Parke County: Bridgeton Mill
On Saturday, July 14 we decided to fly over to Terre Haute and visit Grandma Cindy for her upcoming birthday. It so happens that Grandma Cindy lives very close to Parke County so we also decided to visit “Indiana’s Most Famous Covered Bridge.”
The day started with a quick flight over to Sky King airport, on the north side of Terre haute. The interesting thing about this flight were all the clouds. It was my (Annie’s) first real experience flying in the clouds.
Grandma Cindy gladly met us at the airport and we piled in the car and drove just a few minutes to her house. Grandma Cindy lives in the country so Isaac had a chance to run around, check out the garden, see the dog and cats, and most importantly walk next door and see the horses.
After a homemade lunch, we piled back in the car and drove on nice curvy county backroads for about 25 minutes before arriving in Bridgeton. Of course, Zoe feel asleep just a few minutes before we arrived. But we still got a pretty good family picture in front of the covered bridge.
Then we explored the bridge.
By that time, Zoe was awake. Grandma Cindy gladly took a few more family pictures. I guess this is what you get with a 2.5 year old and a baby; I think it sums us up pretty well at the moment.
After tearing Isaac away from throwing things in the water, we ventured over to the mill. The mill is an actual working mill and you can buy their products in the store.
Isaac found more water.
On the way back to Grandma Cindy’s house, we decided to visit the Roseville Bridge. This one we drove through.
After a brief weather delay (for a very welcome quick summer thunderstorm), we were on our way back to Columbus. The sun and the lingering clouds made for a beautiful flight home.
