Shrimp and Mount Echo

This weekend we traveled the not too far distance to Urbana for the Shrimp Festival. I had never been to Urbana and even though its out in the middle of no where, it was a really cute town. (Reminded me a lot of Logan, Utah) We found out about the Shrimp Festival through the newspaper and couldn't figure out why none of our neighbors had ever heard of it. Well we quickly realized why...it was the smallest festival I've ever been to! But it was a lot of fun and the shrimp was good. Then later dad took me to Mount Echo park, which I had discovered on the Internet and wanted to go see. Its a park on top of a hill overlooking Cincinnati. It seemed like a really nice place, however we didn't get to see half of it because it was closed for a wedding. Oh well I guess that means we'll just have to visit again.
The pretty farm field views in Urbana.

Fresh shrimp cocktails were so good!

Anyone who knows my dad knows that he has quite the sweet tooth. The family had fun discovering the Sunshine Bakery stand at the festival.
