      @@RuthandThomas I found it on my Roadside America App. It’s a regular funeral home that I have been to several times before. No one believed me. There are no ads for it either. So I called and had to set it up with the Funeral Director and they were so nice. Only caveat is if a last second funeral happens, you’ll have to reschedule. So fun yet very creepy. Especially since it is in the basement and next to the embalming room. One of our greatest finds.

      @@RuthandThomas I've been on over 300 roller coasters in 25 states and Canada. Six Flags Great America is a fun larger park with some smooth steel coasters, but it can get crowded.
      Holiday World has a great atmosphere and is actually known for its award wining waterpark along with its wood coasters, which can be a little rough. It doesn't have quite as large crowds.
      One I haven't been to yet, but is on the shortlist is Silver Dollar City in Branson MO. A good variety of coasters "with down-home charm" This should fall between the other two in park size and crowds.

      Absolutely! Thanks for watching our video. Some low-key things we've done that I can think of off the top of my head have been trivia nights or doing those Buzzfeed quizzes together, taste-testing the same food item from different fast-food restaurants and ranking them, recreating some of our favorite things to do as children, or surprising each other with a spa night - whoever comes home from work first draws a bath, lights some candles, plays quiet music, gets out the essential oils, gets out partner's favorite snacks.

It's really fun and you end up learning a lot!

      That's a good question! We actually started off our relationship as a long-distance couple and had to get pretty creative with dating. We would write letters and send drawings in the mail - snail-mail style. We also would get dressed up all fancy for Skype calls and I know some people that start a video call and then try to cook the same meal together - or watch the same movie. And if you're meeting your online boyfriend in person for the first time, we are always big fans of getting coffee or doing something low-key like going for a walk / playing a board game / going to a festival so you have time to get to know each other. Hope this helps!
