Spontaneous adventure at its BEST

I thought this would be a fun day adventure for my husband and I. Since I mostly plan our little excursions this was a gift for me too. By far my favorite experience! I can’t wait to order more and have found the perfect gift for friends and family. Absolutely so damn fun!

Beautiful

Did this trip for an anniversary, and we loved it! It was super cool to see things we wouldnt ever had on our own. I will say - if you are from the Philly area, it is closer than it says in the "distance" information. Just wanted to put that incase people were worried about the distance. The furthest point is also not too far either, much closer than what it states.

Along the River

Took the trip Along the River. It was awesome. There were 4 stops but could not do them all the same day. Although you recommended one hour at each stop, got involved in where we were and stayed longer not realizing it and gave us less time to do all stops but will revisit again and do the ones we did not see. Although it was a lot of driving it was worth it as each place was about 15 minutes away and easy to find each place. It stop had its own uniqueness.
