We left Friday right after Brian arrived home from work. Not just any old day, but Brian's last day of teaching summer school, AND his last day working with elementary students! Now we get to focus on his upcoming job in the fall. We are both really excited!
Back to traveling...
We left home and went to Rolla, Missouri, to meet up with Brian's parents. Shortly after arriving, we jumped into their car and began our trek toward Indiana. Along the way we had a bit of a mishap. Our pilot accidentally hit a piece (rather, chunk) of rubber tire on the highway. However, she managed to handle the situation with a calm hand and we continued on our way. Unfortunately, the car didn't fare so well...
We are all thankful no one was hurt and the car was still drivable.
Nothing could stop us, not even a little bump in the road. So we carried on to Illinois, stayed the night, and woke up early to drive on to Bloomfield, Indiana, where we met up with the rest of Brian's family.
Shortly after arriving, we checked in at our sweet, historic bed and breakfast- The Buffaloe Inn (yes, Buffalo-e) in Worthington, Indiana.
The Buffaloe Inn was built in 1872 and restored just a few years ago to look much like the original Griffin home. This home is adorable! I was ready to move in.
Don't you just want to come down those steps in an evening gown? Love!
This beautifully restored home was such a sweet place to stay. Brian and I enjoyed spending time relaxing on the front porch and hanging out in our room (the "foofoo" room as owner, Bert, called it) watching cable tv, a luxury we do not have at home. We also enjoyed free ice cream and antique shopping to pass the time.
I highly recommend this B&B. The owners were great, and we all had a lovely stay. Check out their Facebook Page for more pictures and details!
Then came the reason we were in this quaint, little place: Andrew's play! We attend not one, but two, performances of Boeing Boeing at the Shawnee Theatre. It was a hilarious play. There was not one dull moment in the performance. The actors filled the stage with their energy and didn't miss a moment to make us laugh.
Our trip home was much less exciting than the trip to Indiana (thankfully). I was grateful to arrive home safely today. Brian and I really enjoyed spending time with his family, but, boy, is there no place like home.
