Road Trip...in Southern Indiana

Who knew a road trip in Southern Indiana could be so much fun! We went to French Lick, IN and Starlight, IN today with Mimi & Papa. We arrived early to French Lick to catch the 9am train ride at the Indiana Railway Museum. This was a 2 hour train ride that included a long, dark tunnel that the boys loved and a train robbery! After the train robbery, we were able to get up close with the horses and cowboys but the boys wanted nothing to do with that.

"I got my hands up! Don't get me!"

Brady gave all his money to the robbers!

After the train ride, we went over to French Lick Winery for an italian lunch at the cafe. It was really good, but the boys were more interested in getting on with the trip. We stopped briefly in the West Baden Hotel to see the lobby area and restored dome, which was amazing.

We then headed to Starlight, IN (which Little Debbie GPS did not think existed) to visit the Huber Wineries and Farms. We spent most of the afternoon at the Joe Huber Farm where the boys could go on cow train rides, wagon rides, launch apples into the lake, climb a 35 flight silo, slide down a 40 foot slide from a barnhouse, and feed/pet goats, chickens, and more. They had a blast! We then ate dinner at the Huber Restaurant before heading home. I think everyone slept except poor Papa!

Connor and Brady both were talking about how much fun they had until their heads hit the pillow that evening and they were out! The fireworks sounding off outside didn't even phase them.
