Kalysa's Bachelorette Weekend


This weekend, we celebrated my gorgeous friend and bride-to-be, Kalysa with a day full of fun activities.  Traci did such a wonderful job planning a bridal shower brunch and then an afternoon and night full of fun activities.  We began with the brunch in Lafayette.  After a delicious brunch, a couple of shower games, and gifts, a group of us then went to Painting with a Twist for our private party.  We painted the cutest little bunch of peonies.  I had so much fun.  It was only my second time participating in a class like this and I have to say, I would definitely be open to doing more.


After we finished up our masterpieces, we all loaded up and made our way to Indianapolis. We checked into our hotel and got ready for dinner and a night out on the town.  Once we were all dress and ready to go, we had a little shower in one of the rooms and just some socializing until time for our dinner reservation.  We had dinner at Harry & Izzy's.  It's such a cute restaurant.  I had never been there before. I had the cucumber gimlet and a turkey burger.  I rarely get turkey burgers but this one was so good. I feel like often times when I get turkey burgers out at restaurants they are a bit dried out and overcooked but this one was perfect.  After dinner we went out on the town and went to two bars.









The next morning I met up with Allison to spend the day with her in Indy.  We grabbed brunch at Sahm's Tavern.  My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach.  We had so much food.  I could only eat about half of my meal.  After brunch we drove up to Holliday Park.  We had been wanting to see the newly open revitalized ruins.  It was such a gorgeous fall day, we ended up going over to Butler to see some of the new buildings on campus as well.  We walked around campus and visited some of Allison's old classroom buildings.  In her time there, I don't think I ever went in any of the classroom buildings with her.








Holliday Park and Nature Center

Yesterday, I went to Indy for the afternoon.  Allison was co-hosting a baby shower for her BFF and needed an extra set of hands to help set up.  They had the shower in the nature center at Holliday Park.  I helped her set up and then I ran a couple of errands - including the all important Flying Cupcake run.  I spent the rest of the time reading outside at the park on a beautiful spring day!

Allison helped throw together a darling French themed bebe shower for Ellie.  So much cuteness.  I only wish I had more pictures to share of the finished product!

Today, Wyatt and I spent the afternoon with his mom to celebrate her birthday which is why the Flying Cupcake visit was so necessary.  Happy Birthday, Nancy!
