  2. My husband and I just moved to the area in the fall! We have loved it so far, there is so much to do! We’re remodeling our kitchen right now, so it’s a mess and we have a big dumpster rental in our driveway. So we are always looking for something to go do, this is a great list of ideas! Thank you!
