Ok, these next few posts are completely out of order, but I feel ok about that.
In May I went on a trip to Indianapolis, IN for the Annual American Backflow Prevention Conference. Exciting, I know. You're super intersted in hearing all about the advances in laws and regulations and everything but you'll have to ask me about it later.
Although I have plenty of pictures of not at the conference, these were all on one day when I finally had a break from some meetings. No one even knew I was gone....
Ok so, first here is the view from my hotel room, there was a great little lake/pond behind the hotel. We walked around it later that week and there were a million little turtles in it, I had no idea. It was great.
On my, "day off" from meetings and conference sessions I decided to go see everything I could find. Luckily I found it, even if it wasn't intentional. First I went to the Indianapolis Speedway. It was awesome, it was the Sunday before the Indy 500 so they were doing qualification and practice runs, it was awesome. I didn't mean to actually go watch them but I followed some cars in and ended up there. In a skirt, on a very windy day, but it was worth it.
This is me at the track with the leader board in the background.
Here is the Pagoda.
And the famous Yard of Bricks....(the finish line)
And of course, my favorite. The giant water tank a mile or so away from the track. We don't have enough above ground tanks in Utah.
So that was the track. I bought a ginormous sweatshirt to tie around my waist to keep my skirt down, and a shot glass, but as soon as I got home they were snatched up by other people.
After the track I went to the art museum, it was really good.
After that I went to a movie and met someone I think I must have already known, but thats probably more of a sentimental sunday post. Maybe my next one.
I got back to the conference just in time for the welcoming party and everyone was super jealous of my day while they had to sit through a board meeting. =) It pays not to be too involved. =) Anyway it was a really really good trip, I loved Indy, it can go on my list with water, hotdogs, and chicago, but not sugar, because thats a whole other level. ;)
