After a full day of exploring the Natchez Trace, you’d think Sarah and I would’ve called it a night — but adventure had other plans. Dinner led us to the Rattlesnake Saloon, a hidden cavern eatery where live music spills into the open air beneath a waterfall. From there, we chased the hum of Muscle Shoals and the soft glow of Florence, visiting the legendary Fame Studios and a purple-lit fountain shimmering in tribute to Prince. What began as a quiet road trip turned into a night filled with music, laughter, and a little bit of magic.
