Wander project Bloomington Indiana

Shortly after moving from Cincinnati Ohio to Greenwood Indiana (and of course settling into our new house) we started a project of building a pool. It was supposed to be fully operational by June, but those projects are never on time. That fall, our first back in Indiana (after nine years in Ohio) was an interesting one. One of the things we did was take a lot of day trips like we have continued to do wherever we’ve lived.

One of those day trips was to my father’s lab/classroom at Indiana University. Dad was the long head of the Science Education department at Indiana University. His lab/classroom in the new Wendell Wright Education building was something he was very proud of. The trip documented by these pictures occurred before he retired, so his lab was still in use the Saturday we wandered down to Bloomington for a tour.

As you can see in the pictures, the boys were quite young putting this trip around 2000 or 2001. I had just transitioned into traveling a lot (my first international trip for my company was to Holland in 2000). By then I was spending a lot of time during the week in Chicago, home every weekend, but gone during the week. This was a break for me, getting to see my folks and hanging out with the boys. It was a break for Barb as she didn’t have to be a solo parent. I think my traveling impacted her the most in the solo parent reality. Anyway, we wandered to dad’s lab in the school of education and had a fun afternoon. Of course, dad, being dad showed the boys his all time favourite movie the Lorax.
