🛣️ WANDER WEDNESDAY: Illinois River Road

This week, we’re exploring the Illinois River Road National Scenic Byway from north to south! 🚗🌿

Here are three stops to add to your family adventure list:

🥾 NORTHERN LEG: Matthiessen State Park — canyons, waterfalls, trails & beautiful Illinois scenery.

🇺🇸 CENTRAL LEG: Stoner Park in Henry — home to the Veterans’ Walk, a path lined with 1,000 American flags honoring past and current service members.

🦆 SOUTHERN LEG: Emiquon Preserve near Havana — wetlands, wildlife, birdwatching & beautiful views along the Illinois River.

And that’s just a glimpse of what you can discover along the Illinois River Road! 💚

➡️ Swipe through, pick a stop and start planning your next family adventure.

My kids always love celebrating fun holidays that you don't always think of when you look at the calendar! 🗓️

Here are 10 September holidays your kids will love to celebrate!

🍕 Sept. 5th celebrate Cheese Pizza Day with a slice of your favorite local pizza! Wendy Puff Pizzeria + Pub won our readers choice poll a couple years back!
💪 Labor Day is Sept. 7th. The Labor Day Parade Downtown Peoria is always a fun time!
🎮 On Sept. 12th spend some time with the kiddos playing their favorite video games! We love playing Mario party!
👵👴 Sept. 13th is the perfect day to spend time celebrating your amazing grandparents!
🌮 This celebration calls for a whole month! Sept. 15th - Oct. 15th is National Hispanic Heritage Month. Let's celebrate by supporting our local Hispanic owned businesses this month!
🎉 Celebrate National Play-Doh Day on Sept. 16th. Get creative! Maybe make your own homemade play-doh!
🍔 Grab a bite from your favorite local burger joint on Sept. 18th to celebrate National Cheeseburger Day!
🏴‍☠️ Ahoy Matey! Sept. 19th is International Talk like a Pirate Day.
🍂 Sept. 22 - It's Fall Y'all! Celebrate the first day of fall by taking a brisk walk on one of Peoria's many walking trails!
☕ Celebrate National Coffee Day on Sept. 29th by enjoying a coffee (or 2) at one of our many amazing local coffee shops!

Please don't feel like this is another thing you have to add to the 'to do' list. But if you have a little bandwidth and want to do something extra or fun this month, I hope these ideas help!
