We left camp so quickly that Josh and I needed to get coffee and Aaron needed breakfast out. Aa had a lovely egg and cheese on a hamburger roll from a gas station in Ohio.
Our plan for the day was the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum and then to continue driving further west to a campground. While driving through Ohio Aaron said "hey Mommy and Daddy Orville Wright was born in Ohio." Josh and I said well then what about Wilbur and Aaron said he was born in Indiana.
A couple hours later ... low and behold there was the sign for the Wilbur Wright Museum and birthplace in Indiana. Detour through 7 miles of corn to arrive at his lovely Museum.
After a lovely tour we get back in the truck and continue driving to the speedway. Torrential rains and rainbows along the way. We arrived to 90° and sunny at the speedway. All the quick easy tours were done so we were stuck doing the VIP tour. Wow wow wow
We toured the museum were absolutely mystified at the Indy cars. It really amazed us how close in time to Orville brothers first flight and the first Indy race were... just 6 years apart!
Gasoline Alley, the Press Box, the timing Booth, a bus ride on the track and the coup de gras we got to kiss the Brick.
Truly a great tour!
Back in the truck and on our way to our next Campground through some more torrential rains.
Good all Aaron! After reading the book I want to go there too!
