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.

Participate the Indy500 parade and watched the car racing. Attending five different parties in Indianapolis and Cincinnati (graduation and memorial) . Crossing the bridge to Newport, Kentucky (just to use the rest room) lol Staying in a beautiful home and delicious meal at my friends house at no expense! Everything is pleasant.

     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 …

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 …

I made it back to Indiana exhausted and jet-lagged.  I think that might have gotten 30 minutes of sleep total during my over 30 hours of travel.  My aunt and uncle were at the airport to meet me.  It is always weird when you have to return home for a family emergency as sometimes the…

Just a few pics of Indy and the cafe I use to own. Pics of the "canal" which is nice to walk, run, kayak,enjoy outdoor life. Indianapolis Childrens Museum. Also photos of downtown.

Places I have seen, things I have done

Posted on four large plaques inside the lobby of the Indiana War Memorial were the following words:Duty. Faith. Freedom. Courage.For today's blog, I'm putting my silly banter aside and instead letting the passion and admiration for this country's heroes feed through my finger tips.&n…

It all started with an idea. Hmmm....skipped Europe last year in favor of a grand Pacific Northwest Canada trip.....and I am now eager to get a nice, long Eurailpass again. Never been to Sicily or southern Italy really, and wanting to max out on the experience with a first class month long Eurailpa…

    Am nächsten Morgen stehen wir wieder pünktlich am Newark Airport und kaufen für den Tag von den Food Vouchers, die wir bekommen haben, erstmal 2 Yoghurt-Müsli-Cups, 4 (!!!) Sour Creme Bagels und 1 Double Chocolate Muffin für den Tag. Entgegen aller Erwartung komm…

We took a trip to Indianapolis, IN. It was a 6 hour drive. We went to see the NFL football game, the Colts vs the 49ers.

This blog is posted as a tutorial to a fellow travbuddy's trip to my city, Indianapolis. I helped guide her through our historic downtown, our suburban North side, and our scenic Morse Lake. Also lending me a "Hosting" hand were my two good friends, and fellow travbuddies, scotthoch85 and jasonhunt. Thank’s guys!
