This is such a nice walk that we wanted to share. And, we thought Good Friday would be an appropriate time.
Fun rest stop on I-5
Maple tree whirligigs
Maple seeds beginning to develop
It won’t be long until there will be hundreds (if not thousands) of those twirling, spinning maple tree seeds flying to Earth. The technical term for this winged seed is samara, but you probably refer to them as helicopters or whirligigs.

Indy Craft Beer pass
In 2002, USA Today readers voted Indy as the #3 beer city in the U.S. We joined Visit Indy and from there we found https://www.visitindy.com/deals/craft-pass/
We visited 5 breweries and got 500 points which qualified us for a free t-shirt!
The breweries we visited are:
The next prize we’d like is the Ceramic Beer Stein. We need 2000 points to get the stein, will take awhile but that’s a goal we have.
Trip to New Orleans
We had so much fun on our trip to New Orleans! Looking back and thinking this is a place I’d like to go visit again!
St. Louis Catholic Cemetery in Batesville
St. Louis Catholic Church Cemetery, located in Batesville, Indiana. Awesome memorial stones can be found here.
A wonderful way to remember.
Batesville’s Bison-tennial statue
Indiana’s Bicentennial was celebrated in 2016. As part of the celebration, fiberglass statues of bison were made available to each of Indiana’s counties. Local artists decorated them with themes and scenes of the local area and features. We have seen several of these during our travels around the state, and our trip to Batesville today was no different.
We found the familiar shape of one of 92 Indiana county’s bison statues in front of the Batesville City Admin and Police Department Building. “Braun” sure makes a striking appearance on this admin office lawn!
Lil’ Charlie’s Restaurant and Brewery
Lil’ Charlie’s Restaurant and Brewery is located in downtown Batesville, Indiana. We stopped for lunch and found the food delicious. We tried a flight of beer and it was very good. Hard to pick a favorite, but Maj liked the Oktoberfest Marzan Man best. We’ll be going there again next time we’re in the area.
I loved these and the special sauce was yummy!
