We had a nice Saturday

We have to make the most of our Saturdays because I am gone all week and Sundays are devoted to church and Colts/Bears games.

Saturday we woke up and went over to Sahm park to play disc golf. This is the second time we have played this summer. I taught Beth sometime in August and she has picked it up pretty quickly. It helps that I taught her how to throw a disc a few years ago. We played 9 holes and I won, but that is understandable. We don't really compete in disc golf because I have such a clear advantage. Tennis is another story, and I am not proud to say that Beth is ahead in the series for tennis matches. I think last time I double-faulted about 10 times.

In the afternoon we drove downtown to the White River State Park. This is where the Indiana State Museum, the Indianapolis Zoo, and a bunch of other stuff is at. It is also only a few blocks from the circle so there is always shopping and food nearby. We wanted to see the canal so we walked up and down the length of it and saw the different murals and waterfalls and art along the way. We will definitely have to go back for the zoo and the museum later.

After that we walked into the center of the city to look for food. Two lessons were learned. The first is that if you see a restaurant that has a short wait in downtown on a Saturday night, just eat there. Don't even bother seeing what else there is. We walked by Weber Grill and it looked fairly open. But we walked a few more streets and about 35 minutes later we came back and they had a 90+ minute wait. The second lesson is that Buca di Beppo is a huge restaurant and they rarely have a wait for a party of 2. I asked and the waiter told us that they are the second largest Buca in the country. We were table 82 or something. Then Culver's for frozen custard action. Mmmhmmm.

Sunday: Church was awesome as usual. Ted came with us today and he came over for lunch afterward. Haven't seen him since the wedding.

Bears.... make me cry. Colts should be able to brighten the day later.
