LiTTLe NaSHViLLe, INDiaNa TRiP

This year I thought it would be fun to do

something different Black Friday, so we

took an overnight trip to Little Nashville,

Indiana to shop, eat and see a play.

I had heard about The Farmhouse Cafe &

Tea Room so that was our first stop for lunch.

LOVED this place!  Very ecclectic, groovy

vibe going on here!  And the food was great!

Ken after eating his Rueben sandwich AND part of mine...

After eating lunch I decided to explore the

grounds a little.  In the summer it's an herb

and flower farm and they also sell LOTS of rustic

and new garden items and birdhouses.

A friendly gray cat followed me around.

Tried to get a good picture but he was too

fast on his feet!

No one was around as cat and I explored and the

blackbirds cawed in the cold afternoon.

After eating, it was on to Little Nashville.

I mentioned the word Bakery and Ken was at

this place in a flash.

This guy was a little whimsical ... 

and a little creepy!

Finally checked in at the Artists Colony Inn!

Beautiful place to stay and very friendly staff.

We were going to take a horse & carriage ride,

but it was FREEZING so we decided not to.

(much to Ken's delight)

So instead we went to Yesteryear Old Time

Photo Studio and dressed as gangsters & flappers!

7:30 p.m. - Time to go to the Brown

County Playhouse to see A TUNA CHRISTMAS.

Not as good as the presentation I saw

a few years ago in Cincinnati, but it was

cute and we enjoyed the brownies & snacks.
