We will be meeting here at 3pm on Saturday for anyone still in town and wanting a more casual hangout. Sun King is an indoor/outdoor brewery space (friendly to our underage guests) with plenty of food options. Nothing formal but the bride and groom would love to see you there, even if to say goodbye before you head out!
For our active friends, Monon Trail is a 20 mile paved walking/biking trail that passes through Carmel, on its way from downtown all the way to Sheridan. Abby & Collin have enjoyed many miles on this trail, and it passes right through the heart of downtown Carmel. Perfect for an early morning jog/ bike or a post brunch stroll to check out the area!
