Last Monday we went to Clinton, Indiana for the Little Italy festival. Sean hadn't been since he was younger and I had never been, so it was a fun semi-new venture for us both. We walked the main lane of the festival for awhile but there was really nothing special, mostly festival food and then at the end was a little carnival. We did catch the end of a meatball eating contest, which was fun, but after that we moved toward the center of town where a couple of the Italian restaurants are located. We settled at the Wine Garden, which was really beautiful with a vine that wound itself up into the ceiling and created a canopy. There was live music, so we had a couple of drinks and listened to the band then called it a day.
Saturday we snuck ourselves into the Blues Festival in downtown Terre Haute through a small gap in the fence. Lots of good music that night, we danced up front for a little while and then mozied back to a seating area and just hung out in the atmosphere. Our favorite band to play that night was called the David Mayfield Parade, you should definitely check them out.
Sunday was the Parish Picnic at Deming Park for Sean's church. We brought Tabouli (yumm). It was pretty fun, we got to eat lunch and catch up with his parents. After that we headed down to Spencer, In. for a short hike and to play in the waterfall a little bit at McCormick's Creek SP. All state parks were free in honor of 9/11, so we definitely wanted to take advantage of the deal. We spent the remainder of the evening in Bloomington strolling the streets and had dinner at the Scholars Inn Bakehouse.
I hope you all had a great week and have a great one to come!
Peace and Love.
p.s. the 5k training is still going strong =)
