Mr. Gee,

In Indianapolis, I suggest that you check out the Indianapolis Museum of Art, particularly the Asian art collection. Tod Teramoto, the Asian Art curator, has assembled an impressive collection. Also, I recommend Oakley's Bistro, an excellent restaurant on the northwest side of the city.

A couple more activities to add to Anna and your "to do list"...

1. Melting Pot (unique fondue experience....not to rival Switzerland...but cool)
2. Scuba Lessons (contact me for providers...Rachel just got her certification and it is a great hobby for your travels!)
3. Indianapolis Adventure Racing (several groups do "adventure races".....I did the Indy Urban Adventure race this summer....very cool - chk my facebook for photos)
4. College sports (in any other year, I'd recommend IU...but they are lackluster this year...Purdue or Notre Dame are a quick drive away for basketball or football)
5. Mama Corolla's - EXCELLENT Italian restaurant in Broadripple with a quaint but trendy vibe
6. Weekend trip to Chicago (3 hours north....fun weekend getaway....when it gets warmer)
7. Indiana Dunes State Park (on lake michigan)
8. Hiking at Turkey Run State Park (good and scenic hiking)...again when it gets warmer
