So we then researched a few different cabins and places to go and things to see and made our plans for our Weekend Away! We decided to leave on Friday night after everyone got off work and head for Brown County. We decided to stop along the way and grab a bite to eat so that we wouldn't have to cook something when we got there. Our plan for the weekend was for each couple to take a day of cooking, and the couple would get to choose what they were cooking for breakfast and supper that day. We were just kind of winging it for lunch since we weren't sure where we would be or what we would be doing at lunch time. So we had a plan and were ready for a fun weekend away. As far as a plan for what we were going to do we decided to just "fly by the seat of our pants". We knew that we wanted to visit the State Park and go to all the shops in Nashville, so we had an idea just not a definite plan.
The weekend before Brad and I helped to move his sister, Abby to college in Indy and she had mentioned that she needed a wash machine and we just so happened to have an extra one. Since we were going to be just south of Indy we decided we would take it to her while we were in the area.
So we met at our house on Friday we loaded everything in the bed of the truck and what a funny site it was! We forgot to take a picture; but just imagine a truck bed with a wash machine, firewood, 2 totes, 3 suitcases, 2 cases of beer, 3 cases of soda, a dolley, and 2 coolers loaded inside driving down the interstate. We stopped at Corydon to get a bite to eat and get some fuel. While we were fueling up a guy asked if we were going away for the weekend and we told he we were headed to Brown County, we chit-chatted some more and were on our way. When we got back on the road we started to think about how funny we looked with all the stuff on the truck! We couldn't help but laugh at the what people were probably thinking; huh those people are going camping and taking their wash machine with them that is interesting. haha
We arrived at our cabin Bearly Ruff'n It. It was a super cute cabin, in a great location! We arrived and went in and just took in the beauty and adorableness of the cabin! Before we unpacked the truck to settle in for the weekend. The cabin was so perfect for our needs. It had to suites, one upstairs and one downstairs. And an additional full bath downstairs! It had a small kitchen but it had all the things that we needed. It also had a nice living area with a fireplace and a big tv. Upstairs in the loft was a pool table and a few other games. Off the back was a screened in porch with a hot tub and off that was another deck with the grill and a lower deck that led to the fire pit! The bedrooms each had a king size bed and a fireplace and tv. The bathroom downstairs had a 2 person shower and washer and dryer! Talk able having all we could need and more! It was perfect! After we unpacked and got settled in we discussed our plans for the next day before heading to bed!
We awoke on Saturday and since it was my birthday I refused to cook! lol So Misty and Brad were in charge of making breakfast. Since the kitchen wasn't really big enough for 2 Misty and I went out on the lower deck and enjoyed a cup of coffee while Brad B. made us french toast and eggs! It was super yummy!! We then headed out to Indy to drop the washer off to Abby. After we did that we headed to Wal-Mart to pick up a few supplies that we had forgotten or didn't realize that we would need. We grabbed a bite to eat and headed back to Brown County. We went to the cabin and changed and got our stuff and headed to the State Park to go swimming. We got there and were in the pool for about 20 minutes when we were told that we had to get out for an hour because a kid fell and cut his chin open and then threw up in the pool, yucky! So we got out and drove around the park for a little while and went to the country store and got some ice cream before heading back to the pool. We got back to the clean pool and got in and were hanging out for about 30 minutes when we were told we had to exit the pool area due to thunder in the area and we would have to be out until a half hour after the last thunder. Well, we figured that it just wasn't our day at the pool so we packed it all up and headed back to our cabin. When we got back Brad and Misty started on supper. They made steak, baked potatoes, mac and cheese, corn, and rolls. What a wonderful birthday dinner!! Thanks guys for a great meal! We hung out at the cabin and the boys played pool and then they built a fire in the fire pit and we roasted some marshmallows! We also relaxed in the hot tub before heading to bed.
On Sunday it was our day to cook we had biscuits and gravy and sausage for breakfast. We then got ready and headed to Edinburgh to do a little shopping. When we finished there we went to Nashville and walked through most of the shops there. We then headed back to the cabin and we made chicken, cheesy taters, and green bean casserole for supper. It was yummy! We then relaxed in the hot tub one last time before heading to bed.
We got up on Monday and packed up our stuff and headed back for home. We decided to stop at The Falls of the Ohio State Park. When I was in 6th grade we took a field trip there and I got sick the night before and didn't get to go so I wanted to check it out. It was a neat place to see. There were lots of rocks to climb around on, we went down to the water and saw the falls. We also saw some neat fossils along the way. I was glad we went to see it. We grabbed something to eat and headed back home.
All in all it was a wonderful weekend away! I was glad to get away for my Birthday and glad that we got to spend time with some of our great friends.
