Sound of Music Sites in Salzburg, Austria

The hills are alive... with the sound of music! While you won’t encounter many locals raving about the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, the majority of tourists to Salzburg will be! Growing up with a mom who is absolutely enamored by the musical retelling of the Von Trapp family story, I’ve always dreamed of seeing places from that timeless film. While there are loads of other things to experience in Salzburg, these were a few…

Reasons to Visit Kentucky: The Top 5 Things to Do (From a Local!)

Unique things to do in Kentucky

When people think of Kentucky, often they envision horse races, big hats, and maybe some barefoot children running around a coal mine in the hollers of the Appalachians. While these images (however stereotypical) may represent portions of the bluegrass state, there is so much more than just banjos and moonshine in the great Commonwealth! As a born and raised (northern) Kentuckian with a love of exploration, these are my top 5 things to do- all…

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

🎃Want the perfect fall weekend getaway? (Just a 3 🎃Want the perfect fall weekend getaway? (Just a 3 hr road trip from Cincy area!) 

You really need to put @holidayworld in Santa Claus, Indiana (yes it’s a real city!) on your list! 🎅🏻

It truly exceeded my expectations, and my kids had so much fun that I know we will be going back! 🎢

Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari is such a unique theme park because you travel through different cute holiday-themed sections. ✨

They have 🎅🏻Christmas, 🎃Halloween, 🇺🇸Fourth of July and 🦃Thanksgiving areas. 

I also feel like this park had SO many options for even younger kids. My 3 year old was able to go on most rides (with a parent) and I was pleasantly surprised by that 👶🏼

During Happy Halloween Weekends, the park adds even more fall and Halloween fun! 🎃

Here’s what you can expect:

🦖 Dino Corn Maze Adventure: Filled with life-sized dinosaurs through 12 acres of corn mazes
🚜 Hayrides to and from the corn maze
🍬 Trick-or-Treat Trail for kids
👻 Halloween shows and entertainment
💃 Halloween dance party!
🎃 fall food and treats 

If you visit on a Saturday, stay until dark for their AMAZING drone show (like, truly, I was so impressed by it) 🦖 

Also, something I LOVE about this place in general is that they have:

🚗 free parking
🥤 free unlimited soft drinks (the best!)
☀️ free SPF

Happy Halloween Weekends are Saturdays and Sundays through November 1st, so get planning!!
