We visited the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis today and I was blown away by the sports activities they had outdoors. Tons of opportunities for kids(and parents) to engage in sports stuff.

Artwork on the side of The Holy Goat in Louisville, KY.
Fun Brandy Tour today at Copper & Kings distillery. It was interesting to see how different a distillery is from a brewery.
Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory
We went to the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory today. Learned that it takes 47 seconds for a computer to lathe a professional bat. And the many batters have custom specifications that their bats are made to. Very cool place.
Churchill Downs Tour
We visited Churchill Downs today and took the Superstars & Spires Tour. The history of the race, the venue, and the horses. It made me want to go to the Kentucky Derby someday! 🏇
Just bought tickets to see the new Dune on Thursday when we are staying in Indianapolis. I’m super excited to see it. The whole family is going.
