Relaxing Getaway

Well, I haven't written for a number of days because I've been without my computer. I know, it's pretty hard to believe that I would be anywhere without my computer. But, Emily and I decided to getaway for a relaxing retreat...which means no computer to distract me from enjoying some peace and quiet.

We went to Pokagon State Park, just north of Ft. Wayne (yes, I realize it gets colder the farther north you go). We rented a room in a cabin for a couple of nights...it was great! We hiked every day...and pretty much exhausted ourselves. We went shopping at the Fremont Outlets (pretty much a useless outlet, except for the Gap store and a couple of shoe places). We ate at my favorite restaurant, The Herb Garden. It's just off State Road 120, east of I69. If you happen to be in that area and stop in the Herb Garden...you've got to try the yam fries. I hate sweet potatoes...but these things are awesome...trust me! We ate at the Potawotami (or however you spell it) Inn restaurant several times...We hit Bennigan's...We visited the Satek winery...It's a cool little place with some might fine wines...We read books in a big lodge-like room in the Inn...We went to bed early and slept in...We got away from the hustle-and-bustle of life in Muncie. It was great...Totally relaxing. We didn't have a schedule and just did whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted. On the way home, we stopped off in Ft. Wayne and went to the mall, Borders, and Joe's Crab Shack. Last night, when we got home, we went for a walk around the Ball State campus. After our walk, I made dinner and watched a couple of episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It was a perfectly relaxing getaway.

Well, I know that I didn't write anything thought provoking. But, I just thought I'd share why I haven't written in a few days. I'll get back to normal (whatever that is) in the near future.
