Friday on my way home from work my husband text me to talk about the trip he was going to take to Indianapolis to stay at his mom’s for the weekend so he could go see he’s kid’s first baseball game. I hadn't planned on going because I had stuff to take care and we were in a little tiff. I knew this meant a lot to him and I could tell he was really disappointed I wasn't going so I called his mom up and asked her if she could get me on a flight. She works for the airport so Jason has flight benefits and she gives me buddy passes. She said I could get on but I had to get to the airport ASAP! I had 20mins from the time I got off the bus that takes me to my car to the time I needed to be at the airport! I didn’t even have time to pack a bag! I hauled ass on an almost empty tank of gas and almost got pulled over TWICE for speeding! Finally I made it and me and Jason rushed to get past security! By 5:30pm we were in air! I was amazed at myself for being so spontaneous! All I had was the clothes I was wearing and my purse! His mom assured me I could borrow her clothes and everything else I could buy!
We got to Indy around 8:30ish so his mom decided to take us to dinner. We went to this great little bar called Sahm’s. This place was cool because their menu was different then most other places especially for a bar! The food was fabulous (except for the margarita) after that we went back to his mom’s place and pretty much passed out.
We had to be up by 6:30 the next morning to make the 2 ½ hour drive to Kentucky to see Jason’s kids. Of course we got lost on the way and it took us until 11am to get there!! Unfortunately that meant we had just missed Bell’s soccer game but Neiko’s was suppose to just be starting. Come to find out however they pushed his game back to 1pm. This worked out pretty well. We were able to watch Neiko practice for awhile and Jason even got to throw the ball around with him!
I have to tell you, I saw Isabella first and called her over to me. She gave me a surprised look and jumped in my arms. I was talking to her about her game and as I did I turned so she could see her dad. I guess she didn’t realize that if I was there that meant Jason would be there also. As soon as I pointed him out to her she jumped down and ran through the field calling “Daddy, daddy, daddy!!” it was like a scene from a movie! You know the one where two people run slow motion thought a field to each other’s arms! So stinking sweet!! That man is an AMAZING father!!!
After a delay from the previous game they were finally ready to start around 1:45pm!! They lost horribly but nothing could be better than getting to spend time with the kids!!
We didn’t get to stay long because we were both worn out from the flying (and playing kickball the night before) so we headed back to his mom’s house not knowing if we were going to get lost again.
Thankfully we didn’t and we ended up back in Indianapolis with enough time to go see Jason’s nephew who is in the hospital. The poor kid has been in and out since he was born. He has a lot of defects and needs heart surgery. He was born the day after our wedding and this was our first time seeing him!! He is soo cute!!! I just wanted to cuddle him!! I didn’t because he was hooked up to all these wires and tubes and it’s been some time since I’ve held a little one.
Look at that sweet face!!!
He looks sooo sleepy
After the hospital Jason’s mom took us to a cute little Greek restaurant near downtown. The food was excellent and I really enjoyed seeing downtown. We hope to go back soon so we can explore the town a little more. The houses and the architect of the buildings is really beautiful. Since it was an impromptu trip I was without my camera the whole time : (
We went to bed early again so we could be up at 5:30 to get back to the airport. Thankfully we made all of our flights and were back in Charleston by 11am!! Since we still had the whole day (and was able to nap on the plane) we decided to go downtown Charleston to walk the Market! The air show was this weekend so downtown was PACKED!! I love walking the market. It’s so neat to see all the different things people are able to make!! I bought a few things and my wonderful husband ended up buying me a pair of D & G sunglasses!!! SCORE!!!
All in all it was a wonderful weekend and exactly what we needed! I’m glad I didn’t let my instinct to plan get in the way of having a great time! This coming weekend is our one year anniversary! I can’t believe its been a year already!! I can’t say what we might be getting into…ill save it for another blog ;-)
Til then
God Bless

Sounds like you had a fun trip! Some of the best trips are unplanned ones, I think!
