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.

As a kid I always loved jumping from rock to rock As a kid I always loved jumping from rock to rock across different creeks.  Each time felt like such an adventure.  So I was super excited to see this sight when visiting Anderson Falls in Indiana.

Seeing the Crazy Horse Memorial, it’s hard to im Seeing the Crazy Horse Memorial, it’s hard to imagine the carving of this massive sculpture started with a single man.  For the first seven years of the project, Korczak Ziolkowski would climb hundreds of steps each day carving into the mountain with a single jackhammer powered by a faulty gas compressor.  Many times after making the climb, the old compressor would give out and he’d have to start the descent back down the mountain.  His dream to memorialize the Native American history and culture kept him moving forward though through these difficulties. 
While the project still has a ways to go before completion, it’s said to still be on schedule from Ziolkowski’s original 100 year estimate.  I would love to see it again once done.

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

Having seen bison before at Yellowstone and Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve I didn’t expect to be wowed from this experience, but we all thought it was amazing.  Our tour guide shared so many fascinating facts about the wildlife and was able to take the Jeep off roads to parts of the park not normally accessible by vehicle.
