Bucketlist experience✔⁣ 🛩⁣ 🛩⁣ Have you ever had a bucket-list experience you did not even know was on your list? That's what happened to me when I had the opportunity to take a ride in a historic open cockpit biplane when visiting Sevierville! It had never occurred to me I would ever have the opportunity to do something like that....until I did! And oh boy...I was both super excited and super nervous!⁣ 🛩⁣ 🛩⁣ I am a super nervous flier, especially in small planes! I was expecting a lot of noise and a lot of wind, but it was not like that at all! Meeting owner/pilot Marc, I was immediately put at ease with his confidence and enthusiasm with both his plane and flying. After learning a bit about Marc and his plane it was time to take flight!⁣ 🛩⁣ 🛩⁣ Here's a few things I learned that surprised me:⁣ 🛩 In a biplane the pilot sits in back behind the passenger⁣ 🛩 Because of this arrangement the pilot will zigzag when taxiing down the runway to see where they are going⁣ 🛩 Once in the air it was much more quiet and much less windy then expected⁣ 🛩 The ride was also much more smooth and peaceful than expected⁣ 🛩 Since biplanes fly at a lower altitude if is a phenomenal way to see an area!⁣ 🛩⁣ 🛩⁣ Wow! What an amazing way to get a 'birds-eye view' of a destination! Highly reccommend!⁣ 🛩⁣ 🛩⁣ Have you ever had a bucket-list experience you did not know was on your bucket-list?

We just published our guide to an adventurous, romantic getaway to Sevierville. This trip was bittersweet for me because Ed couldn't join me because of last-minute health issues (DVT), but he's doing much better now. One of the activities he was really looking forward to was fly fishing.⁣ 🎣⁣ 🎣⁣ My romantic getaway 'all by my self' (cue Shrek clips....) wasn't too lonely. I ended up making great friends at the Gathering of Writer's workshop that I explored Sevierville with. The picture is @bykatemorgan learning to flyfish. This was her first time learning to cast, and she did great. Look at that beautiful arc.⁣ 🎣⁣ 🎣⁣ Sevierville was even more beautiful than expected with romantic (and luxurious!) cabins, relaxing massages, epic biplane flights, super-fast zip lines, and yummy food. Everything felt naturally social-distanced too. Thank you @visitsevierville for a wonderful visit, a Gathering of Writers for pulling this together, and my new friends @wanderwithwonder @shannondtravels @katysjoyce and of course flyfishing prodigy @bykatemorgan . I can't wait to return to Sevierville with Ed and show him how beautiful and fun it is there❣⁣ 🎣⁣ 🎣⁣ Have you ventured out yet for a memorable (and socially-distanced) day trip or road trip yet? We would love to hear about it in the comments 😊

What do you look for when choosing a destination?

What do you look for when choosing a destination? For Ed and I, it always boils down to what type of outdoor adventure can be had there or nearby. Nowadays, that is even more important to us, with the natural social distancing outdoor activities tend to provide! In general, we shy away from cities and suburbs in favor of mountain or beach towns...but that isn't always the case. ⁣ 🚲⁣ 🚲⁣ We love it when a town or city has lots of green spaces incorporated throughout, which is one of the reasons we love visiting Carmel Indiana in Hamilton County. Not only is the town legit adorable with a thriving foodie scene and a lovely river to kayak or tube, but check out the green space built around the Monon Trail! The Monon Trail is a 27-mile paved path and Rail-Trail Hall of Fame Inductee running right through the middle of Carmel and down to Indianapolis. ⁣ 🚲⁣ 🚲⁣ We loved the trail so much we decided to devote this weeks post to giving you The Ultimate Guide to the Monon Trail including a downloadable interactive map with our favorite food and beverage stops and street art along the way❣(link in bio)⁣ 🚲⁣ 🚲⁣ What do you look for when choosing a travel destination?

Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. - Walt Disney⁣ 🕯⁣ 🕯⁣ Carmel Indiana feels like a town without shadows. It's clean, affluent, and beautiful. You can just look at how the Monon Trail cuts through the arts district and imagine Ralphy getting a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas.⁣ 🕯⁣ 🕯⁣ We loved our recent road trip to Hamilton County, but this week, the shadows crept in. If you're following our blog, you would have seen that Ed was laid up on the couch with DVT, and Jenn had to take a romantic trip to Sevierville without him. It was dark, and kind of scary, but it looks like the worst of it has passed. It's times like these that I like to remember what Eleanor Roosevelt said - It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.⁣ 🕯⁣ 🕯⁣ How are you coping these days?

Ever since I first road the Monon Trail near India

Ever since I first road the Monon Trail near Indianapolis, I knew I wanted to take Ed here. He just loves the feeling of riding and the wind blowing through his (crazy physicist) hair. We finally made our return trip last weekend and rode almost all of the 27-mile long trail from Carmel first north on day 1, then south down to Indy on day 2.⁣ 🚲⁣ 🚲⁣ There was some construction on the north end, but we added the Cultural Heritage Trail through downtown Indy on the south end. The photo is Ed doing laps around Obelisk Square in Indianapolis. In case you're curious, Ed did just did laps as I flew the drone, but he does loves the wind in his hair lol.⁣ 🚲⁣ 🚲⁣ What's your favorite ride?
