French Lick, IN

Chris and I decided to take a overnight trip to French Lick, Indiana to celebrate our five year anniversary.  We decided to stay at the West Baden Hotel which is part of the French Lick Resort.  We were surpirsed to find this large and unique hotel situated in southern Indiana.  It has an interesting history starting back in the 1800's.


This is what you see as you drive up to the hotel

the resort was built around the natural springs that apperently help you "go"


don't think about drinking it, Chris

at one point in the 1900's, this was the largest free-standing dome





We sat and enjoyed the evening music in the lobby and played a game of checkers. Later we enjoyed the pool and hot tub.

good ole' self timer on my camera
