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.

Tower Falls was pretty amazing. Named for the roc Tower Falls was pretty amazing.  Named for the rock formations that resemble castle towers, this spot is worth the stop.  Supposedly around 8:00 am there’s a rainbow that appears near the bottom of the falls, but we never found the path to get down there.  The view from the overlook was still awesome! #yellowstonenationalpark #yellowstone #ynp #nationalparks #findyourpark #nature #waterfall #parkroamers #forest #overlook #rocks #travel #adventure #explore #wyoming #thewanderwells
