Whadyathink?

[akashiver]

I have access to a car this weekend. A car! So on Saturday I have to go and do something megafun & road-trippy. The question is, what?

So far I've been thinking about going to the Indy art museum, or the outlet malls, or whatever Tiebetan monasteries they have around here. What would you recommend, O B-towners?

(And once I decide you are all welcome to come along on whatever adventure I embark on.)

Dunno, I haven't left Bton myself much.

There's dim sum in Indy. And an Indian man in the SF group says the only good Indian food around is up there. And Trader Joe's. And a zoo, though rain.

I don't know if you've seen the wacky architecture of Columbus, IN.

Or there's the game of "what's the smallest town we can find and how glad will we feel that we're not living there?"

The outlet mall in Edinburgh is...ok. I wouldn't waste an awesome car weekend on them, although if you really needed to shop, you could do that and Columbus in the same day. But there's no place to eat out there, which has stymied me on many a day.

Indy would be good--get some nice food, see some art. The IMA has an Egyptian exhibit of stuff on loan from...somewhere, if that interests you. Also the big cemetery up there, which I haven't been to yet, is cool. John Dillinger and some other notables are buried there.

*perks up*

Did someone say Egyptian exhibit? I'm always up for seeing Egyptian stuff...

Hubby and I are taking good buddy to see the "To Live Forever" exhibit in Indy - http://www.imamuseum.org/exhibitions/toliveforever/. You could also try driving to Nashville. And yes, visit the monastaries!!!

The Indy Art Museum is pretty nice, and there are some other museums in Indy that aren't bad. You could also go to Louisville in Kentucky, not sure what's there. If you haven't been to Nashville (Indiana), that's another possibility, it's pretty nice, and you could probably swing by the monastery on the way, they are in the same general direction...if you like hiking you could go out Lake Monroe way and do some of that...if you wanted to be really REALLY adventurous, you could drive to Chicago or Columbus, they're both around 4 hours away...

If you've got some money (and who doesn't?) and some time (and who doesn't) you could even brave the wilds of the north and sneak around Chicago. I don't really know what all's up there, but Moon is a passionate proponent of the town, it's locales and even anything that might rhyme or sound like Chicgo (embargo, key largo, the movie Go, the eastern strategy game, etc.).

P.S. Due to class schedule mix ups I'm actually taking a 300 level english course on British romantic literature. We've already gone over a very rough key points to the style kind of thing and I'm a bit excited. Apparently Wordsworth is big.
