FRIDAY FAVORITES...INDY EDITION

I am still coming off a great trip with my mama to Charleston. It was a gift from her for my birthday. I will share all about that fabulous trip and our first visit there next week. Prior to the trip, we had some great fam time in Indy. My favorites today are some great Indianapolis spots and the fun we had.


Bottleworks Hotel

Such a piece of history! This Hotel is the old Coca-Cola bottling company that was the largest Coca-Cola bottling plant in the world! The architecture is stunning, and they have restored as much as possible for one of Indianapolis’s newest and coolest hotels! This whole area is now known as the Bottleworks District, and the entire area is being revitalized. They have everything from a food court called the Garage to a movie theater and they are adding all kinds of restaurants! You may have seen a while back when we went to PINS,

A duckpin bowling and entertainment establishment. We plan on going back to this area this Summer.




Hotel helping me Celebrate all month long, lol

All the doors are Coca Cola Red

 

Fountain Square

We had only ever really been downtown Indy but on the outskirts, there are some little districts like I told you about the Bottleworks area that are amazing and one of those is Fountain Square! We had tacos at an amazing little Mexican restaurant, shopped some plant stores for the girls, a vinyl record shop, some vintage resale and sat in the middle of the highway on stadium chairs that someone had put there, so unusual.




Cake Bake Shop

As you know, I got lucky enough to go to the Cake Bake Shop with my dear friend Kellyann in February. One of the boys’ girlfriends and I share birthdays two days apart, so she made reservations for us to keep on celebrating on Good Friday. Such a lovely time, wonderful food, fabulous desserts and best of all sweet company and such a gorgeous environment.


My Dress HERE (LOVED IT)







Breakfast-n-Blooms

WOW! The crabapples were in full bloom down there and I was tickled “pink” to see these and snap this pic on our walk to breakfast. This  means it won’t be long until they’re in bloom here.



Vionic Shoes

Mr. Nine and I had she fun with our newest Vionic Shoes. They were the perfect pairs for walking around Indy. One of the boy’s girlfriends shot some pics in the Hotel and they turned it so cute! Mr. Nine in his Lucas Sneakers and me in my Thrive MuleI loved mine so much that I wore them for the recent flights too.

Moving

And a bit of bittersweet involved in this post, these two are moving to Baltimore, Maryland in a few weeks. This girl is going to complete her 2 year Pharmacy residency at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and our son was lucky enough to get transferred from his Amazon management job to a Baltimore location as well! This was our last hurrah in Indianapolis with us all for a while. Going to miss these kids so much! You know I’ve already been researching things to do in Baltimore, lol!


And a Pic at Check out of course


Have a great weekend friends! Going to get my ferns today. It is going to be 84° here tomorrow but don’t get too excited, back in the 30s next week…. what up Indiana weather?

  12. Well this just looks like so much fun! And all the pics with your family are precious. So excting about the move...but I know it tugs at your heart just a little. I will say, I honestly think being able to go visit and have that dedicated time together may trump having them in the same time and having to fight for their attention haha
