Oh man, depends on how you define adventure. I usually feel travel is adventurous, so I would say doing the four-day Inca Trail hike. I had altitude sickness and it was extremely tough, but it was amazing and I would do it the same way in a heartbeat.
Oh man, a tough one out of the gate! H and I got into strategy/Euro board games and our collection keeps growing.
At the moment, my favorite is Pandemic Legacy, which were playing with another couple. You play it at least 12 times (each play is one month of game time) and it keeps changing and getting harder.
Also really liking right now for groups: Codenames and Spaceteam.
I have a few adult coloring books and enjoy them for short periods to clear my mind. But I'm not great at coloring (guess I never picked up skills in Pre-K?).
Best gift, oh man. Probably my first DSLR camera. My grandparents gave it to me for my college graduation. And now I have a side photography business.
Just got to work and will eat here. Probably an egg sandwich from the place next to us because I forgot my egg burrito at home.

What's your favorite bourbon? In a cocktail or straight up?
Right now I'm into Buffalo Trace. Not too expensive, and super smooth. Plus we toured their facility a few years ago in KY and taste tested a bunch of their products. Really enjoyed it.
Sometimes I'm in the mood for it straight up, but right now I'm into Kentucky Mules (bourbon + ginger beer).

Someone was just telling us about Legacy recently, it sounds intense. H and I played Catan for the first time recently.
icedtea - It is intense. Have you played the original Pandemic? It's unique and really fun. Legacy takes it to new crazy places. Catan is the first strategy/Euro game we ever played. I can give you recommendations if you ever are looking for new games to try.

We haven't. H isn't really a board game person (he says they take too long), but I enjoy them. I'd love recommendations. Catan was fun, though for me it really became "Get Rid of the Fucking Sheep." I lost the game*, but I had few sheep at the end and so I feel that I won.
icedtea - Yeah, Catan can get a pain with the luck of the rolls involved. If your H's main complaint is the time commitment, we have some games which play through faster for times we can't commit multiple hours. Some along those lines: Splendor, Suburbia, and Dominion.

We can be friends...I love all ginger beer drinks and never even thought of this! I'm buying bourbon today to try it!! I also really want to do bourbon trail in KY and taste allll the bourbon.

I took two quizzes. One said the owl: The owl spirit animal is emblematic of a deep connection with wisdom and intuitive knowledge. The other said the goat king: Intense, alpha goat is not one to be messed with. Not sure where that leaves me... haha.
Favorite season is autumn, hands-down. I love the crisp feeling in the air, not sweating, apple everything, all the comfort foods and baked goods, and leaves changing color.
That's a tough one too! One that makes me happy every time I think about it is how I knew H liked me before we started dating. We went on a camping trip with our friends (it was a big friend group, mixed boys and girls) and we had one big tent. I found a way to make sure I was laying next to him (everyone had separate sleeping bags; no one was dating yet at that point) and put my hand down in between us. His hand fell down on top of mine (like I figured it would), and he hesitated about half a second and then interlaced our fingers.
wannabmama - KY mules are delicious. You can blame me when you get hooked. The bourbon trail is very cool. We didn't stop at many places, but I would go back.

Do you play RPGs? If so, what are you doing Sunday?
Not really, but mostly because H isn't into them. I have a vivid imagination and love storytelling and character building, so I think I would like them. Any suggestions?

We really enjoy regular Pandemic but have not tried Legacy. It seems a bit intimidating! And the beginner level of Pandemic is hard enough for us!
PirateCat - Legacy was extremely intimidating the first two or three plays. Now we know it's going to keep throwing new stuff at us and making it next to impossible to win. My H gets stressed out while we're setting up to play. I find that funny, because I don't really care if we lose; it's just fun to play. You do also have to have a committed group who is willing to play it 12-24 times. We play with another couple once a month.
