Finally some spring in our steps

It has been a long winter here in Indy, so we are happy to now have it warm enough (50 degrees) to walk outside. On Sunday we went downtown to walk by the canal. It was a rainy day but at least we could feel spring in the air. It won't be long before the cherry blossoms, tulips, and daffodils are in bloom, and we sure are looking forward to that.

The rain in spain stays mainly in the plains

Our latest Chicago adventure brought us to My Fair Lady, where we learned about the rain in Spain, and that with a little bit of luck you can get away with just about anything. After talking with our friends, Ryan Pini and Travis Edwards, Mark has decided that for repayment of his musical lesson he gets to go to a Cubs game this year. So we will have to see if that pans out for him...

We stayed at a pet friendly hotel downtown and were able to walk to the show and the park by the lake. Our only problem was when a power hungry park employee came and said they would not allow our dogs to walk in the park (even on a leash), and we would have to pick them up and vacate the park. I guess there are some pretty strict rules at public parks these days.

Goin' to Zion

For spring break entertainment in St. George we decided to lay down the Benjamins (25 big ones) and visit one of our Nation's treasures... Zion. We both forgot how amazing it is to actually have mountains around. We spent the afternoon walking the trail head to the begining of the famous Zion narrows, and as you can see we played photographer on the way. When we got out of the car the weather was a little chilly, and Carolanne decided she had bragging rights because she was the only one who was prepared with a sweatshirt. She thought she was hot stuff. It turned out, she was hot stuff: once we were two steps into our walk, off came the sweatshirt she was so happy to be carrying the rest of our hike. Of course, it all ended too soon and we found ourselves back in snow-covered Indy the following week.
