Day 47: Mommy and Daddy Trip

Since going to Columbus was a bust with the Spieler family, Peter and I decided to take a short trip just the two of us to celebrate our anniversary.  We seem to always be on a family vacation during our anniversary and we rarely get time to ourselves anyway.  Grammy stayed at the house with the boys Saturday morning through Sunday late afternoon.  Peter and I decided to go to Madison, Indiana just an hour an a half away to check out the small town charm, wine trails, explore Clifty Falls and eat dinner without having to entertain!
We stayed at the Hillside Inn right in the heart of downtown Madison.  The place was historic with beautiful views and spacious rooms! It was a great find although next time we hope to stay in the Clifty Inn at Clifty Falls Park.  We ate at an old dive, Hinkle's Sandwich Shop.  They have little burgers kind of like White Castle and it's obvious they have many regulars.  They are even open 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays.  After lunch we took a walk through downtown, checking out all the cute and even beautiful homes in the area.  We walked to the Lanthier Winery for a wine tasting event and walked out with three bottles because we just couldn't decide!  The views of the Ohio River were spectacular and the weather was beautiful.  After the winery tour we decided to check in to the hotel and rest up for dinner at the 605 Grille.  Adorable restaurant, great food!
