Rend Lake, IL


Sunset over Rend Lake

    Sadly it was time to leave Jessica and Muncie Indiana.  Next time we go to visit the kids, we'll have to do it at a time of year that is warmer, so we can stick around longer.  We had a great visit with her, and made some decisions about the wedding, including the DJ and the venue (Waldenwood, for those of you familiar with it).
    After driving 300 miles, we landed at Rend Lake in Illinois, which is a really pretty area.  Since the weather warmed up a little and the sun was going to shine,  we decided to stay an extra night and spend a day biking.  It was a cool but beautiful sunny day. We spent most of the day biking but we checked out the local artisans shop as well. I was really impressed with everything they had for sale there, so I guess its a good thing we have no room for anything!  Once we got back to the trailer we built a huge fire and watched the sunset. 
We closed up the campground on our own.  We were the only ones there, and they closed for the season the day we left.  Today we drove the 250 miles to Southaven Mississippi, just outside Memphis TN, and we'll be here for a few days.

Muncie, IN

As I type this I realize that once again I blew it.  We have been in Muncie for 2 days, had dinner with Jess and David, her fiance, twice, and I don't have any pictures to show for it! When I am with people I forget to get the camera out. I did take more pictures of Jess when she was trying on her wedding dress though.  It's been a busy 2 days. We spent some time at Jess's apartment with her and her roommates and played some games after dinner.  Yesterday we cooked for David and Jess at the trailer.
   Today it's pouring rain but its about 15 degrees above normal, so at least it isn't snow.   We are going to do some shopping- Jess has to work until 10:30 pm.  Tomorrow we all leave bright and early for Michigan.  I have a doctor's appointment and Jess is coming so that she can take a look at our favorite potential wedding venues before making a decision.
