We had a wonderful time in Indiana.
First, I had a surprise when my husband took me on a Romantic getaway to…French Lick! Yeah, just the name itself make your imagination run, knowing the French romantic inclinations…
It is a beautiful place in Indiana, where they used to have medicinal springs (yes, a lick refers to these springs and to animals who came by to lick water and precious minerals there). People were prescribed a diet, exercise and drinks from the Springs and the area became a highly-sought after retreat. The springs are not in use anymore, but the area still provides rest and recreation for people.
To get there, we drove through Nashville, Indiana, where we stopped for pizza, cheese and chocolate. Arriving at the French Lick area, we got a beautiful room at the French Lick hotel. We had dinner at the Power Bar, breakfast at their buffet and just a very restful time. We took a tour of the hotel, which now houses a casino, restaurants, stores, stables, pools, spa and a bowling alley and was setting up for a big Thanksgiving weekend. Coming before the actual holiday, we missed all the crowds, as well as all the special activities for the holiday, but we had lots of time to talk to each other and catch up! I really needed that time with Doug!
The vacation with Doug's family was wonderful as well. Lots of good food and good company. The kids ran board games with Doug and his Dad and also saw "Interstellar" at the theaters (they went to the movie when Doug and I were in French Lick). We all saw the Penguins of Madagascar (#3? #4? Who knows?) as a family.
Another great outing was when we drove to meet Ella-Marie and her Fiance, Brock at the Beef House Restaurant. Ella-Marie will graduate this year and decided to get married at the same time and on the same weekend. It was nice to meet with her again and to see her fiance for the first time.
