Our Adventures
(to date)
2022
Toronto & Niagara Falls, Canada
Our adventures in Canada started in Toronto. We explored Toronto Island, and had dinner atop the CN Tower, among other things.
From there, we headed to Niagara Falls and had a guided tour of the area from every angle. We concluded our night and trip by changing the lights on the falls, followed by a stunning fireworks display.
Alexandria, Kentucky
After a long, cramped car ride, Daniel finally met the pets, who instantly adored (tolerated) him.
Following some rest, the couple enjoyed their first (in person) date at the Cincinnati Observatory, ending the evening with tacos from Agave and Rye.
Since it was Daniel’s first visit to Northern Kentucky, Daisy made sure he tried Cincinnati Three Ways and Glier's Goetta, both of which he thankfully enjoyed.
Other highlights included Daniel meeting the rest of the family and experiencing his first s'more by the fire.
Los Angeles, California
In October, Daniel surprised Daisy with a concert ticket to see the same artist they watched together on their first virtual date.
The couple met in LA, exploring Venice Beach before the concert. They spent the rest of their time trying to spot the Hollywood sign, and touring the Warner Brothers studios.
London, United Kingdom
After their time in LA, the couple flew to London, marking Daisy's first trip outside North America.
They began with a relaxing night bus tour, visited historical and beautiful sites, explored The Shard where Daisy fell in love with Romeo the Fox, indulged in delicious food, and celebrated Bonfire Night at Alexandra Palace's firework festival.
Kent, United Kingdom
From London, the couple traveled to Daniel's hometown, where Daisy met Daniel's mum and sister for the first time.
They visited Kent to feed foxes, which instantly became one of Daisy's favorite memories.
Daniel lovingly cooked a delicious meal for Daisy, and they spent time painting Warhammer figures together.
2023
The Cotswolds, United Kingdom
Daniel and Daisy received a warm welcome from their cottage hosts and thoroughly enjoyed their rural farm stay in the countryside. They visited charming farm shops and restaurants, explored beautiful nature sites, and wandered through the quaint villages of the Cotswolds.
Highlights of their trip included Cotswold Lavender and Hawkstone Brewery. When they weren't out exploring, they relaxed in the hot tub, taking in the stunning view from their cottage.
Kentucky, United States
In Kentucky, the couple visited the Newport Aquarium to pet African penguins, toured the Baker Bird Winery, explored the Festival of Lights at Cincinnati Zoo, and built gingerbread houses. Daniel also celebrated his first Thanksgiving with Daisy and her family.
Before heading to Tennessee, they made a stop in Lexington to enjoy some delicious gumbo and jambalaya at Gumbo Ya Ya's.
The Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee
After another long drive with Daniel, the couple finally arrived in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. There, they joined the Miller family to explore the smoky mountains, trying out various activities and restaurants. Daniel had his first taste of Tennessee Moonshine, and despite the rain, the couple had a great time at Anakeesta and Astra Lumina.
To end the trip the couple visited the Dolly Parton Stampede before heading back to Kentucky, making a stop at Buc-ee's along the way.
2024
Kent, United Kingdom
For months, Daniel nervously prepared for the big proposal, carefully hiding everything in his car under a cover. Once he picked up Daisy from the airport, they spent a few days in Kent, enjoying quality time together. The couple visited a beach with Daniel’s family. Later in the night they were fortunate enough to witness the Northern Lights. After a few days, they set off for Wales.
Chester and Manchester, United Kingdom
In Chester, the couple visited Chester Zoo and explored the bat cave, where bats soared just overhead. They also immersed themselves in some Roman history by visiting the ruins of a Roman amphitheater, and some Roman gardens.
In Manchester, they sipped drinks while playing with adorable pugs at Cuppa Pug and later dined at Pho Cue, where the food was delicious.
North Wales, United Kingdom
Once in Wales, the couple immersed themselves in scenic nature walks, and visited several majestic castles. A memorable paint date indoors set the stage for a beautiful proposal, marking a truly special moment. Following the proposal, they celebrated as Daniel prepared a lovely meal for them.
They continued to marvel at the breathtaking views of Wales, enjoying a steam train ride to the summit of Snowdon. Another highlight was a beach trip at Llanddwyn beach, where they indulged in delicious ice cream. When not out exploring, the couple relaxed in the hot tub, soaking in the stunning surroundings.
Cincinnati Tri-State Area, United States
To prepare for the wedding, Daniel made his third trip back to Kentucky. During this visit, the couple toured wedding venues and finally chose the perfect one.
After the venue search they explored bookstore cafés, a lego café, played mini golf at Par 3, admired the scenic view at Devou Park, savored Korean BBQ and hot pot, went apple picking in Ohio, enjoyed baked apples, and had a wine tasting at Holtkamp Winery in Indiana.
They celebrated Daisy’s sister during her Homecoming parade, where children playfully showered them with candy. The couple shared a romantic celebration dinner at Cooper's Hawk, visited Rabbit Hash where they cast their votes for the town’s mayor—an election featuring canine candidates—and enjoyed Daisy’s favorite winery: The Redmans. They treated themselves to delicious frozen yogurt at Menchie’s, enjoyed several meals together, and shared a heartfelt goodbye, the last until they reunite to become a married couple.
