Spring Break { General Butler State Park }

Spring Break sure flew by! At least that is how it felt for us. We had plans of camping at the Kentucky Horse Park. But someone decided they had to mow all his yards and wouldn't be able to meet us until evening and then had to leave for work Friday morning. I thought for about a millisecond of trying to camp on our own but like I said that was only for a moment lol. There are only so much I can do and setting up a tent isn't one of them. Plus the weather was iffy. I remembered from camping at General Butler this past summer that they had little cottages. So on Tuesday I called and reserved us one. That way the kids and I could go on down Wednesday without having to wait on Nick. If it rained it wouldn't be a big deal. It ended up being a nice, quiet getaway for a few days. There isn't a lot to do in early spring. The pool is closed. But we made the most of our little getaway!
We got there like I said Wednesday afternoon. The kids and I unpacked and played at the park. I was able to relax and read my book. By the time Nick arrived it was bed time!




Poor Sophie!


They begged to make slime!







Thursday we got up and Nick  made us breakfast. We decided to visit Madison, Indiana. This historic town is tucked along the  Ohio River in southern Indiana. There are blocks and blocks of historic homes and businesses. The shops are adorable and looking at the homes makes me want to buy a big historic house and fix it up!! It was a gorgeous day to wander the streets, have lunch, and shop.












After we got back from Madison, the kids decided they wanted to go for a walk. We found a trail and off we went to burn some calories before having dinner at one of Nick's favorite spots in Carrolton, Cooper's. It started raining by dinner time so we relaxed and packed up.















 

Found the camper I want........





Friday the kids and I headed home (Nick left early that morning for the firehouse). I caught up on all the laundry and decided to take the kids to see Boss Baby! All in all it was a great spring break. Now bring on Summer Break and our vacation to Charleston!!!
