My parents moved to FountainWood Lodge, an assisted living residence and one week later I hopped on a plane to visit my husband’s family now living in Indianapolis. I purchased five tickets a couple of months ago for my husband David,
son Joshua,
grandson Lincoln,
and granddaughter Alyssa.
I’m the one taking the photographs.
My niece Sarah was coming from New York, her brother Gabriel arrived from Boulder, and brother-in-law Joe came from Florida.
The rest of the family lives in Indianapolis.
Family keeps moving around. Can’t seem to keep track of where everyone lives. Thought Joe was living in Chicago, and it turns out he is in Florida. Our mini reunion in Las Vegas happened 4 years ago. Since then the family has grown by three. There is one more in the oven due in November.
Coming from the California drought, I love how green Indianapolis looks.
Family together, good food, new introductions, memories, old photos to see again, old photos to see for the first time, and relaxing together. I enjoyed capturing the moments.
We visit the family business, Accurate Manufactured Products Group.
Matthew gave us a tour of his factory.
Tour ended when we saw the custom styled mega RV.
On Labor Day we visited Zionsville. Town settled in 1852 when the railroad extended this far west. It was named after a pioneer settler, William Zion. Located outside of Indianapolis. The main street now looks and feels like a village style downtown. Boutiques, art galleries, and locally owned restaurants line the brick street to encourage shopping and tourism. On this Labor Day not too much was open. But on Main Street we did enjoy ice cream at The Scoop.
I placed my digital files on my iPad, and sent along the files right away. Everybody connected to their devices.
Good thing. Because when I got home I started part 2 of the down sizing process. More to come about “Stuff” in another post.
Time for goodbyes.
Until we meet again!
