A trip to Ft. Harrison State Park
This morning we took off on our first round of sightseeing! I wanted to drive, but was told, "No!" since I can't see over the steering wheel.
So, I got relegated to the passenger seat and off we went.
Our first stop was to a park in the city of Lawrence, Indiana. Lawrence sits in the northeast corner of Marion County, Indiana. It is a suburb of Indianapolis, with about forty thousand humans, and growing all the time.
Inside Lawrence sits what used to be Ft. Benjamin Harrison. One of the U.S. Army's soldier support centers. The Fort was turned over to the local government in the '90's, and has really become a wonderful place to see. A good portion of the Fort was converted into a state park.

All in all it was a lot of fun today. Thanks to Ginny Harvey at Ft. Harrison State Park for her kind words of encouragement.

See ya next time!
