COLUMBUS, OH & INDIANAPOLIS, IN

ALL IN ONE WEEKEND

NOVEMBER, 2010

 

I'm back again with another weekend road trip that we took back in 2010.  This was an event filled weekend that we had and we loved every second of it!  Creag's Birthday is October 29th, so for his birthday that year I had bought 2 tickets to see the Columbus Blue Jackets.  He had never been to a professional hockey game before, and neither had I so it was a first for us both.  When I bought these tickets, I didn't know that he had also bought 2 tickets to see Zac Brown in Indy the same weekend, different day! 

 

We drove up to Columbus on Saturday afternoon, checked into our hotel & then walked around a bit.  Columbus is a big college town & their Arena District is awesome!  We stopped in a few bars before we went to the game & the atmosphere was great.  Jam packed with tons of Blue Jackets fans, that's for sure.  I don't remember a ton of details about the game.  One of the things I do remember is walking around to find food & buying chocolate covered strawberries:)  Yum!  After the game, we went back to our hotel & spent some time in the lounge & ordered a slice of caramel cheesecake to take back to the room.  We got back to the room & our heat was not working in the room so they had someone come up to take a look.  I wanted to eat that cheesecake so bad & was a little tipsy so I remember asking Creag to please make him leave!  HA Don't mess w/ a woman & her dessert, I guess lol!  That piece of cheesecake was the best cheesecake I've EVER had...we even tried to get it again the next time we went back to Columbus!

 

 

The next morning, we checked out and headed straight to Indy for the Zac Brown Concert.  It was our second time seeing him.  The first time, he opened for Dave Matthews.  He put on an amazing show, of course!  We both absolutely love Zac Brown.  He is so humble & an amazing singer.  After the concert, I had my first Dueling Piano Bar experience & loved it!  It was so much fun, and I still love going to them to this day. 

With that busy of a weekend, I'm surprised we pulled it off without being completely exhausted at the end, but we did it.  I love, love, love road trips.  Getting away for the weekend is the best feeling and doing it with someone you love makes it even better!!
