♪ So I get all sentimental, like all good drunkards do ♪
Just have to say, we really enjoyed our time away last weekend. Good food, good friends, some great music, and maybe a little too much beer, but it felt wonderful spending time with people in pleasant, welcoming spaces.
Muncie, Indiana, at least the downtown area where we spent most of our time, is a beautiful city that we had a good time exploring, with lots of historic buildings and independent businesses, be it excellent coffee and pastry at The Caffeinery, delicious gourmet pub fare at Twin Archer Brewpub or drinks and music at The Fickle Peach.
We even took a side trip up the road to Indianapolis and spent a few hours at The Indianapolis Zoo.
But mostly, it was about friends, stories, and making memories: Chris’s rapping, Sugar the hedgehog, the nightly bottle exchange, impromptu trivia, All Beers Considered, and brunch with sassy waitresses in the magical land of four dollar pints.
Sure, the drive was long (especially on the way home), the sky was sometimes too big, and not everything went entirely to plan, but those are the kinds of things that make life interesting.
I really needed that, is all I’m saying.
