Well, it's been over a month since I last posted here and a lot has happened, especially in the month of December. Beyond the obvious (Christmas), I went zip lining with my girlfriend at Rawhide Ranch in Brown County, Indiana. The zip line operator was Team Effect and it was a blast! It was our first time zip lining and we did 7 hops across the ranch. Later that night we spent some walking around the small town of Nashville, Indiana where I made this picture:
The above picture was taken along State Road 135 and shows some of the local shops, their Christmas lights and going through the picture was a large pickup with a lot of lights. A different take on Christmas lights I think. I almost forgot to mention all of this was my birthday weekend. We also stayed overnight at the Brown County Inn. It was a great weekend and I had a lot of fun. After coming back to Indy, we went to the Pacers Fan Jam where this picture was made:
Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2011 Indiana Pacers Pacemates! After the fan jam was over, we went to Monument Circle for a meetup of the Indy Flickr meetup group. Unfortunately only two additional members showed up for the meetup. However, I did get some great shots of the Monument Circle lights and some very different photographs than my previous attempts of the lights. Here is an example:
So, it was a busy weekend and was by far the best birthday weekend I have had. No complaints here. In addition to the weekend in Brown County, we saw the Guns n Roses concert at Conseco. I was a little concerned about how the music would sound with the new lineup ('new' even though most of the 'new' members have been in the lineup for several years), but they delivered in a big way. Close your eyes and all of the classic GNR songs sounded great. I didn't know much about their Chinese Democracy album and wouldn't have recognized the songs if my girlfriend hadn't told me when they were playing. I may post more about the concert later, but suffice to say, a fantastic 2 hour + show! Speaking of Rene, how about a great picture of her?:
We ended up the month with a fun NYE party at her friend's house and thankfully we made it home in one piece!
2012 is shaping up to be a very busy year. Later this month, Rene and I will be volunteering at the NFL Experience for Super Bowl 46 here in Indiana. We also plan on attending as many of the related events as possible, weather and traffic permitting. February brings us Valentines Day (our first one together!) and the Van Halen concert and then in March we will be volunteering at the Big 10 basketball tournament and I will working the Div 3 NCAA swimming championships. Whew, what a way to start the year!
More to come....
