A couple of weeks ago, my sister came up and Brian and I were able to get away for a night. We took Silas with us because of course he can't be away from Mama for more than a few hours:). We had such a refreshing time of relaxation, sleep, and lots and lots of uninterrupted talking.
The kids at home seemed to have had a great time with Auntie Donna as well! Thank you, Donna! We're extremely grateful.
We actually ended up crossing the river to walk through the little river town of Madison, Indiana. It was founded in 1809 and the buildings were old and quaint. We enjoyed our brief visit of the town. They had a GREAT bookstore. No pictures, so I'll tell you about it:). Wood shelves up to the ceiling, ladders, and a beautiful Steinway grand piano {drool}. Sigh. Someday. Of course, I think we need a place big enough for it first. Ha! It was an old fashioned bookstore, very clean and neat, and of course modern books:). We could have stayed there a long time, but Silas was getting fussy at that point!
The antique store was massive, too. That was fun to go through.
Snapshots of the town. So quaint and cute!
A stop for a coffee and a chai latte!
Check out this old, old movie theater showing Courageous! And look at that box office! Too bad it was closed. I really, really wanted to go in!
We did a lot of driving around and looking at scenery. Because Silas was with us, it was a great way for him to nap and us to have lots of talking time!
Us!
And our adorable sidekick!
It was a very restful weekend. We didn't realize how poorly we have been sleeping due to loud neighbors until we were in a quiet cabin! We had some great discussions. Set goals, dreamed dreams, made plans, had fun! Love my hubs!

Sounds like a fun weekend and an adorable little town.
Hope you are all doing well.
We will have to visit that town some day!! So glad you were able to get away and for your sweet sis who watched your sweeties!
Sounds like it was so memorable. I am so glad your sister was able to help you have some time away. I think it is really important for young couples to get away and take time to celebrate your marriage.
When are you going away next?! ;-)
