Things To Do
Bloomington Spice Works
Our house is filled with their spices. Unique spice blends, amazing atmosphere and extremely personable owners!
Bistro
The place where we spent almost every Thursday after we turned 21, and the place we got engaged!
Funks Grove Pure Maple Sirup Farm
Just 25 minutes away you can find some of the best maple sirup. (and yes, apparently there is a difference) Our favorite!
The Castle Theatre
Where we had one of our first unofficial dates!
Constitution Trail
Fun walking path that we used to walk/skateboard down that goes for over 30 miles!
Red Raccoon Games
A must stop for any board game lovers! (Caution: likely to get you in financial trouble!)
Rock Soul Love
A wonderland for any witch!
The Painted Wraith Curiosity Shoppe LLC
We were ecstatic when this local shop opened up! As collectors of the rather creepy and unusual (i.e., Ryan) this is heaven for us.
ISU Horticulture Center
Right across from the Corn Crib Stadium (what a name, right?) there's a beautiful garden maintained by the Illinois State University staff. We had our gorgeous engagement photos taken here, as Ryan had taken a Horticulture class that was held at the center. There's even an area where his class did an installation!
The Normal Theater
A gorgeous cinema open from 1937 until 1991, then restored on October 7th (our engagement anniversary!) 1994 and going strong ever since.
Mother Murphy's
One of the oldest headshops in the country! Opened by two women in 1968, anyone into the counter culture scene has found their way into this shop since the year it opened.
The Garlic Press
A home goods store that doubles as a candy and popcorn shop! Very vital during college years. The best man's girlfriend worked here throughout college as well!
