Great Weekend!

What a great weekend!  We left Friday morning for Indianapolis, Indiana.  The ride went well.  We didn't run into to very much traffic.  We found our hotel and wow it was gorious!  Each room had it's own refrigerator, stove top, sink and dishwasher and TV and couch that turned into a bed.  The other room  had two queen beds and a  TV and desk.  Our second suite was across the hall. 

Friday night we went out to eat after we got settled in.  Downtown Indianapolis had a party  that night.  Christmas tree lights.  There was some kind of lighting ceremony  put on where a lot, lot of people came. It was the night they turn on the large Christmas tree and we were there to see the lights go on!!

We saw the Christmas tree lights go on.

Went out to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe Friday night.

Then we went home and went swimming for a little while.  We stayed up talking and finally we went to bed.

On Saturday we got up and walked to the middle of downtown to see the Christmas tree in the day light and to see all the other sights.

We took an elevator up twenty four floor of the monument and this is what we saw. You could do the steps, all 331 of them or for $2 take the elevtor.  We did find out that there were still 3 flights of very narrow stairs to do when we got to the top.  That kind of tired Matt out.

Then we went shopping at the Mall downtown and ate a late lunch at.......

We had a good lunch!

Then Matt went back to get a quick nap before we had to go to the Jeff Dunham show.  We had to get to the show early to pick up our passes to be

able to meet Jeff after the show. 

A friend from my work was able to contact Jeff's Dunham's manager and he said he normally doesn't do meet and greets but he would do it for

Matt.  We got to the show and got our passes so we can meet Jeff Dunham after the show.  We found our seats.  Our seats were on the floor, second row!

They were great seats!! Jeff Dunham put on a really good show.  We were

laughing so hard our cheeks were hurting.  When the show was over we

waited to meet Jeff.  Here are some pictures.

Here is Mike, Matt and Nate standing in front of the stage.

The show started at 8:00 and it finished close to 10:30.  Then we went and met Jeff so we didn't get back to our hotel until 11:00.  Our hotel was one block away from the field house so we were able walk to the show.

It was a great weekend!!  The ride home was long and it rain all the way home.

I am so thankful that the weather was in the 60's the whole weekend so we were able to walk every where we went. It was a great week seeing all the family for thanksgiving and then spending time with the family in Indiana!!

Thank you, thank you to everyone for all your continued thoughts and prayers for Matthew!
