If you could imagine a fun day off, what would you do? Recently, I tried a new coffee shop in Bennington and found a beautiful walking trail near a lake! I thought I'd share these new favorite spots with you since it turned into such a perfect afternoon...  cup & coneI started my afternoon off at Cup & Cone in Bennington, which is an ice cream and coffee shop! I ordered the Oatmeal Cookie latte. I thought it had good flavor and I'm excited to go back and try their other lattes! Visiting this shop is fun in itself since it's nestled right in downtown Bennington. Check out their social media before you head in. They have great Instagram reels of their famous ice creams & drinks!  prairie view recreation areaI'm so happy I stumbled upon this spot. Prairie View Recreation Area has a pretty lake along with a walking trail with stunning views! I felt very safe walking this trail alone and this place is pretty big, so it didn't feel crowded. It was beautiful and some of the trees still had their fall color. I saw many people fishing at this lake too, so it may be a fishing spot worth checking out!  I'm so glad this place exists. It is located in a great area too, N 180th and near Bennington Road. This would be a fun place to grab lunch and do a picnic. There are beautiful views all around the park and shaded picnic tables to sit at!   I really enjoyed visiting this park, especially because it was free! I would consider it one of the best walking trails in Omaha. About 1/4 of this trail is in a wooded area and it still felt incredibly safe to walk through alone. I also saw a few bikers pass by, so it seems biker friendly!  It has been so fun to explore Bennington, Nebraska. I can't wait to see more! Please let me know below you're favorite places to hangout in Bennington! I'd love to check them out.

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!
