One of the amazing things about the West Baden Spr One of the amazing things about the West Baden Springs and French Lick hotels are all the spots they’ve created for guests to relax and soak up the scenery.

Our first hike to Clingmans Dome. With 360 degree Our first hike to Clingmans Dome.  With 360 degree views of the Smokies and sunsets like this I definitely understand why it’s such a popular spot.  It might be a half mile uphill to get there but it’s worth it!

When visiting Mount Rushmore National Memorial you When visiting Mount Rushmore National Memorial you should try the TJ ice cream!  This is the same recipe Thomas Jefferson originally brought to the US and made popular during his presidency.  It’s supposedly the first written ice cream recipe in the country, created in 1780.  I don’t really need an excuse to enjoy ice cream, but definitely couldn’t pass up historic ice cream!

We’re back in the saddle and excited to be explo We’re back in the saddle and excited to be exploring again!  Mount Rushmore and the surrounding areas of South Dakota have been on our list for awhile now.  It’s great to finally experience them.  When looking for a unique family friendly adventure check out the stables at the Palmer Gulch KOA resort.

Palmer Gulch offers three different trail rides through the Norbeck Wildlife Preserve.  It’s a fun way to see this beautiful part of the Black Hills National Forest/Custer State Park.  And the staff is great at teaching the basics of horse riding to beginners and kids. 📸: @howeyeseeitphotography

We love visiting new places, but we also enjoy exp We love visiting new places, but we also enjoy exploring our own backyard.  This weekend we checked out the Christkindlmarkt in Carmel, Indiana.  This holiday bazaar features traditional German foods, music, and a marketplace of German goods. The atmosphere of craft stalls, outdoor ice skating rink, and thousands of Christmas lights is absolutely magical.  This is the second year Carmel has hosted this amazing event and our second year attending.  It’s definitely become a new family tradition.
