An Unexpected Getaway

The weekend began, much as many weekends do, with just a nice dinner for Eric and I. We had the Walk for Wishes to look forward on Saturday and that was all we had planned for Saturday. So we figured we'd play the rest of the day by ear.

So Saturday morning rolls around and we get up, eat breakfast, and head over to Fishers Municipal Center, which is where the walk was. Well, somehow I misread the registration start time for the actual walk start time. So we had some time to kill... which we did in Target. But then we went back and did the walk. While we were walking, we got to talking about prizes for the 'Good Beer - Bad Beer Party' we're having on the 3rd... which got us talking about prizes... which got us talking about fun T-shirts... which got us talking about Urban Outfitters... which led us to Bloomington. Literally. After the walk, we went home and showered and headed down to Bloomington.

To our pleasant surprise, we got there and found the 'Taste of Bloomington' going on, which also included an art fair. So we browsed a bit before walking down to Urban Outfitters. But first, we hit Scotty's to watch the tail end of the Cubs game and have a few Wrigley dogs to hold us over till a little later. It turned out to be a great day to wander downtown Bloomington, so it made for a nice, and much needed, escape for the day.

On our way back to Indy, we detoured through Franklin to go the The Willard, which is this historic pizza joint in downtown Franklin. Eric heard good things about it and I'm usually willing to try anything once, so we went and barely beat the dinner crowd! In the end, it was worth it! Very good pizza and if you ever find yourself in Franklin, you should go!

We finally go home close to 9pm. It was a long day and we were both beat, so neither of us argued about just going to bed. And we were both out, just like that.

Sunday brought a bunch of being lazy on the couch type activity (ie - no activity). Until the early evening, when we went over to Eric's parents to have a light Father's Day dinner, which as just nice. We ate out on their enclosed porch and it made for a nice family dinner of just chatting and catching up. I was still exhausted from the day before, so when I got home, I was out pretty quick. But after the weekend I had of unexpected fun, I needed to go to bed early. :)

Do you remember Alexa, the HR lady who used to work at my company? She would have been here when you were. She and her husband own The Willard. :)
