Love flowers and history? Check out Cheekwood, a 1930s estate, with a historic mansion and 55 acres of cultivated gardens. Walk around the gardens, and see if you can find the turtles in the pond. You can also tour the mansion and learn more about the family who once called Cheekwood home. Tickets are timed entry, so we recommend purchasing them online. Also of note, Brad proposed to Hannah at Cheekwood :).

One of our favorite spots to get outside, the Warner Parks is a beautiful park system 9 miles from downtown that's great for walking, hiking, and picnics.

A beautiful rural preserve with easy walking trails and views of the river and local wildlife. Brad and I enjoy meandering down the trails and enjoying the view of the river.
