Spring Mill State Park

My ideal adventure or vacation includes: something natural, something historical and something fancy. Today we unlocked that achievement by packing a picnic and taking the kids to the pioneer village at Spring Mill State Park!! I love this place! We usually visit once a year (see baby Felix in previous visits here) to watch the giant grist milk run, listen to reenactors while they weave, tool leather or spin pottery and wander the grounds. We always get a stick of old fashioned candy before heading home. For a couple seconds, on a slow afternoon, I can imagine myself living there back in time. I’ve always loved history and used to dress up in historic costumes (read about me and my Kirsten doll here) and I’m scheming for a trip to Colonial Williamsburg all decked out when the kids are a little older. For now, a country drive an hour south will hold me over. #pinoeerlife
