Brown County: Homeward Bound

Julie and I reluctantly bid a fond farewell to our vacation this morning. :(

After leaving Nashville, we stopped at an outlet mall. My sole purchase of the day can be viewed in the photo below. Some of Julie's youth group kids were competing at the semi-state marching band competition, which just happened to be almost on our path home. We planned to go watch them perform, and it was BLESSED windy. Since I had not prepared for wind, I bought a hat.

We ended up on the second to the top row of the stadium. COLD!! WINDY!!!


And yet, fun! I'd never before been to a marching band competition. Adams Central High School, ready to take the field...

I have to say, despite the fact I couldn't feel my back by the end of it, I really enjoyed watching the competition! Fascinating stuff.

Appropriately, "wind" was part of their theme.


We ended up staying for one more band after Adams Central, and then we came home. The drive home was FAR less eventful then our drive down. (Thank, you, Jesus!)
I'm happy to report we're still friends! At least I think we are. Julie?????

Great photos! How wonderful you were able to get away and have such a good time. (Well, except for the tow-truck/SUV incident!)
