Hoosiers cruise south for spring

It's been many moons since our last post, so what better way to crack the ice than a little spring break visit from Polk and the Bridges crew, sans AJB and Pops?

The only unfortunate thing is they brought crummy Midwestern weather with them, as it was in the 40s and raining for the first day and a half.

Of course, Earl became fast friends with everyone involved, and it was especially mutual with Hannah and A.J. We enjoyed a trip to East Clarke Park and its playground, although the temperatures were in the 40s when we arrived, we stayed long enough for the sun to come out, and warm up about 10 degrees.

Another highlight was a visit to Trader Joe's. While we didn't find the elusive lobster, we did find a coloring table and kid-sized shopping carts for the pint-sized shoppers.

The final stop was a popular destination: Bruce and Carole's house. It's full of toys, snacks, strawberry and chocolate milk and plenty of wine for the old(er) folks.
