"Tall Hannah" and I decided to give Jessi a whirlwind tour of Fort Wayne yesterday. I think we hit all the major hot-spots!
 |
| First stop: The Vera Bradley Factory - where the purses are made! |
 |
| Heading downtown, we catch a glimpse of the rainbow smokestacks |
 |
| At The Fort |
 |
| At the confluence of the three rivers: St. Joe, St. Mary, and Maumee |
 |
| Cotton trees! Makes it look like it's snowing on a breezy June day. |
 |
| Jessi really hit it off with her new friend, Chief Little Turtle |
 |
| Connie in Headwater Park |
 |
| Jessi and Hannah with Major General Anthony Wayne |
 |
| Part of the downtown skyline |
 |
| The Courthouse |
 |
| Cool Time Capsule, buried in 1999, to be opened 2100. |
 |
| Fort Wayne's modern art... not this city's strongest feature |
 |
| This is where the city of Fort Wayne started! |
 |
| Enjoying the cushy reading cubbies in the children's section of Allen County Public Library. |
 |
| Reading my favorite children's book at the library |
 |
| Me and Jessi hugging at the Tin Caps' baseball stadium |
 |
| Tee hee hee - tin caps! |
 |
| We could not find any of the city's famous mastadons, but we did find this big sneaker! |
 |
The grave sit of Johnny Appleseed. It says: "He lived for others."
We think that's a cool way to be remembered. |
 |
Last stop: The DeBrand Chocolate Factory, where we had this amazing thing...
It's DeBrand ice cream in a milk chocolate cup, drizzled with milk and dark chocolate,
sprinkled with pecans, and topped with a piece of DeBrand dark chocolate. |
 |
| ... And the general concensus was: "Mmmmmmm..." |
Next weekend we plan to visit a bunch of parks and gardens... stay tuned!
