Each December Indianapolis has 16 days of Christmas in which local museums allow the public to visit for free. I was so excited to take Abby to the State Museum to ride the train to see Santa. My mom and I arrived downtown only to find that there was absolutely NO parking anywhere near the museum. We parked over a mile away and walked in the freezing cold to make it. Poor Abby was a good sport, but she started crying during the journey because her tiny little hands were icy cold.
Although the visit didn't start out very fun, we three girls had a good time warming up in the Ayers Tea Room for lunch. Abby gave Nina her thank you gift for watching her while I worked at the ROCK. Then we were off to the train. This made the entire ordeal worth it. Abby LOVED the train! Then instead of seeing Santa (since the line was very long and Abby is scared to death of him) we visited Mrs. Claus. It was a fantastic afternoon. However, next time I think it would be worth the price of admission to stay warm.

Both of their faces seem to ask me to take the picture and be done with it!
