~ Falls of the Ohio River State Park & Corydon, IN ~

We got to see two very interesting places this past weekend.  The first is near and dear to my heart because Jeff and I spent a night there on our honeymoon, years ago.  It was fun to take the kids to see a bit of our history.  Throw in the fact that the town is part of Indiana history, and you have a great way to get some learning in there too! 

In case you did not grow up in IN, Indianapolis was not the first state capital of this fine state.  Corydon, IN can boast that honor.  Above is a picture of the state capital building.  Here is alink if you want to know more. 

Here is a picture of theinn that we stayed at on our honeymoon. 

After a tasty picnic of fried chicken, we headed to a nearby park, The Falls of the Ohio State Park.   We would have spent more time there, but a strong storm popped up and so we smartly took cover.  We hope to go back and explore there more one day.  We did get to spend plenty of time in the interpretive center.    Here are some photos. 







 

 

I hope you had a nice weekend.  I am getting us ready to go back to lessons next Monday.  The kids are excited to get back to work and we want to bank some days in case we need them this spring.  My plan is to not turn on the computer until the afternoons.  I think that will help me be less distracted.  At least that is what I am hoping!

Neat pictures - the old State Capitol even looks like it would make a pretty home. Wow, back to school hey? I understand though. Good idea on keeping the computer off until afternoon too - that's what I should do. I've been on all morning and haven't gotten anything done but the dishes - not it's time to scramble to get all my work done this afternoon.

Have a great week!

Wow, what lovely pictures!

I hope you have a great school year and that it works for you to keep the computer off all morning. My goal is to get all the computer work done before breakfast...without postponing breakfast too long! I don't know how that will work once we start our school year.

I never heard of the falls of the Ohio. I'm going to have to check that out - maybe soon - were leaving to go south by the end of this week.
Looks like you had a great time - your family always does!
