Another day, another ETIAS delay! 🙈 If you’re pla Another day, another ETIAS delay! 🙈

If you’re planning a trip to Europe, here’s one less thing to worry about for now. 🎉

The EU’s new travel authorization system has been “postponed indefinitely”, and there’s currently no confirmed launch date… 🤷🏻‍♀️

For many travelers, that means no ETIAS application is needed just yet. I’ll keep you updated when we know more!

I had no idea this small Indiana town has SO much I had no idea this small Indiana town has SO much to do! 🎉 We spent a few days exploring Corydon, Indiana, and it quickly became one of our favorite family getaways! ✨ 

(I’m not just saying that either, my oldest son LOVED it and asked to go back for his birthday next year!) 😇

What we did:

🏡 Stayed at the historic Oswell Wright House, built in the 1860s, complete with a huge backyard & friendly cats my kids loved! 🐈 

🛝 Possibility Playground (biggest accessible playground in the midwest!) @possibilityplaygroundcorydonin 

🍕 @swing_andslice for pizza, arcade games + mini golf- the train that brings kids their drinks was a huge hit!

🛍️ Corydon Extravaganza for antiques, vintage finds + crafts. I def bought a few things! 

🏘️ Downtown Corydon’s Hop & Shop

🌮 Lunch at Mr. Pancho- their salsa is so good!

🎢 @holidayworld , just 45 minutes away!

🦇 @squireboonecaverns - we did a cave tour with our 6 and 3 year old sons

🍔 Locals Bar & Grill: With windows facing the street, the kids were very entertained 

Corydon is walkable, full of friendly locals, and has WAY more to do than we realized. 🎉

We genuinely loved our time here and are already looking for an excuse to go back. ❤️

📍Save this one for your next family getaway! Only about 2 hours from Cincinnati and 30 minutes from Louisville
