AACE 2012


We traveled to Indianapolis, IN to square dance at the AACE convention.  This is the first year this convention has been held in Indianapolis. 

Kelly and Shonas house in Louisville, KY
We spent the night with Shonas in Louisville.  They have their house up for sale as they are both moving to Montana.  Of course, we went to Molly Malone's for dinner.  They have good Irish food there.

We left Shonas and probably our last stay at their house in Louisville and went to our favorite little breakfast joint for our wonderful breakfast before we took off for Indianapolis. We stayed At Jean Ballinger's house which is about three miles from the square dance center.  After getting settled there we went looking for a place to eat and checked out the area so we wouldn't get lost.  Jean has a very nice house in a quiet suburb and graciously allowed us to stay there while she was hiking in Michigan.  A truly good friend!

After breakfast we went over to the hotel and met with some of our friends that were here dancing too.  Sue and Arnie Shafer and John and Sandy Walenter are here so we hung out with them most of the convention.  This area at the convention center does not have many places to eat so we were forced to go a distance to find something beside Denney's.  We did go to Jimmy John's for lunch and it was fairly close.  For dinner, we found a good Italian Restaurant with good food.  It was a little pricy but the food was good.  Unfortunately, while we were there, the lady at the table next to us got up to go to the bathroom and stepped off a step and fell.  I, having the old EMT in me kick in, went to her assistance.  She was not hurt too badly but I had her sit until her husband could pay his bill and get her loaded in the car.  Habit for me I guess.

We went to the workshops and then the dance but left the convention early and headed back to Missouri.  We leave on Monday for Montana for the family reunion.  I have the camper packed and almost ready to go so will finish that up when we get home, groceries, etc.
