Big Four Bridge

On a recent February day in Southern Indiana, the weather was AWESOME and we headed down to the Big Four Bridge across the Ohio River from Jeffersonville, IN to Louisville, KY.  We started walking the pedestrian bridge on the Indiana side along with many others that were enjoying the mild weather.  The bridge was well maintained, large enough to accommodate the crowd and the views of the river and the city were exciting to the kids.  We walked to the point where the Kentucky ramp begins and turned around.  When we returned, the kids played on the playground near the entrance to the ramp. 


The recent installation of LED lights make the bridge something to see at night.  In the summer, this would be a great outing with kids, on a date or with family visiting from out of town.  Many great restaurants, ice cream shops and stores are popping up within walking distance from the bridge.  Dogs are not allowed, but bicycles and strollers are.  Overall, it is a great, unique and FREE activity!

Children's Museum of Indianapolis - December 2014

Recently, our family traveled to Indianapolis to visit one of our favorite destinations -  The Children's Museum of Indianapolis!  The museum provided us with a day full of great indoor activities.  The Christmas displays, including an indoor slide, were festive and fun.  Even Bumblebee was dressed for colder weather. 

My two boys enjoyed the touch screen displays and excavation site at Dinosphere, the trains, "ice fishing" in the holiday themed area and the new Playscape area.    We are excited about future exhibits, including Transformers: Robots in Disguise (March 7 - July 26, 2015) and Hot Wheels: Race to Win (May 9 - August 16, 2015).
