the "Best of the "Darlings" Show. This little town is ran by approximately 240 volunteers that showed us so much "southern hospitality". It is definitely worth the drive. Look them up and go spend a day. You will not regret it.

After an overnight stay in Cookeville our second day (Saturday, May 4th) took us to Grundy County, TN and two great little cities, Tracy City and Gruetli-Laager (pronounced Groot-lee Lah-ger and it means). Our first stop in Tracy was the Farmers Market. We were greeted by the Mayor and Music. As always my group stimulated the economy 🤣 with purchases of honey, popcorn, jewelry, homemade lotions and jellies, and much more. From there we headed to downtown Tracy City (there are 3-100 plus year old businesses here) where we enjoyed a tour and lunch at Dutch Maid Bakery, before heading over to the Grundy County Historical Society Museum and Visitor Center where we learned all about Grundy County and Tracy City. (Coal was found here in 1840 and all 3 businesses were started by Swiss immigrants.) Iva with the Visitor Cener had prepared a fun little Scavenger Hunt for us. Then we were off to Gruetli-Laager (known as Gruetli until 1980 when the small community of Laager--originally known as Henley's Switch, and Gruetli were incorporated as a single city). In 1869 about 100 Swiss families purchased land in what would become the Colony of Gruetli (Gruetli means a new beginning). We toured the 1840's home and several other buildings on the grounds. The Grundy County Swiss Historical Society maintains the house and grounds through donations and grants and through volunteer help. They have a festival once a year to celebrate the settlement. This year's festival will be July 27th.

What a wonderful day! We started our day at The State Capitol with a guided tour and a meet and greet with Representative Kip Capley and Representative Clay Doggett., Then we enjoyed lunch at the Farmers Market before heading to the TN State Museum. After our visit at the Museum we had a guided tour of the Bicentennial Mall Park with the best Park Ranger, Jackson. He really knows his TN History! To end our day we enjoyed dinner and entertainment at Santa Fe Cattle Company. Dave and Daphne along with Rylee Barry did a fantastic job entertaining us. A big thank you to everyone that had a part in helping plan and coordinate this day and to those that traveled with us today!
