Road Trip Day 2

Today I had a shorter driving distance, but I had a nice long stop to break it up!

First:

It was so nice to cross into the fourth state of the trip! And pretty early on I might add.

I finally gave in and stopped at one of those Amish furniture place.

Maybe this one was a particularly spendy one, but it wasn't worth it for me! Although on this same stop I went into one of those Fireworks! Outlet places and got to use their bathroom! That was worth it for me.

I really wanted to experience a little bit of Jami's past so I made sure to stop at:

Indiana University is a beautiful campus!

That's like, fifty yards from a decently busy road. It feels like you're walking in a forest. Also, If you're ever in Bloomington you should check out this bar! They had an awesome patio in the front and the back!

As you can tell Kilroy's on Kirkwood, or KOK, was a pretty happening spot. Also, one of the schools in the University was having a graduation. Kind of weird feeling so removed from college (despite the summer internship) and seeing so many recent graduates in their cap and gowns.

It was a quick drive to get to Jami's parents! They were so kind and friendly! Letting me stay in their guest bed and treating me so nice! Including the dogs.

I had requested pizza from Chef Stroud, because Jami makes his recipe, but I wanted it from the creator himself:

Terrible picture, but delicious pizza.

I got two treats tonight! One in the form of ice cream. More specifically a PUPPY CHOW Cyclone!

The second treat comes with a story. Before Wednesday of last week I worked part time at a bookstore. I would normally wear jeans and never noticed them looking grubby or gross. One day I branched out and tried to do "fashion." I bought a pair of light pink jeans. After the first day of kneeling on them once every 30 minutes to put books away, or check the hold shelf or all the other things you do at a bookstore, the knees were covered in dirt and grime. So I chucked them in the wash hoping that would solve it. Apparently that just sets the stain in even more! Jami specifically told me to bring my jeans to her mother because her mom loves laundry challenges. Well, Momma Stroud did not disappoint!

I'm going to be wearing them tomorrow.
