Anniversary Day 2- Zoo!

On our second day we went to the zoo! It was a beautiful day 70 degrees. We packed a lunch after breakfast and were on our way. This Zoo had a dolphin show that I really wanted to go to but it was like $10 bucks per person or something however they gave us tickets to the 2pm show for free! I was ecstatic! The first thing we saw was the aquarium. They had a touch pool of nurse sharks! they felt cool and smooth.

One Year Anniversary!

For our anniversary Kevin and I went to Indianapolis. Originally it was supposed to be Chicago but we didnt feel we had enough days off to go that far. We left work at 7:30 on Friday night and got a quick Wendy's dinner. Kevin drove the three hours and we arrived at Drury Inn at 11pm. We love the Drury because we get a free breakfast of waffles, eggs and sausage, muffins and juice and free dinner/snack of chicken fingers, baked potatoes, nachos, hot dogs and salad. Plus free soda too! So we only had to take car of lunch!


The first day we went to a mall in the middle of the city. It had 4 floors and was pretty cool. there was a music garden where live music played and had great views of the city. We had subway for lunch and decided to leave and go check out a monument

Monument was the center of the city

Kevin pretending to drool like the buffalo head fountain

 then we went thru a museum under the monument commemorating the "hoosiers" that fought in civil war.

After our exercise climbing the stairs we relaxed at this cafe i got ice cream and kevin got a cookie

 After the monument we went to a park about 2 min away to rest and relax.

we ran into a canal that ran thru the city that i wanted to see. you could rent a paddle boat to go thru it!

I loved this tree we laid out a blanket under it and Kevin read and I took pictures of the fall colors

he is a seducer! lol!

lovely scenery

you could rent a 4 person peddle bike to take around the city first time ive seen these but its a good idea

messing around

love him!

i love fall!

he was not a shy squirrel came within 2 feet of us!

silly!

 After resting in the park we went for a walk around the museum and had an encounter...!

I was getting eaten by a mammoth!

Then Kevin protected me with his Karate Kid moves!

Then we became friends...the end.

Then we decided to head back to the hotel we ordered pizza in tho to keep with tradition of our first night together a year ago for dinner. Then we indulged in the cable tv since we dont have it at home. We watched HGTV and TLC the most. The Next day was the Zoo!
