We kinda had to multi-task for Josh's spring break this year. He had to go to a Dr. apt. in Indianapolis (about the running injury he's been having) so we decided to make a little trip of it. Besides Millie taking 3 hours to go to sleep each night and waking up 3-5 times during the night we had alot of fun!
We stopped in Nashville on our way up to meet some friends at a DELICIOUS place called the Pancake Pantry. I got pecan pancakes with cinnamon syrup and josh got sweet potatoe pancakes with carmel syrup. Try it if you're in the area.
We love chocolate (naturally) so we looked up some places and heard about a store/factory called, "The Best Chocolate in Town" it was SO AMAZING! they had a cute little shop where you could watch the confectioners making truffels, and they had amazing flavors like: Asian spice, wasabi ginger, cinnamon basil, amaretto, malt ball, cheesecake, and even one with gouda cheese. I got the Cinnamon basil and had to savor every bite- strange combination but tasted just like christmas would taste if it were a flavor!

Next we hit a local toy store. A place I would have gone nuts over when I was a kid! all the nice toy brands like kathe kruse (german toy maker) and those bears that stephanie from full house had etc. (Kelly- you would have DIED.) oh to have a store like that near me... We had to pick up this amazing little guy for millie (made out of material like a ball, so he's bouncy and fun) I couldn't resist this kathe kruse tooth fairy doll. (I use to collect dolls when I was little, I think i'll take it up again!)
We had to hit the local spaghetti fac.- I have a goal of visiting ALL locations. (love their creamy pest, vinagrette, and spamoni!)
We also went shoping at H&M. Lucky me because Josh is always encouraging me to get what ever I want and to go shopping etc? (crazy huh?)
Indy has a GREAT childrens museam that just happened to be free the afternoon that we visited it. Millie of course didn't want to leave... neither did I for that matter. 4 LARGE levels of different exibits.
we couldn't get millie away from the dino exibit! must get that from Grandpa C.
Ceeling in the basement was filled with different blown glass containers- you could lay back on this revolving chair thing and gaze.

I hope the question mark above Millie's head is not an indication of things to come. Once she is past the age 5 she better stop talking about doll's and Barbie's and be ready to talk politics with me. That confused look will not fly.
i miss trips. i love everything about this trip and the fairy doll and other wierd toy are so cute. and breakfast and cholocate and kids museums and cute millie.
Looks like you guys had tons of fun! That's too bad about Josh's leg and I'm sorry about Millie's sleep during the trip. That's the worst when you are so tired and once you finally get to sleep they wake up again! I feel for you!
Fun fun! (Minus the sleeping difficulties - babies are no fun with traveling sleep plans)
Wow that looks like such fun! I love the spaghetti factory. Spumoni is divine. Ever been to the one in Seattle? That's where I grew up so it's pretty much the only one I've been to.
LOVE the Indy Children's Museum! My bro and his wife lived there and had free guest passes. They took us whenever we visited. Wish we had something like that closer to where we live.
Did you know that we lived outside of Indianapolis! I liked it there. I am glad that you did too! She is so cute!
