Today was really the beginning of the holiday weekend for us, since
the husband had to work until 7am. I let him sleep until about 2pm and
then we headed to Indy, where the Labor Fest activities were going on.
On the way we stopped at one of our friends homes. They are originally
from the Cleveland area, but work at Rolls-Royce in Indy. My husband
used to work with them and found a really great set of friends. In
fact, he lived with the husband's parents in Cleveland until he found a
house for us to live in. The couple had a son about three weeks before
Walker was born, so another similarity was "born". Swinging by to say
hello to them and celebrate the 1st birthday of their son was a good
reminder that we aren't the only ones juggling two careers and
children. I guess one of our big differences now is that they are
trying to get back to Cleveland, and we are already home.
After
leaving our friends' house, we headed to downtown Indy, where Georgia
Street had been blocked off for Labor Fest. Instead of doing a Labor
Parade, they just set up tents and had food and activities in the area
that was created for the Super Bowl two years ago. We had just eaten
and were starting to walk around when it started POURING rain.
That
rain continued into the night, and I got to see the most beautiful
lightning storm that evening from the windows and porch of our house. I
remember sitting outside with my grandparents on nights like the one
tonight, but hadn't really seen that much open sky graced with the
beautiful lasers of light for a long time. It is so great to live in a
place where the landscape allows you to see beautiful sunrises, sunsets,
and lightning shows. The display of stars at night is pretty
incredible too!
