Indianapolis 500 Festival Parade

Last year, we headed to Indianapolis for the 500 Festival Parade. Though, it was a little drizzly, it didn’t stay that way for long. Having two boys that love vehicles, it was a great parade for them.

Characters galore…

Celebrities, drivers, football players, and more…

And I’m pretty sure I’m the only dork who stood up and waved to Anderson Cooper…the rest of the people seemed to not even know who he was? How is that possible…

Will you be going to this year’s parade?

Staycation Fun in Indianapolis

Staycations aka vacation in your own state or area, has gained popularity over the past few years. This year will be no exception with the expensive gas prices around the country. Today, I’m going to share some of my favorite places to “Staycation” in the Indianapolis area. If you aren’t local to Indianapolis, don’t worry as I will be sharing links to other “Staycations” areas tomorrow including locations that are close to Indianapolis like Dayton and Cincinnati, OH.

I’ll be sharing quite a few of our favorite places. However, the top two that always come to my kid’s mind are the Indianapolis Children’s Museum and the Indianapolis Zoo. I’ll be updating this list all summer long so you may want to bookmark this “Staycation Fun in Indianapolis” page for easy access.
