Hometown Tour

On the Saturday of Darcy's visit, we stayed closer to home and just went to see the various "stuff" that our local community has to offer in its downtown, which has its own famed Riverwalk. You can see one of the many covered bridges (pedestrian only) behind me and Will. You can also the raging river; it's been raining a lot here recently.

Did you say "cheese" or "Cheez It?"

It was playing while we were there so we didn't walk up for a tour; I thought it would be too loud on Will's ears from the inside (and that he would be too heavy for me to carry up 500 steps)!


Centennial Beach - the city swimming pool
It's an old rock quarry that has been the pool for 75 years. It has the sand beach play area and a shallow area that eases into the bigger pool, so it's nice for kids. We went once earlier this summer, but the water was a little cool still so we didn't stay long.

For dinner that night, we discovered a great restaurant called Hugo's Frog Bar. It's not new; just new to us! It was just a girls dinner out, since Jason volunteered to stay home with the sleeping baby. It was the perfect ending to Darcy's great visit!
