    Not that we drink coffee… but 10/10 will go to a vibey coffee shop for a hot tea ☕️ 🖤
Strolling the adorable Main Street of #madisonindiana was well worth the chilly wind. Loved every second of our mini couples getaway with some of our favorite humans! 
Madison is only about an hour from where we live in Louisville so we’ll def be back for a few summer concerts and yummy food down by the rivvaaaaa.

    10/10 would walk the sun drenched rows of the Neon Museum again. ✨
If you haven’t been to Vegas - it really is so much more than a first timer thinks it will be. From world class food to everything being just a little brighter than you’re used to (not to mention covered in glitter or sequins), there’s always something happening in this glittering desert city.

One of our favorite Louisville hiking trails is Paw Paw to Chinkapin Loop. Perfect if you have doggies who like to play in the water! 
P.S. 🦟season has started. Grab your bug spray southern friends 👌🏼

    It’s only Wednesday… and I suspect a well-earned cocktail break will be headed my way this weekend as we hang doors at the Airbnb cottage, maybe go for a hike since the 164893 days of rain have finally stopped and clean the house a little? 
Of all of our favorite places to quietly grab a an adult beveragé (#fancylike), the ones with moody interiors, tucked away in peaceful parts of the city and picture perfect craft drinks are my favorite. 
If you know you know fam.

    A good day doing what Kentuckians do: a little horse back riding. 🖤
Went #horsebackriding through the Smoky Mountains near Asheville and could not have asked for prettier weather. Most people thing you want sunshine and perfectly clear skies… but sometimes those cloudy days are really where it’s at!! When the clouds sit low over the mountain and you’re riding through on a horse - just something special about it.

    Architecturally satisfying restaurants with good wine lists and mimosa flights make me happy 🖤
P.S. The gals taught David Colton a valuable life skill on our family weekend away in West Virginia: how to take good photos for the gram. His Dad was SUPER happy about it. 💁🏻‍♀️😂
