Our Delicious Midwestern Adventure: Carroll County

Since leaving Chicago, we have been busy visting Shawn's family.

We started with a family dinner at Shawn's grandparents house in Wakarusa, IN.  The Daytona 500 was on, so everyone ate and watched the race.  (On a side note, the food we ate while visiting with Shawn's family is HIS favorite foods - not mine - so there will be no food pictures from these couple of days.)

The weather was getting pretty crappy on the drive and it didn't get any better that night at Shawn's parents house.  This is what I found the next morning on my windshield :)


Shawn's mom and dad took Monday off of work, and Patrick was home too, so we went to Lafayette for the day.  We had lunch at Steak N Shake (one of Shawn's favorites!) then wandered around the mall (another one of Shawn's favorite things).  We went into Kokomo on Tuesday with Patrick to check out the new comic book store, of course.  Then we took Shane to Chuck E Cheese's for dinner and games...ALL the boys had fun :)

Monday evening we went over to see Caleb & Lindsey's house and Kevin & Toni came out too.  Shawn really enjoyed seeing his old friends!  We all went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner and then to Coldstone Creamery for dessert.  Yum!

Overall, we had a pretty nice visit in Carroll County!  I know Shawn misses his friends and family but he does NOT miss the roads and the weather!
