lake winona

yesterday kaylee and i went to the village at lake winona down in warsaw. the village at winona is a little shopping/eating area on the lake. it also hosts grace college. there really isn't too many places to shop. most are art galleries which i can not afford but it was still very cool to look at. i did manage to spend a little bit of money at whetstone woodenware. bought the small biscuit cutter and the round breadboard. not really modern but i still like them and i also like supporting our local artists and shops.

we ate some lunch at the boathouse. the food was not bad. nothing spectacular but still good. we walked across the street from the shops since they had a great courtyard for kaylee to roam around. she was pretending to be a butterfly + a mermaid or a butterflymermaid. i got to see some fabulous houses. i loved this first one and would have loved to seen inside. bet it was gorgeous! i love old houses and seeing them being taken care of. i wish i had gotten some pictures of the shops. they were bungalow style and the mailboxes were just neat details.

we walked back along the shops and got some much needed ice cream. {yeah, like i really needed that!} and we walked along the channel some more. i was going to head over to the park area but thought against it. i had a hard time getting kaylee to leave as is. if she had seen the playground, well we would still be there right now. next time we go down we will take mike with us, a picnic lunch and it will be a full day dedicated to the playground and walking around the lake while i take some pictures.
