Comfort Inn & Suites Muncie

We decided to visit Larry's childhood home as our trip took us within 15 miles of the infamous spot. Although there is no address (according to Larry) we were able to follow his precise instructions to find the home, barn, and corn crib. Scott took a few photos and ...

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway was established in 1909 and has long prevailed as an icon of motorsports excellence. Beginning in 2009, the Speedway celebrated its Centennial Era, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the facility in 2009 and the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race in 2011.

We took the ground tour and visited the following sites: the timing and ...

In 2008, Lucas Oil Stadium replaced the RCA Dome as home of the Indianapolis Colts. Located in downtown Indianapolis, the Stadium features a retractable roof, a façade of bricks and windows, and has a seating capacity of 70,000. All seats are individual seats with seat backs (no bleacher seats). The Stadium covers 1.8 million square feet. The turf field is 25 feet below street level, allowing fans easier access to their seats. Many modern amenities are found in ...

Okay, it is the night before we leave and I am wondering if I can get all of the final details finished before we have to leave. It is exciting but also unnerving since we will have no idea what to expect. Oh well half the fun is in the adventure.

Well I have everything packed and ready to go.

Packing wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be, actually. This time I decided to roll all of my clothing and it seems like I am taking more in much less space. It wasn't too hard to decide what to bring, either. I'm not sure why. I guess I have some shirts and pants that I really really like and then the rest I'm not too sad about leaving for ten months.

I am only allowed to ...

... without a hitch, and Kelsey set up the audio/video in practically no time.

Just when we were finished with our set-up, Kelsey's mom came into the gymnasium. She had driven two and a half hours that morning to come see our show. It was really neat to have a friendly familiar face there to experience what we do.

The show ran smoothly, and the kids loved it ...

time to leave is getting near!

I have spent the last week at my parents house. On Friday I will leave for Detroit to visit my brother until Tuesday, and then from next Wednesday to the following Wednesday, the 26th, I will be in Bloomington working at the library and hanging out with Matt. I am trying to get all of my visits in in the next 22 days!!!

On Monday I went to my first auction with my aunt Lena. I actually bid on something.. a necklace for $1 ...

... is tight as ever, but I have not spent a dime for 2 months in order to take this trip. We hope to move to Colorado within the next 2 years, and my fiance has never even seen the place. That is the point of this trip. We are ...

... rajalla. St. Louisia lähestyttäessä yksisuuntaisten kaistojen lukumäärä kasvoi kahdesta kuuteen, josta tiesi suurkaupungin olevan lähellä. Reittimme kulki lähes kaupungin keskustan läpi. Vaikutti ihan kivannäköiseltä kaupungilta joen rannalla. St. Louisin jälkeen matkamme jatkui tietä 70 pitkin kohti Indianapolista, nyt jo Illinoisin puolella.


Nälkä alkoi kurnia kahden maissa, joten pys ...

... for more action but it was 9pm Hawaii time and after realizing I had been up for appoximently 21 hours I decided to crash. I woke up early in the morning though (around 6:30) and had a nice run around the area. I got lost for a little bit, but that's alright. When I came back I got some nice photos from my brother's dorm room and a great picture of my brother that I am planning on sending to my mom. I don't think she's seen the beard. A new day awaits.
