Catching Up, Pt 1

     Since we started this blog a couple weeks into this summer, let's take a look back at our first two adventures of 2019. (I won't go back and catch y'all up from the inception of #wackywednesdaywanderings because that would take way too long and you'd stop reading by paragraph two.) So, back to 2019...
     June 5 would be the first official Wednesday of our summer adventure season. We got the summer started with me in a computer science training workshop for school. I did have a lot of fun and learned a lot of information. I knew it was going to be on a Wednesday when I signed up for it but I also knew it would be worth giving up a travel day. But my husband surprised me.
     When I got home, we got in the car and made a short drive to Bremen, IN for their farmer's market. While I know it'll get even better when produce becomes available, we were able to get some great deals! I got a beautiful hanging basket filled with Wandering Jew, Drew got a nice homemade beeswax candle, we picked up a loaf of fresh bread for my mom (she has a food allergy and it makes buying bread hard for her) and homemade apple butter for my dad plus little handmade holders for the grandbabies to use when they eat Mr. Freeze pops so they don't have cold little fingers. Check them out some Wednesday and on Facebook at Bremen Farmer's Market
     After the farmer's market, we drove to Lake of the Woods, literally a lake in the middle of a pretty wooded area of Bremen. We sat by the lake, watching birds and boats while relaxing together. But we were starting to get hungry. One thing we like to do on our adventures is eat at places we don't have around home. Being relatively close to home, that didn't seem like it would be too easy.
     We drove to Plymouth, IN and looked on our Maps app to see what restaurants were nearby. We stopped at one that looked good but found out that they only took cash (which we rarely carry and didn't that night - we had spent the cash we brought at the farmer's market). So we went to option two. Symphony Family Restaurant doesn't look like much on the outside. It sits next to the Little League park and looks like it hasn't been updated for a couple decades. However, on the inside we found a restaurant with very friendly staff and delicious food. In fact, we found out all their soups, salad dressings and bread sticks are homemade in house. That's incredibly hard to find these days. If you're in the Plymouth area or are up for a bit of a drive to get a delicious meal, check them out at Symphony Family Restaurant. We headed home feeling very satisfied. Such was the beginning of our summer (even though that wasn't an "official" #wackywednesdaywanderings)

Stay tuned for part 2.
