Last Day in Ft. Wayne

 8-21-2021 - Saturday

Another warm day here, predicted high of 88 degrees.  The campground filled up yesterday, I doubt there is one site left.  As we left the campground today, we saw there were events going on next door at the athletic field, so I would guess some of the campers are in town for baseball games or something.

As we turned onto the highway leading into town, an Amish family came by in a horse and buggy. This is the only one we've seen in this area this time.  But we did go into a restaurant that had Amish bread and noodles.  Unfortunately, the restaurant had already quit serving breakfast (it was after 11:00), so Joe paid for his coffee and we went back to the one we had been using.  

Joe wanted to see where the interstate was from Kendallville, so we drove over to I-69 and went to Ft. Wayne that route.  We stopped at Costco on the way to Dixie's - they don't have near the selection of items here that we are accustomed to in Arizona.  We got to Dixie's about 1:30, Lori was there too.  After we visited for a while, we started another game of Mexican Train.  Jim even played this time, so we had a table full.  Again, I forgot to take a picture, but Lori took one with her phone.

After our game, we went out for dinner, then came back and played part of a game -- until 10:00.  This time I remembered to take a picture.  Jim thought he needed to let his dinner digest, so he opted out of this round.

We said our goodbyes and left a little after 10:00.  This is our last time to make the 30-mile drive from Kendallville back to Dixie's but we had a great visit, saw several family members, and had a really good time.  We are hoping the next time we see Jim and Dixie, it will be in Arizona this winter.

Joe keeps sleeping in later and later, which makes for a short morning.  I figured out today that we just need to head to different time zone so his internal clock readjusts.  We don't change time zones until we get though Michigan to Wisconsin, but at least I see hope ahead.
