This is a combination of journals that I wrote during that time along with my own memories.Today is my last day home.  I will leave this evening, get a hotel room close to the Indianapolis Airport and fly back to my other home across the ocean, leaving early tomorrow morning.  The past tw…

The flight from Chicago to Indianapolis can best be described as taking off and landing, because there is only 5-10 minutes of actually being at the flight level.  To the east of the flight path was an incredible thunder and lightning storm.  I will admit that I have not seen a lightning …

Indianapolis- The Capital of the State of Indiana.  Also know as The Circle City, The Racing Capital of the World, or Naptown. Founded in 1821. It is the second largest US capital, after Phoenix.    It is a great place to live.  Did you know that Indianapolis was the numb…

We visited the home of the Indy 500 races before heading out of town. Even though we were not racing fans, it was interesting to see all the old/past race cars in the museum and take the behind the scene tour in the racetrack.

Going to sleep this past Thursday night was a challenge. Jack Johnson was slated to kick off the much anticipated world concert tour for his newest album "Sleep Through the Static" on Friday, June 13th at 7pm. So needless to say I didn’t get much rest as I lay in bed revisiting the first ti…

Planning a trip seems to the be half (if not more) of the battle. Right now, just figuring out how to get to Toronto is quite a hassle, with parties on all sides trying to get me to leave Ann Arbor at different times and through different modes of transportation. Between my dad, Adnan, Samar, and o…

The next morning, Lena & I woke up to my cousin Karen fixing breakfast for everyone. She sure knows how to spoil a guest; with coffee already made and a big breakfast of bacon, biscuits, and eggs being made! I guess it runs in the family because that's just how I do it when guest stay with us! …

In November my husband and I drove to Indianapolis, Indiana to watch the NFL football game the Colts vs. the 49ers. I'm not really that big into watching football but watching it live was really awesome. I had been to Indianapolis once before, but I was just a kid. My husband had never been before.…

     After rising early once again we all piled into the car and headed out. The directions my dad got off of Mapquest ended up being slightly wrong. It told us to turn onto on street and go somewhere when we couldn't get to the place it told us to go from the street it told us to ge…

We studied the brochures and possibilities of what to do in Indianapolis with limited time.  The weather was pretty crummy - cold and wet - so outdoor activities were eliminated.  We finally settled on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.  With the Indy 500 coming in May, we thoug…

Layla (my puppy) and I decided to head back down to Military Park the next day and check out the annual car show hosted by the National Guard. I had a friend who brought entered his classic truck to participate in the show and thought it would be a great way to support his truck and also …
