Posted October 28, 200717 yr Well, I'm back from my week long venture to Indianapolis, Indiana...and let me say I'm exhausted. It was one heck of a time. I'm going to take a little bit of time to outline what went on daily. There's a fairly decent list lol. Monday - Leave at 6:30 AM to Waterloo, Iowa. After driving a large amount of hours we finally arrive in Waterloo. This is one of the least eventful days of the trip...it was mostly spent driving. Tuesday - Went for a tour of the John Deere Assembly Line Plant in Waterloo. This is the place where John Deere assembles their tractors and other pieces of equipment. Not a bad time...pretty interesting to see these things put together. Left Waterloo around noon and arrived in Indy around 9 PM EST. Basically got our hotel rooms and waited for the next day. Wednesday - Spent most of the day at the RCA Dome, Convention Center, and mall since all 3 are close to each other. Basically went and did things convention related that day. Thursday - Longest day of the week. Woke up at 5:15AM in order to catch buses to the place that our contest was held at. The Dairy Foods contest started at 8:30 AM and didn't get over until 1 PM. Later that night, I was fortunate enough to have boughten a ticket to see The Beach Boys w/ John Stamos at the RCA Dome that night. It was an awesome concert. Friday - Not a whole lot happened during the day. We went to Xtreme Bulls at 9 PM. This was a rodeo sponsored by Dodge that had the 40 best bull riders in the world compete. It was pretty good, and I'm not the biggest rodeo fan. Saturday - Had what was called an "Awards Breakfast" at 8:30 AM. There we were fed and the awards for our contest were announced. I can not remember my individual placing, but our team placed 15th out of 33 other state winning teams...so we did pretty well. After the breakfast, we loaded up and left for Rogers, MN where we would stay the night. We got to drive by Chicago and see the skyline of the skyscrapers. That was pretty nifty. Sunday (today) - Left Rogers, MN at 7 AM, drove, stopped a few times here and there, and arrived back home around 4 PM. Glad to be back lol. Well...that was an outline of what I did this week while I was gone. If you read all that...I'm impressed lol. I don't know why I wanted to type all this, but I just felt like it.
October 29, 200717 yr Seems interesting to say the least ...not a dull moment (except for the drive of course). Nice to see you made it back safely.
