Friday · 5pm – 6pm
Indianapolis Indians Baseball Game
Grab a hot dog, a nice cold beer and enjoy the game. There’s a nice view of downtown from the field
Friday · 6pm – 8pm
Indianapolis Mini Marathon
I ran to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and around the city for a half marathon in a grand total of 3:26:57. I’m not the best runner but I couldn’t pass the opportunity to run on the speedway and kiss the bricks
Saturday · 8am-12pm
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Running on the speedway is a crazy experience that I would recommend. I hope to someday go back and watch the Indy cars race on the same place I got to run
Saturday · Ran Through
Lucas Oil Stadium
I went to a concert with George Strait, Chris Stapleton, and Little Big Town. If you a country music fan you understand how big those names are and they certainly held up to their names. The concert was amazing
Saturday · 5pm-11pm
Soldiers and Sailors Monument
The iconic Indianapolis landmark is a stunning work of art to commemorate Civil War veterans. When walking around downtown you can’t miss it
Sunday · Morning
Indiana Statehouse
The building is an architectural wonder with the green roof and limestone exterior

Take a break from the concrete of the city and stroll around the urban green space. Take a seat and enjoy the views of the city on one of the benches
