F is for Final Four Fan Fest
“Basketball really had its origin in Indiana, which remains the center of the sport.” – James Naismith
Rumor has it that Indianapolis received some rave reviews about this year’s Final Four. And why not? Basketball rules the roost in Indiana. And Men’s Final Four weekend is a great celebration of all things basketball. Combining the two? Well, it just makes sense. Kind of like peanut butter and jelly. It’s the perfect combination.
So we spent Sunday afternoon/evening in Indy. It was not your typical Easter Sunday for us, but at least we managed to have some ham sandwiches on the way to the festivities.

We joined 3,500 other kids in a giant basketball parade, dribbling through the streets of downtown Indy. There were a few organizational speedbumps in getting the whole thing started, but that’s probably to be expected. Once we were on the road, there was nothing to stop us.

We also got to play around in the Fan Experience inside the Convention Center. Then we got to ride a Ferris Wheel and hear some live music. For the whole day, we spent a grand total of five bucks. And that was to park. I’m not sure you can beat that deal!

It was a great day full of fun, family, and music. And walking. Lots of walking.
Walked 9 miles while taking in all the #FinalFour festivities in downtown #Indy today. What a great celebration of college basketball!

Not a bad way to spend your Sunday afternoon, though. We can’t wait for the Final Four to return in five years!
