On to Indy

The best laid plans are bound to be changed, at least that seems to be the way it goes for me. The original plan was to get up, head to the Saint Mary's bookstore by 9 when it opened and the on to Indianapolis.

By 9 am we were just heading to breakfast at the hotel, oops!  We had breakfast and then we're off to SMC.  We spent quite a bit of time walking around campus and sharing my favorite sites with Will and Brian. 

We finally hit the road to Indy around noon.  This was my first time on the 31 bypass from South Bend to Indy - so much better than the boring 3 hour trek on 65!  We took a slight detour around Kokomo in search of a Starbucks (which the sign claimed was 2 miles from the bypass), but got back on the bypass after we were unable to find Starbucks :(. 

Our great traveller slept the whole way from South Bend to Indy and was ready to go by the time we got there. Our origins thought was to visit the Indianapolis Zoo, but getting to Indy around 2:30 and the zoo closing at 5, we decided to skip the zoo. We hung out at the hotel for a bit and then headed out to meet Emily for dinner at Giadornio's. 

After dinner Brian and Will swam for a little bit. When we first got to the pool it was quiet but as more kids came into the pool we decided it was time for bed.
