Tourist in your own town

Feeling the need to get out of the house and also to get Dusty to quit working on the weekend, this afternoon I announced for everyone to get their shoes on; we were leaving. I did not disclose the location for our adventure, but kept everyone guessing. First stop - the museum at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We've lived here for almost a decade, but had not been to the track. Although Aaron reminded me as we were pulling in that he had been there with a friend last year for a motorcycle race.

We spent time looking at the cars and trophies. Here's Aaron with the trophy for the winner of the Brickyard 400

With Tony Stewart's winning car



Rachel's favorite car....PINK!!





The Borg-Warner trophy for the Indianapolis 500 winner





Then we headed downtown to go to the top of the Sailor's and Soldier's Monument. We've been to the monument lots of times but never up in it. $2 per person to ride the elevator with Rachel being free vs. climbing 32 flights of stairs with a 4-year old...$6 well spent!







Finished up the day with dinner at Fazoli's and a trip to Family Video. Time to go watch a movie! :)
