SpUR of thE MOmeNT GEtAwaY!



After much debate, Jeff and I decided to spend our fall break weekend in Indianapolis. We had such a good time being away from school and spending time with each other. The highlight of our weekend was the Colts game. Wow...I've never been anywhere so loud in my life. (I think I plugged my ears for the first 5 minutes until everyone settled down a bit) They blew Tampa Bay away, but we are glad to say we have been to an NFL game! We stayed in a four star hotel, it was beautiful and thanks to price line, pretty cheap too. We both found ourselves reading a lot; Jeff is reading a fantasy book about Dragons and Demons and I read Twilight. It was so nice to relax in our room and read. The fair we went to was a lot like Huber farms, we had fun tasting apples and searching for rare pumpkins. Our hayride and listening to a county band made for a fun afternoon. We walked around the city alot and enjoyed seeing all the sites and cool restaurants. I've never been to such a stinky city, every time we walked past a sewer manhole there was warm air and a stench. It was a hot weekend downtown, adding to the stink. Now I know why in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the people thought those holes were gross. Overall, it was a fun weekend getaway that we both needed.
