a short vacation does a body (and mind) good

we decided to take a short vacation and go to indianapolis for a couple of days. after three hours we were there. after we got settled into the hotel we went to garfield park's sunken gardens.

the grounds were very beautiful. olive was impressed. sleepy but impressed.

getting some time in the shade of a tree with daddy.

the happy family.

perfect picture of summer.

after walking around a little olive needed time to settle into a nap.

it was a great afternoon in the gardens. we grabbed some food and headed back to the hotel.

the next morning we had breakfast at the hotel and headed to the reason we came to indianapolis- the indianapolis museum of art. we were so excited to get there!

we had fun walking around the grounds looking at the outdoor sculpture and gardens.



well... most of us did.

once inside olive took a little nap while daniel and i started looking around.



art museums are so soothing :-).

this painting made me think of the love between me and the baby bug.


after a little while olive woke back up. i picked her up and gave her an up close view of the renaissance paintings (the wing we were in).

she was fascinated. she stayed very quiet and just took it all in.

the museum was magnificent and worth the trip.

that night (our last night there) we got dressed up to go out to eat.

phew- how handsome is this guy?

of course we had to get some pics of clover.

she was fully prepared to ham it up as usual.

olive looked beautiful to go out on our dinner date.
she is a little uninterested in this pic.

sweet little lady.

we had the best time on our trip. olive was so well behaved and daniel and i had so much fun. it was just what we needed for a little summer getaway!
