Peregrine Falcons on Indy's Circle! Check it out!

A pair of Peregrine Falcons have nested atop one of Indianapolis' tallest buildings that overlook the downtown Monument Circle.

The Indianapolis Star newspaper is partnering with the Department of Natural Resources in hosting a "Falcon Cam" that features images of the nesting falcons and the ledge overlooking the circle. To-date the pair have four eggs and anticipate hatching to begin around April 24th.

Smoozin for some Cruisin...

Sorry, folks, but we have to escape!!!

I found a VERY nice cruise special that will depart out of Miami to spend a day in Nassau, a day at Royal Carribean's private island, and a day in Key West (I can taste the Key lime pie now). We even included a night at South Beach just to watch the "nightlife." Using some frequent flyer points resulted in two round-trip flights for a total of $15.00. Since Ed is a SENIOR CITIZEN!!!, we qualify for a very decent fare for an oceanview stateroom.

How did we justify this? My birthday is in March and Ed's is in April. PLUS, I will graduate from Indiana University in May. SO, all three of those special events together equal one cruise in the fun and sun. Sheesh, we can't wait!
