Indiana 1

As many of you know, we spend a lot of time in Indiana. Eric's family is from there, we both went to college there, and most of our friends are there. Hence the time spent in Indiana. This time, we hit Indy first and took Alex to the Children's Museum with our friends Nick, Beth, and Jillian. I had not been there since Oct. 2001, when I took my first graders from Lost Creek Elementary, in Terre Haute.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Pyramids, right across from Beef and Boards, home of Caribbean Cove Water Park http://caribbeancovewaterpark.com/. Nice place. I recomend calling and booking, you will get a much better rate/deal then if you book off the website. Alex wasn't too sure about it, but he did enjoy watching the giant bucket spill water onto the pirate ship.

Shower and Shopping

Last weekend I had the privilidge of going to Indianapolis, with Colleen, to our friend Gail's Baby shower. We had a great time and were glad to help welcome an extended member of the Wood Family.

We stayed with Erika and Shane and got to have Monical's Pizza!!! They have recently branched out into the Indianapolis market. Oh, how I missed it so!! I meant to get some dressing to take home, but forgot. We had breakfast with Sarah W. and Charlotte and it was nice to see them. I do believe that Charlotte is taller then Alex, despite being a bit younger. We watched the Colts' game with Nick, Beth, and Jillian. Not a football fan, but good to hangout with friends.

Sunday, we hit the outlet mall in Edinburgh with Scottie. I broke down and bought some new shoes from Bass, (my students would have been proud of me...they were heels!). We all found lots of good stuff to bring home, although some brought home a nasty case of food poisoning.
