Today to give Alex something to do we went on a road trip to Mishawaka to go to the mall. Unfortunately we got a little lost on the way. We got off the bypass at the wrong road (we thought it was the right one until we got way north and there was no mall...just the Inside Outlet), then we thought "I don't want to go all the way back...I bet this road here just cut across to the road we want" and we went on a little adventure that took us all over Mishawaka, South Bend, and Elkhart. About an hour of wandering later, we came out on a main road...just next to the Inside Outlet. About midway through our little tour we were about a half mile from where we wanted, but didn't know that at the time. Of course, both kids were crying by the time we actually got to the mall because they were starving. But Alex got to play in that neat kids play area they have for quite a while, which was good because the weather has been so crappy he can't play outside.
