Anniversary weekend in Indy

July 24th 2010 was our 11 year anniversary. Just doesn't seem possible that we have been married that long! We decided to go to Indianapolis for the weekend. The boys went to stay with Grandma & Grandpa K. for the weekend. (Thank you very much!!!)

We had asked my sister and brother-in-law; Tricia and Justin, if they would want to go to a Jack Johnson concert with us. We all went to that Friday evening. It was at Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville, an outdoor amphitheater. We had a great time listening to Jack's music, trying to stay cool (it was so hot!) and enjoying a thunder/lightning storm. Chad said I shouldn't bring the camera that night...maybe he took some photos with his phone...hmmm

We got home late, slept in til 9:00am. When is the last time we did that??? I do not know! We spent the day with Tric & Justin. For lunch we had this great Arugula pesto pizza. It was a joint effort between the 4 of us. Tric & I worked on the crust, making the arugula pesto, and chopping the tomatoes and peppers.

Chad and Justin did the grilling of the crust

and putting all the toppings together on the crust.

It was quite tasty and very pretty too!
(so annoyed that blogger isn't posting this how I want it!)

Buddy the dog hung out in the kitchen with us. He is very photogenic. :)

Had to get a picture of my sister and I.

A case of the giggles.

Chad & I on our anniversary, July 24th 2010. 11 years.

That night we decided to make the most of it and stay at a hotel in downtown Indianapolis. We booked through Priceline for the first time, not a bad deal! We stayed at the Marriot. We headed out to dinner at Ruth's Chris. (you must order a fillet and sweet potato casserole!!) This is Chad's favorite steakhouse. It is rather expensive. Chad mentioned while eating there that if our current home town ever got a Ruth's Chris, that we could be in trouble. I assured him that he didn't need to worry about that happening! Chad first ate at one during his residency when he was in San Antonio TX for a review course with his fellow residents. He is hooked and it is always fun to meet up with those guys/gals and go to Ruth's Chris.

Sunday we slept in again and then met up with Tric & Justin & Justin's cousin & business partner Tom. (have you heard of Indie Bike? check it out!) We ate at a great little cafe called The Taste for brunch. Yum, I am salivating just thinking of it. I wish we had a restaurant like that in town!!

We headed back to O-H-I-O to pick up our boys. So fun to see them again after 48+ hours apart! And so great to celebrate with a weekend away!

(and now since it is 1:45 I will attempt this sleeping thing again. two little boys will be in our room way too early for me I have a feeling.)
