Today was beautiful!  Blue sky, sunny, and warmish.  To make it even better, Eric was post call and actually got home early.  We felt the need to rush out the door and soak up the day. 
 
 The zoo sounded just perfect.  So we gathered our things and headed downtown; only to get to the zoo and realize that it isn't open on Mondays during the winter.
 
Strike one.
 
The Children's Museum was our next option, but luckily before we drove all the way there I remembered that it isn't open on Mondays during the winter either.
 
Strike two!
 
So, we decided to just get out of the car and wander.
We couldn't waste this sunshine!
 
We ended up at the state capitol building and took a little self-guided tour.
The boys actually really liked it.
The building was bustling with action and is quite pretty.
 
We probably won't run back for another visit, but hey, it was an adventure of sorts.
 
 


Downtown Indy is a busy place this week.
The NFL combine is going on here and supposedly there are big wig football people all over the place.
To continue our adventurous afternoon, we were riding up and down the mall escalators with the boys when we practically ran into these guys:
 


 
I knew they looked familiar and Eric was quick to identify them as Rex and Rob Ryan; two big wig football people.  Kind of fun.
 
To end our downtown adventure we got to eat dinner with Andy Speyer.  Andy is married to my cousin, Lynette, and is a scout for the Philadelphia Eagles. 
It was fun to catch up and hear a little more about the combine.  I just wish that Lynette could have joined us!
