Tuesday of on vacation week was spent on the move. Dennis and I had a leisurely breakfast then left on a road trip through…
Yeah, I know. Indiana isn’t that exciting, but it IS Ohio’s next door neighbor. We crossed the state line and then turned South. First stop was an antique mall.
Sadly, I don’t remember the name of it. We walked around for quite awhile. It was a very big place with loads of interesting stuff. I saw stuff I own myself, including stuff I had as a teen. Could I really be so old that my old stuff is antique? I’m I an antique as well?!?
I’m going to stop thinking about that!
Moving on…
I got some earrings and matching tennis bracelet for Mom while there, all for a mere $10! I also got a lovely multi-strand gold and pearl bracelet for myself for $5. V nice! I got a “Train Handling” book for Ben. It was a fantastic store.
We drove on further Southward until we were hungry. We were in Winchester Indiana 
by then and drove around looking for a unique place to eat. Eating at local places is one of our favorite things to do on trips. We found this place:
What a find!!
Special of the day was a Deluxe Hamburger served with a dill pickle wedge and homemade onion rings, all for $3.50!! Then came the pie… They offered about 25 varieties of pie, many of which were already sold out by our 1:30 P.M. lunch. I had the fresh strawberry and Dennis had the cherry almond with crumb topping. Both were excellent.
With full bellies, off we went with a destination of Richmond, Indiana which is the beginning point of “Antique Alley.” Richmond was undergoing road destruction construction. We followed some of the historic roads into small historic towns and found a few antique stores that were open. We didn’t arrive there until about 3:00 or so and most closed at 5:00! Most of what we found couldn’t compare with the very first antique mall we visited at the beginning of our trip. We did find another very large antique mall and it was fun and very nice and we were there until a few minutes before they closed. It was time to head East. Our destination?
Rachel and Nathan’s house!
We were going to eat on the way but wound up finding a closed restaurant, a biker bar, and our GPS lead us out into the country to somebody’s house! We thought about going to the door and asking for dinner but changed our minds. We went to Rachel and Nathan’s thinking we’d just order pizza when we got there, ’cause it was nearly 7:00 P.M. by then. Instead, she dished up delicious leftovers from their dinner including home made ice cream cake! Wow! Way better than a restaurant! We spent the evening hanging out with Rachel, Nathan, and Orion watching the new Dr. Who on TV.
Great day? Yup.
