We love Bloomington

There is a lot about Bloomington that we absolutely, positively LOVE.
It really is an amazing community to live in.
2 items on the rather long list of things that we love about this town would be: the awesome restaurants available to us and Wonderlab. Both of which we took advantage of this weekend.
First up the restaurants. In what other fairly small town could you find Eritrean, Dominican, Tibetan (served up by the Dalai Lama's nephew no less), Cajun, Afghani, Italian, Moroccan, Thai, Turkish, Indian, Irish, and Greek all within easy walking distance of one another? No matter what your palate, Bloomington has a great restaurant serving your favorite food--you just need to find it. We eat out pretty often and Bloomington is a great town for this.
One of our favorite, weekly stops is "Taste of India" which is one of the many Indian restaurants in town. It always has great food and a delicious lunch buffet that North (and Alan and me right along with him) really enjoys. North is often a pretty finicky eater but he can eat his weight in Chicken Tikka Masala (I am not exaggerating here--he ate FIVE bowls of it on Sunday). Here are some photos from our weekend stop.
After gourging on Indian, we all headed to Wonderlab to get some of our energy out.

North loves Wonderlab and is always equally fascinated by the exhibits he's seen lots of times and the brand new ones. He never wants to leave once we get in to the building. So glad we have such an amazing local resource.
