Labor Day in Indiana • 01.12.10
Well…this is certainly a case of better late than never. A post that should have happened months back never did. I started and stopped writing it several times but never finished. So in lieu of keeping it perpetually updated and eventually posted, here it is:
Labor Day weekend was fantastic. The family, all six of us, took a road trip to Indiana. Specifically the greater Indianapolis area. I wanted to introduce Carol, Isaac, Jacob and even Violet to my grandfather, aunts and uncles, cousins and the various kids they have all produced or acquired. I also wanted a chance to show Carol around the areas that I grew up. In all cases, and in contrast to the Bush definition of such, the trip was a “mission accomplished”.
The trip was indeed fantastic, regardless of how many months ago it might have been. We were able to visit most of not all of my family, the Indianapolis Zoo, the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis (the Atlanta version could learn a great deal from this place), eat ice cream from Mrs. Curls, and inhale a particular northern culinary delicacy – The White Castle.
