Sigo Journeys-- Where to Next?

This was our first trip in 2008.

Fri, 1/11/08- We arrived in Indianapolis at 11:00 PM.

Sat, 1/12/08- We headed to West Lafayette. We stopped for lunch at Triple XXX Family Restaurant (named after the named after Triple XXX Root Beer), Indiana's first drive in. It was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Network. The restaurant has entirely bar-stool seating at a counter that winds around the restaurant. The burgers are named after Purdue football players and are made from 100% ground sirloin. E had The Boilermaker Pete and I had the The Bernie Flowers All-Pro, accompanied by fried and onions rings.

We walked to the basketball stadium where Purdue was playing the Ohio Buckeyes. The Boilermakers beat the Buckeyes 75-68. It was my first basketball game in a college stadium.

We headed back to Indy to celebrate at Mo's Steakhouse. We had the scallops wrapped in pancetta and splurged on the Surf & Turf, which consisted of their signature dish-- the 20 oz rib eye and an Australian lobster tail.

Sun, 1/13/08- The Westin was connected to the RCA Dome, so it was very convenient to get to the stadium, especially since it was cold and snowing. We were definitely expecting the Colts to whip the Chargers-- it was a nail biter towards the end. But the Colts couldn't pull through and the Chargers defeated the Colts 28-24. Next year, the Colts will be in the new Lucas Oil stadium. Can't wait to experience it!
