After getting a wonderful brunch at Biscuit Love, we jetted over to The Factory in Franklin. It used to be an old stove factory, now turned into a Farmer's Market/local shops venue with a really cool vibe. If we weren't already crazy full, we would've ate at the ice cream place or the donut joint as I do love me a delicious dessert! But we just poked around some of the shops for some interesting wares.

While visiting family for the holidays, we popped into White Bison Coffee, which was a really neat coffee chain in the area. They had a large white bison out front and offered a solid selection of hot and cold beverages. As per usual, I went with a fruity iced tea and absolutely was not disappointed! Looking forward to being in the area again and swinging back in!

While I didn't get any crane placements, I also went to see the Big Cat Animal Rescue, which was AMAZING. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone in the area. It had a TON of rescued large cats and a variety of other animals. Also I checked out the Tito Goana Trapeze School, which was another unforgettable experience off my bucket list! Tito is an amazing instructor who performed in several shows in his youth and now has retired to teach classes. Such a wonderful class, filled with amazing and supportive people. If you're looking to try something different, this is it!

I went to visit family in Florida and popped into a bunch of different places this time. This was taken at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, which I had never been to before. Tucked away into a very neighborhood area, was this wonderful gardens complete with an orchid house. It was right on the water, so there were lots of really pretty shots among the mangroves. Although it threatened to rain, it thankfully held off until we were done with our excursion!

I headed from New York City after work to meeting up for a ride to upstate New York. I had never taken the PATH from the World Trade area to New Jersey before. It was a super easy ride but holy cow, it's a heck of a mess trying to get out of it by car at rush hour on a Friday! Won't be doing that again. But taking the PATH? Yeah, that is definitely doable.

A friend had recommended I check this place out since I enjoy a good iced tea now and again. With a little bit of time to kill before meeting some friends for dinner, I decided to pop in. It did not disappoint! There's a lot of good seasonal beverages, and I had a really hibiscus tea. The shop had a chill vibe and I would definitely go back in again.

*Excuse a little bit of out of order! My crane pouch got a little discombobulated.
