Heartwarming love story began at Slidell nudist resort

Ten years ago, Tracia Kraemer wanted to celebrate her 40th birthday by trying something new.

So she mustered her courage and visited Indian Hills, a nudist park in Louisiana.

At the very least, she figured she'd return home with a good story. "I thought I'd go to Indian Hills, get naked, get dressed and drive off," she says.

But the people she met were so nice and welcoming, she says, that she decided to stay longer that day. "Soon after, I got a membership."

Two years after that first visit, she met her husband-to-be, Patrick Kraemer, at the park.

"Do you remember the day you met me?" she asks her husband.

"Yes," Patrick says. "I seen a big, beautiful woman walking around. Very vibrant, very articulate, and I decided I wanted to meet you."

When he asked Tracia to dance at a party on the grounds, she decided to break one of her own rules: "Never slow dance with anyone at Indian Hills."

Tracia and Patrick married in 2013, and went on to manage Indian Hills Nudist Park for several years. In November, the couple took off in an RV for a yearlong adventure, visiting other nudist establishments across the country.
