So, unless you live under a rock or something,
you probably knew that the Super Bowl was in Indianapolis this year.
I never knew there were so many festivities leading up to Super Bowl Sunday.
It was like 10 days of craziness downtown.
We went down the Friday before the game to check it out.
The weather could not have been better.
Unseasonal highs.
Like in the 50's.
In February.
Unheard of.
Great weather for strolling around with a 10 month old!

I've seen pictures of the Roman numerals at night.
They were all lit up and stuff.
Way cooler than this, but whatevs.
Super Bowl 46!
Wren is always more interested in looking at the people rather than the camera.
Georgia Street was converted into a pedestrian only street.
Zip line!
We did NOT wait in line to ride.
It was a huge hit for the city, though!
Wren looking out for celebrities.
We did see Jordin Sparks and Maria Menounos!
We had a great afternoon downtown!
We grabbed lunch at the Coal Pizza Company.
Pizzas baked in 90 seconds in a 900 degree oven.
I had a proscuitto pizza with arugula, melon, and fig balsamic vinegar.
Chris got the tarte flambe pizza with smoked bacon, onion, and gruyère.
They were both so good.
Wren loved them both, too.
Yummmmmmmm.
I want one. Now.
Anyway....
Kathleen and Dina met us downtown after lunch, and we walked around a bit more.
There were so many people downtown!
Concerts, celebrities, the zip line...
We didn't even get to check out everything, but what we saw was pretty cool!
Saturday night....
Chris and I were invited to the Young & Laramore Pre-Super Bowl party downtown.
It was the first time we have been out together since Wren was born!
It felt kinda weird... but it was fun!
Here we are before heading out....
It was nice to get dressed up and (gasp!) put on makeup!
It was wonderful to have a night out together.
But I just kept thinking to myself,
"Oh man, Wren is going to be up by 8:30am regardless of how late we stay out and regardless of how many drinks I have...."
Taking care of a little one while hungover and tired does not sound like a fun time to me.
At all.
So yeah, we were home by 11:30... after only a few drinks.
My, my, my how things have changed. :)
