278/365 - Visit to Indy

After Erica's early morning (8:30!) soccer game (ended up in another 1-1 draw), we drove out to Indianapolis for our "Fall Respite" (Scott's name to this short overnight trip).

Even though the cloudy and cool day caused us to bundle up in coats, we enjoyed a short walk around the streets of the city, venturing down to Monument Circle.


The streets were bustling with crowds and activity, due to the Saturday afternoon's Circle City Classic football game and tomorrow's ensuing Colts home game. Scott commented that his last trip here to see the Colts wasn't nearly as crowded. The kids opted to spend their evening playing games in the hotel room (we stayed at the Omni Severin) while Scott and I took an evening walk.

We ate dinner at Buca's, a fun Italian eatery where "Family Style Portions" means tons of food. Hey, we'll eat the leftovers after we get back home tomorrow night!
