This definitely wins the MOST UNIQUE bar I’ve ever visited! 🤯

We rented golf carts to tour the 2.5 mile self-guided trail in the Ozarks, leading us inside a cave with both an underground waterfall AND bar. 🍻

📍Branson, Missouri

Sometimes you cross paths with your spirit squirrel, freeze for the camera, and then broadcast LIVE.

Chateau Elan was the perfect destination and backdrop for a quick birthday weekend getaway to celebrate @jjsg2023.

I’m quite impressed by the amount of self-care and fun we crammed into 48 hours:
- Birthday dinner at Marc Chophouse
- morning yoga
- one of the tastiest French/southern breakfast buffets EVER at Versailles Restaurant
- spa day @spaatchateauelan
- afternoon tea in the atrium
- sunset wine tasting @chateauelanwines
- live music at @paddys_chateauelan Irish Pub
- DJ & dancing at Louis’ Bar
- biking along the rolling hills of the property (sounds much more charming than the actual effort required 🥵)

The best part — we never even had to drive off-property, which gave us extra time to chill.

Life definitely gets busy, but this weekend with these ladies, we made it count. 🫶🏼 by @tripping.with.tracy

📍Dry Tortugas National Park

It’s one of the most remote U.S. National Parks, about 70 miles off the coast of Key West. It can only reached by boat (~2.5 hours) or seaplane (~40 minutes).

When you arrive to the island, you’re greeted by Fort Jefferson, the largest brick masonry structure in the Americas, built with roughly 16 million bricks (although it was never fully completed).

Fun Fact: Dr. Mudd, one of Abraham Lincoln’s accused assassination conspirators, was imprisoned here.
