our weekend adventure

So after we stopped at some random gas station to take a picture with the huge chicken, we continued on to Muncie, IN. I think we both agree that we don't need to go back to Muncie for anything. First, the traffic was TERRIBLE. Now, Muncie was not a big enough town to have the traffic we experienced. Also, we probably saw 3 or 4 fender bender accidents in the couple hours before Mikel dropped me off at the conference! It was just a weird town. Ball State University on the other hand was a really nice school with nice facilities! My presentation was very first up on Friday afternoon so I was able to get that over with an then enjoy the rest of the presentations. Mikel explored the town and the school while I at the conference and we got some time to relax back at the hotel and catch some Olympics. The conference is only two days long so Saturday afternoon we headed out to Columbus, OH.

These are some pictures of Ball State...

We took a sort of small highway to Ohio (Reta told us to-- that's our GPS) and passed some cool little towns on the way. This was a cool building in a small little town that we had to pull over and take a picture of...

After we got to Columbus we drove around, toured the campus, checked out the football stadium and basketball arena. We found a hotel for the night and headed to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner.

We had to check this out for dessert as well!

We also stopped at Bowling Green University (where my conference was last year). Bowling Green reminded us the most of ISU...

Our trip finished with a stop in Ann Arbor to see Shad and Kala (two friends from ISU) who are both in Ann Arbor for different reasons. Shad is going to dental school at UM and Kala is doing an internship for her PT program. We had a nice late lunch with them and reminisced about Idaho! It was an awesome weekend and the only thing that would have made it better is if we would have had Monday off work for President's Day like everyone else!

We love adventures!!
