Back Home, Sunday, where there is more than corn in Indiana

Picture one is our family. Picture two is my brother, dad and me. Mom was behind the camera!! These are from Father's Day at Indiana Beach - where they have the most phenomenal brunch buffet with Eggs Benedict, fresh sausages and bacon, biscuits and gravy, potatoes - but oddly, no corn! We indulged our sweet tooth - eclairs, chocolate mousse, Reese's peanut butter cheesecake, fresh strawberries and most importantly - DONUTS and JUICE! We won't require any sugar now for .... well at least until next Father's Day.

This is a family tradition - taking my dad to the Roof Garden for breakfast. My parents got engaged out on the docks at Indiana Beach - a spot they can see from the dining area at the restaurant. We roamed the beach weekend after weekend, growing up and we've watched hundreds of ski shows there munching on corn dogs from the Pronto Princess. As teenagers, we even went to a couple of dances at the teen club - but that is a whole other story. When we go there, it really feels like we are home since there are so many good childhood memories .

The wet weather was a big plus, since the place was nearly vacant and we only waited 15 minutes, where in other years we have waited as long as 2 hours for a seat. It was great, we ate too much- and the kids were pretty sedate on the ride home!
