Weekend Getaway

Hubsey and I spent Easter weekend in Indianapolis. He and his dad sparked the idea for the trip back when they got NCAA tickets and it snowballed from there. My sister lives in Indy, so obviously I used the excuse to go hang out with her, then my mother-in-law decided she'd better come along, too, and then my parents said they would drive over from southern Illinois. Plus, Hubsey's old roommate lives there now, too, and joined us for a while. It was a party!

I meant to take more pictures, but I usually forget about my camera when I'm in the middle of having fun. Thank god for Instagram, because it reminded me to get a few things.

This taco salad from 3 Sisters Cafe turned out to be more like nachos featuring some lettuce, which was secretly fine with me because I wanted nachos but there weren't any on the menu. Score.

Those of us who were hotel-bound stayed near something called Monument Circle, which is one of my favorite places in the whole city. This was the view from the 18th floor:

I also picked up some snazzy new shoes on Thursday before we left, but it ended up being kind of drizzly and wet Easter morning so I didn't get to wear them. (Of course, the sun came out an hour later when I was several blocks away from my bag. Oh, nature!)

We got back yesterday and I concluded my holiday weekend by eating a cheese and fruit plate while watching a documentary about prison gangs. I was supposed to be doing my homework, but the National Geographic channel has a lot of good stuff on Netflix and I got distracted...

How was your long weekend? Anybody else have a non-traditional Easter celebration?
