Weekend of Celebration

This past weekend, we got away for a couple of days and celebrated our 5 year anniversary and Father's Day. We had such a great trip. We went to Madison, IN and stayed at the Cliffty Inn located right inside Cliffty Falls State Park. The Inn was so nice and we'd highly recommend it. Madison is a quaint little historic town. We had fun hiking, swimming, and walking around downtown. The hiking we did was minimal concidering it was 95+ degrees, I'm 9 months pregnant, and we had a 22 month old, but it was still fun. We saw both big and little Cliffty Falls.

Isabel on our hike. Lee said we probably looked like a funny family. Me hugely pregnant carrying the umbrella stroller while going up/downstairs and Lee carrying Isabel away from his body because she had mud all over her feet. Oh well, we had fun.
Downtown Madison. Surprisingly to us both the State Park and downtown weren't that busy even though it was a weekend.
Isabel enjoying a giant cookie...no she didn't eat it all, we all shared. She sure enjoyed holding it by herself at first though. Thanks to everyone who recommended the Downtowner (a restaurant there). It was super yummy.
The Inn's swimming pool. We spent several hours there during our stay. It was really nice and was kind of cool because it had a ramp for handicap people. The ramp was perfect for Isabel to play up and down on. By the end of our stay she didn't want to be in her swim ring anymore. She was a big girl and wanted to swim (well trying to kick her legs anyway).

Candace - you look great! And kudos on hiking, 9 months pregnant, in flip flops? Your legs don't even looks swollen! :) I can't believe how big Isabel is getting. We really hope to be able to see you this summer. We're heading down to Kentucky July 19th weekend. I think that might be around your due date? Either way, we'll try to catch up.

Thanks Rachael. I did have tennis shoes on for hiking. Don't let me fool you. We got back from our trip Saturday afternoon and went to bed at 8.:) It wore me out:)

You do look great! I thought you guys were going to get away without Isabel for the weekend, but it looks like you had fabulous family time! Maybe we'll get to check out Madison, too!
