Easy Day

Today was clear and sunny but turned quite warm and very muggy this afternoon.  We had an early breakfast.  Then I went to the Chocolate Candy demonstration.  Carol Brown was a wonderful teacher - taught us tips and techniques to make chocolate candy including bark, turtles, and covered popcorn with sprinkles.  Of course, we had to taste test which I certainly did!  So I was eating chocolate at 8:30am.  I recommend this "tech" session.

We did the laundry - a necessary activity.  After lunch, we traveled through some of the back roads in the area looking for signs for the scavenger hunt.  Along the way we found neat roads - one was gravel for about 3 miles.  We just kept going to see where it would lead us.  It led us to some cute signs (not for the scavenger hunt) but for our friends from Australia.

We backed up to get these two signs

Wasn't sure what it was till we saw the back side of the sign

Pretty back roads

We continued on our way to the Spring Mill State Park where we had dinner at the Inn.  The food was delicious and plentiful.

After dinner, we decided to skip going to the drive-in movie as it was too muggy out for us and it was about 3 hrs to dark when the movie would start, and we were pooped.  We went back to French Lick. Met up with friends and drank an MG Mule cocktail made with Maker's Mark whiskey, ginger mix, muddled lime, and sprite over ice.  Wow!  Also tried some homemade summer wines that were equally delicious. So we think we made a good decision to head back to the hotel after all.
