Day One in B-Town

 I arrived in Bloomington at 1:15 this afternoon after a hectic morning of getting Cameron to Bethany, picking up the house and packing the last minute items.  When I arrived Meg had just gotten out of class and ordered us lunch from the Union.  I met her there and we drove out towards Brett's to get a Polar Pop and look for a place to picnic.  Thankfully, the property adjacent to Woodbridge had a spot so we were able to eat and catch up outside.  It was very nice to see Meg as it had been two months since she left for school. The food was also delicious.  Once we finished eating, we headed to Fountain Park for our tour.  We both liked the apartment complex a lot.  It was near Brett's so if Meg lived there she could walk or take a bus to campus and also walk to Bell Trace.  It was newer than Brett's, but smaller.  Meg had also requested information from Woodbridge so next week she and Yatsiri will make their decision and start the application process.

After our tour we went to the College Mall.  Brett had told me that Yankee Candle was open and Meg and I wanted to check it out.  He was right and we enjoyed picking out a few candles, plug-ins and accessories.  After our small shopping spree, Meg got ready for work.  While she was gone I did some unpacking and went grocery shopping.  She arrived back to Brett's apartment just before Doug and Cameron made it into town.  While she took her ECON quiz, we ordered Mother Bears.  Meg stayed for dinner and watched Disney + with us before going back to her apartment.  Brett then rushed home from work, happy to see us and ready for a  game of Ticket to Ride Africa.  It was definitely a wonderful first day in Bloomington.
