On our trip home from Kansas City we took the girls to the St. Louis Zoo. Which Naomi absolutely loved. She especially loved the penguins, but she liked everything. We had to physically pry her away from several exhibits.
Then we spent the night in Terre Haute at the Days Inn which is newly refurbished. It was a really nice experience. We have spent a lot more on hotels that weren't as nice.
Then the next morning we went to Rose Hulman and walked around with Sam and Abby. First we stopped in Blumberg and Mees. Then we went to the bookstore. We were surprised to see that the WORX is now Noble Romans Pizza. Then we played pool in the game room. Which was mostly trying to teach the kids how to poke at the balls with sticks.
We walked around in the classroom buildings and Paul went to visit with professors while I bought the children a snack at the coffee shop (in Moench).
After our visit to Rose we ate at the Burger King on 46, which we were pleasantly surprised to discover has a slide.
On the way home we wanted to stop for ice cream. But that proved to be more difficult than anticipated. We first stopped at two closed ice cream shops before finding a Culver's Frozen Custard where the four of us shared a large sundae.
Then we stopped at Nana's house and got our other two children, went to dinner at Bob Evans (per Abby's request) and finally arrived home!
Our time since then has been a flurry of activity. So I don't think I'll even try to catch up, since I'm almost a month behind.

Wow, I had no idea there were so many more changes at Rose since I've been there! I love how it changes and yet doesn't at the same time. ^_^
Sounds like a lovely trip.
