Nashvegas Baby...Indiana?

That's right, there is a Nashville, IN-I had no idea but Stephen's dad recommended that he and I take a one-day trip up there since he knew that we loved exploring new towns and such. First off just let me say-"wow." I was taken aback immediately when we got into town. There were people walking around everywhere, I swear you'd think we just landed in Gatlinburg or something. Apparently it's a hotspot.

We parked at the edge of town and began our exploration from there. The whole village is storybook-like and still maintains its turn of the century charm without being over the top. Littered throughout the town are small "alleys" full of artisans and unique gardens and buildings and fudge shops--oh my!

We both enjoyed going in and out of the craftsman stores and admiring their work. These places were just tucked away and it felt like we were the only ones who knew about it.

We both appreciated the architecture and the beautiful gardens accented by the paint colors on the buildings.

Did I mention the village also had two wineries? Ahhhh... heaven! After tasting some delicious Riesling, we followed our noses to lunch: The Hobknob Corner Restaurant. It was delicious. It was in a building that had seen better days and had previously been a pharmacy in the 1800's. Regardless, the food was amazing. We both had the special: a roast beef sandwich on homemade French bread with grilled onions and Swiss cheese and a delicious sauce. Delish!

Overall, we were very happily surprised at what all Brown County/Nashville had to offer. We spent the whole afternoon there and would recommend it to anyone as a quick day-trip from the Kentuckiana area.
