As they say everywhere now, have a good one! Jacques

... a great night's sleep, we woke up with a complete day off! (What a job!)
We took our time getting up, ate some leftovers, played some cards, and went down to the hot tub (not easy being a Camfel technician).

We got a call from Kelsey's parents. They were leaving Alabama, on their way back up to Michigan, and they were going right through Indianapolis. We decided to meet them along their route and stop at Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. This would fulfill ...

... Indiana side. Once we took some pictures and got some maps, we kept heading north until we hit Indianapolis. It was such a cool city. Downtown was super accessible and was easy to navigate.
