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.

    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.

    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. 💁🏻‍♀️😂

    One of our favorite hikes close to Louisville right around the corner from Tioga Falls. It’s amazing what you’ll find if you just start hiking. 
Thunder was MORE than happy to get his webbed paws wet and splash around after hiking 5 miles.. I was just happy to find a bench. (Not pictured: me being afeared to get off said bench. 🐓) 
I can hike all day but there’s just something about heights when I’m untethered that gives me a wee pause. 🤦🏻‍♀️
