year later add-on
Its crazy that it was a year ago this weekend that I drove with Ben out to Springfield for him to stay and move there. He already wrote a blog on this but I had more pictures I wanted to add. I remember when he got the job in Springfield it was a place I had never even thought about before, and now its funny a year later that I feel some sort of constant communication and connection to Springfield because of Humzoo and all the bloggers from there!
But ya it is just nuts to reflect on how much has happend in the last year...and how quick it has been!
We left at 10:30pm and drove straight till the next morning
When we finally got to Springfield...this was the first thing I saw and took a picture of.
This and the smoke stacks of the big plant.
There were more corn fields than I had ever seen before
We tried to see all of the touristy sites and figure out what Springfield was all about
rubbing the nose seemed like what you were suppose to do!
I was impressed by all the different things in Springfield
We thought to go out to eat meant to go downtown (later discovering the other part of the city with restaurants and stores)...but the only place we found open to get food was the Hilton
and there was a fun band
That's all...it's just funny to reflect on my opinion of Springfield going there for the first time last November, then comparing to my second and third trips and even to my opinion now which is so shaped by all the Springfield humzooers! I'm a fan!
I actually have a regret related to Springfield too.... from the first touristy guide I read about Springfield I always wanted to go to the Dana Thomas House...each of my trips out we never got around to it...and now it's closed!

I didn't even know they were closing. I've been through once and lived here (or near here) since I was 5. I might have to try to go again before its too late!
