Adam and I have decided to make a quick getaway for the Memorial Day weekend. We knew that we didn't want to spend a ton of money...and with gas prices at almost $4.00, we knew we didn't want to go far. Bloomington, here we come!
I worked this morning (Sat.) and then hurried home with extreme excitement! I simply couldn't wait to get on the road and out of town. I had packed everything the night before and even Ditters knew something was up and that we were heading somewhere.
Adam and I decided to put Dit in the hotel once we got into town, and then find somewhere to eat. We were HUNGRY! We didn't want to do too much backtracking, so we chose something on the way to our "drive" and it just happened to be absolutely delicious. Right by the Monroe County Public Library is an Indian restaurant. I hadn't had Indian food in a very long time, and we can't get Indian in Muncie, so I was glad that's where we decided to go. We started with a Vegetable appetizer of some sort (I can't remember the name of the dish) and it was definitely a great start. I chose the Butter Shrimp as my meal and adam chose a Lamb dish of some sort...a curry I think. It was absolutely scrumptious! We had some garlic and cheese naan on the side to sop up the wonderful curry sauce and then finished off the meal with a small rice pudding. YUMMMMMY! Once we were through, we got back in the car to make our trip through Brown County and the Yellowwood National Forest.
For Adam and I, Bloomington has some great memories for us. When we were first married, Adam started his Doctoral program at IU Bloomington which brought us to the wonderful state of Indiana. We grew together as a couple and Bloomington served us well. I was working as an after-school care worker at a Christian school in town, and was also working a home-based business. This meant that I was home quite a bit. Adam was practicing a lot and going to classes at IU. We didn't have a lot of extra time, but had enough to make a habit of taking evening drives to see deer. We LOVED it! The hills of Bloomington are so beautiful and peaceful that words or pictures just can't do it justice. So, with this Memorial Day weekend ahead of us, we decided to do what we most loved and take a drive to see deer again. I tried to get a few pictures, but they were a bit blurry. I'll see what photoshop can do once I get the chance.
We are now back in the hotel...Ditters is asleep on the couch and both Adam and I are on our computers. It's nice!
Tomorrow, it's off to the Lincoln memorial house...and more updates to come.
