Weekend Getaway

This weekend, we met my inlaws in Indy and dropped off the three youngest.  Nathaniel and I had a little get-away while the kids had their own adventures, Saturday morning to Monday afternoon. 

We had a good time.  It's different, now, trying to plan any type of travel.  How much I can do depends on the day, and I have to have lots of sitting spells.  We did go to the state museum, which I've been meaning to see for more than 20 years.  We also drove through some old cemeteries (yes, I'm a weirdo who loves old cemeteries), ate really great food, and visited the Benjamin Harrison presidential site.  Now I am going to have to read more about him, because it was really interesting, and Nathaniel bought me a book.   We also saw the new Indiana Jones movie, which I really enjoyed.

Today, Nathaniel took me to some woods.  There's probably nothing I like more than walking in the woods, and this particular trail isn't something much.  A year ago, I would have thought this hill was nothing, but today, I struggled to the top.  It's been a rough week, with my lungs lit on fire from the Canadian wildfire air, and my leg not really cooperating much.  

This was the view from the bench at the top of the hill.  We sat there for quite some time, as I caught my breath, and Nathaniel just sat with me.  It's a beautiful view.  Another day, I could probably walk on down to the pond and get a closer look at the giant koi we could see from the bench, but for today, I had to be content with just heading back down the hill we came up.  It was much easier going down.
