Both Jim and I grew up watching the Indianapolis 500 race every Memorial Day weekend, so we knew that a visit to Indianapolis would be incomplete without a tour of the speedway. We arrived at the museum that is located on the inside of the track just as it was opening for the day and spent a long time looking at all of the vintage cars through modern day Indy cars that they have on display. Once we were finished in the museum, we took the Brickyard Tour which took us by bus on a lap around the track. We were able to stop and get pictures at the start/finish line. Everything looked so different than what I had envisioned after watching the race for years on TV. We both agreed that we need to come back to experience the race in person!

In the evening, we walked from our downtown hotel to find a place for dinner and then walked several more blocks to see the Soldiers & Sailors Monument. It was beautiful illuminated in patriotic colored lights, but we didn’t stay long because it was freezing cold outside!!
The next day, we drove back to Ann Arbor where we saw Brooke compete again - unfortunately I forgot to get any pictures the second time around. Then we flew home the following day, capping off a fun week in the Midwest.
