On to Indiana!

We drove to Indianapolis, Indiana for our next leg of our trip. I insisted that we visit the Indianapolis 500 even though David gave me grief about it. He reminded me that we do not follow race car driving but I think you need to see the most popular sites of each city and why not? So, we were off to the track! This had to be the neatest thing we did really - we got an actual track tour where they loaded us on a bus and they drove us around the track telling us the history of it it, etc., and the track tour was only $3 too! We opted to not tour the museum because really what do I care about cars and racing in a museum-type manner??? Anyway, we visited the gift shop (of course) and then went on our way. On the way to the car, David admitted that it was really neat to see and that the tour was great. He then proceeded to make a statement that he may complain about my adventures but once he's done them, he's usually glad about it. So, at least he can admit it when he is wrong! :)

Soon David will lose a couple of teeth, start wearing a wife beater, and yelling for Dale Jr...or, maybe he already does...
