On Saturday, after a very disappointing lunch at the proported “best Greek Restaurant” in Indianapolis, we headed to Handel’s Ice Cream for dessert. This is hand’s down the best ice cream in the world. No kidding. I think that they actually won the award for best ice cream in the world, or at least best [...]

We drove to Fort Wayne, Indiana on Thanksgiving to spend the day with the King family. The whole clan was there, including Larry’s Grandma and Aunt Joan. It was really great to see everyone, and we had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.

We’re also going to be hanging out in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I don’t have a picture of the King [...]
