Our trip to Northern Indiana was very long this time because of so many stops. I planned ahead this time and purposely chose a few locations we've always wanted to see up close. Our first stop was the Russel Stover's Chocolate Outlet in Seymour, IN. The kids were in candy heaven! I couldn't believe how many choices and how costly some chocolates can be. The wonderful thing about this outlet, though, are the "Bloopers". They taste just as great as the originals, but aren't perfect in appearance. We got 3lbs of assorted Chocolate for $4.99! If you are crazy about chocolate and are driving on interstate 65, I highly recommend you stop at Seymour, IN and check out the Russel Stover's chocolate outlet. Yum, yum, give me some, please!
After that we made a very unusual stop at McDonald's for a sundae and then off to a nearby Rest Area. The kids were able to run off some of the candy and ice cream before we headed off to see the home of Garfield and James Dean, in Fairmont, IN. We saw lots of memorabilia from movies, books, and magazines for James Dean. The kids picked out a pretty cool magnet for Paw-paw that had two pictures of James Dean. When we finally gave it to Paw-paw he was very grateful. While in Fairmont, we also stopped at the VFW post where the kids were able to get their pictures next to a helicopter, airplane, tank, and very large boat propeller. That was probably their second favorite part of our trip, after the candy outlet.
Lots of fun thus far, but much more to come as we are planning to visit museums, ride horses, go to Mass at the cathedral, target shoot, bowl, roller skate, and much, much, more. I'll try to post new pictures each night. God bless.
