I never used to bring home food from vacation, except for maybe omiyage (gifts) for others. However, Mariko always does lots of shopping for local foods, and bring them home to enjoy and now I am starting to really appreciate that.
So, packing light in order to have more space in the luggage for goodies is a thing for me. On the latest trip, I brought back several cans of local beer. And let me tell you, the extra effort in bringing it home made it made it much tastier!
Today our trip to Indiana came to an end. Before leaving, though, we had to have one last local beer at the airport. It’s a short flight so I should be able to “hold it” until we arrive in Austin. 😆

It was a fun trip, and I’m looking forward to going again next year!
Today we had a relaxing day in Indy. We basically just moved to a different hotel, ate food, drank coffee and beer, and relaxed. Yay for these kinds of days to balance out the exciting ones.
Today we started our vacation trip to Indianapolis, Indiana. We are flying there to watch our son, Koa, compete with The Blue Devils in the DCI 2022 Championships! It’s also my first time to Indiana, so I’m extra-excited.

We arrived at about 5 pm and headed to our hotel, then to a nearby restaurant named Nada. The food was delicious! We had ceviche, tacos, salmon, croquettes, and papas fritas. And of course, we had a few beers to wash it all down. A great first meal in Indy.
After dinner, we walked over to Lucas Oil Stadium where the drum corps will compete. Tonight was the prelims, and we didn’t get tickets for it (we have tickets for the semi-finals and finals later) but we wanted to go meet up with Koa during their practice in the lot. I also had to give Koa my GoPro just in case they win the championship and have a victory encore performance. Fingers crossed!
We haven’t seen Koa in a few weeks so it was nice to say hi and wish him luck in the competition. Go Blue Devils!
After saying goodbye, we went back to our hotel and watched the prelims on the laptop at our room. And good news, they won prelims, so their undefeated season continues. Let hope their run continues tomorrow at semi-finals!

We have a few friends over for dinner tonight and I grilled some burgers, and Mariko baked the buns. I had bought some round-shaped cheese for burgers. I thought it was a good idea, but it just looks weird. Square cheese definitely makes for a better photo!
They still tasted great, though. 😄

I use a Fujifilm X-series camera for most of the photos on this site and my Instagram. Why not pick one up for yourself?
