After we raised our kids - we started going on regular adventures to strengthen our marriage and to keep life interesting.
We have decided to share our adventures on YouTube. We seek out adventures big and small. We enjoy visiting small towns,
looking for quirky attraction, searching for vintage items, and talking to people who are passionate about their hobbies.

We go on these adventures once a week. We hope they provide inspiration to go on a few LoveNester adventures of your own.
