You're in the perfect place if you're looking for date ideas in Lincoln! My husband and I recently had a kid free Sunday, and we had a relaxing time hopping around different places in town. Let's talk about fun and unique date ideas for adults! We deserve to have fun too. 1. Farmer's market at college viewGuys, I love this farmer's market. First of all, it's at Union College, which is so much easier to find parking than downtown! Second, the vibe is just slow and peaceful. A few booths I like are Hunter's Honey, Bright Hope Family Farm for flowers, Capi de Tutto Pasta, and Smoking Gun Jerky! If you can go in October, the trees and flowers look incredible. 2. sit on the patio at catalystIt's patio season folks! Enjoy an appetizer outside at Catalyst or browse their brunch menu. Our waitress was super friendly, and this place is cool because you get to seat yourself! If you are a sushi lover and want to hop to another patio next, head over to Hiro 88. It's literally right next door to this place! 3. enjoy a delicious lunch at the mettle grillWow. The Mettle Grill has got to be one of my new favorite lunch spots in Lincoln! It was not too crowded for lunch time, and the food was so good. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger with green beans! I always have low expectations for vegetables at restaurants, but these green beans were like perfectly cooked and seasoned! My husband, Trey, ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and as you can see, it was also pretty bomb. 4. play putt putt at adventure golf centerOkay, hands down, I think this is the best mini golf place we have in Nebraska. The grounds are beautiful, they have batting cages, Tropical Sno, and the courses are like challenging, but fun! Not to mention, this is the most affordable place ever. This is particularly a great spot for a date if you're on a budget! If you're looking to stay overnight and be close to many of these activities, consider booking the Wild Elm Cabin on Airbnb! I stayed here during the fall, and it was one of the coziest stays I've had. If you'd like to see my review of the Airbnb, you can read it here! Thanks for stopping by Bliss Junkie. I hope this list helps you plan an exciting outdoor date in Lincoln!

I have nine states left to visit, but so far Georgia is one of my top three favorites! In May, my husband and I took a trip to Jekyll Island, and it was one of the coolest places I've ever been. The food we had on the island was incredible! That's why I wanted to put together a guide for you of the best restaurants we visited near Jekyll Island. corridor z Kitchen + CocktailsCorridor Z is located in the Village Beach Center, near The Westin. It has delicious seafood and hushpuppies! I ordered the Wild Georgia Shrimp & my husband, Trey, ordered crab. This meal was the perfect start to our beach day! My shrimp was $20.50, which was pretty reasonable compared to other restaurants. Plus, I had leftovers too! This spot is great if you'd like to get out of the heat for lunch. You can also stop at the Jekyll Island Market after if you're needing snacks for your stay! It's a short walk from Corridor Z. TIP: We forgot to bring beach towels on this trip. However, you can find a few souvenir shops that sell them in the same Beach Village Center! Tribuzio's GrilleTribuzio's is a fun place to stop after a round of golf! It's located on the same property as the Jekyll Island Golf Club, which makes it super easy to park your cart and walk over for dinner. I highly recommend going earlier than regular mealtimes. This place can get super busy! I ordered the Shrimp Scampi here and I was in love! The portion was huge too, so I took a big to-go box of leftovers. My meal was $24, so it is on the pricier side compared to other restaurants in town! TIP: Check their Facebook page before you visit because they often have live music and post good specials! 24 Coastal24 Coastal is everything you need in a beachfront restaurant: delicious food, pretty views, & friendly service. I ordered the Margherita Pizza, and it was phenomenal. The pizza was $15, but it could easily feed two people or be great for lunch the next day! Tip: Stay at the Holiday Inn Resort and eat at 24 Coastal whenever you want! 24 Coastal is located on the Holiday Inn property and also serves guests at the pool. hungry crabHungry Crab is located in Brunswick, which is like a 27-minute drive from Jekyll Island. We stopped here after we left the Jacksonville airport. I loved how big this restaurant was! It was nicely decorated, and I loved how perfect my shrimp boil was! I ordered the 1/2 lb. shrimp with no head for $12.99 on their lunch menu. It was just the right amount of food for me, especially because it came with a potato & corn! TIP: If you're looking to make a few meals at your Airbnb or hotel, I'd stop at Walmart before heading to Jekyll Island. They do have a Jekyll Island Market in case you forget any necessities though. That's a wrap! I hope this list helps you find some delicious spots to grab a bite on Jekyll Island. Please let me know below what else you'd like to know about Jekyll Island! I will continue writing about this beautiful place the next couple months.
