Indianapolis Weekend Getaway: Hoops, History & Speed! 🚗🏀

🏀 Day 1: NBA Game Night (Pacers vs. Cavs - G3) "The game was… rough." 😅 Only Donovan Mitchell showed up (MVP-level play!), while the Pacers bricked threes and Haliburton hesitated all game. Silver lining? Free jerseys! 👕 (And watching Mitchell carry the Cavs alone was impressive.) Hot take: Modern NBA = "Make threes or suffer." 🎯❌ 🏛️ Day 2: War Memorial Museum Highly recommended! 🇺🇸 Exhibits on US military history, including the USS Indianapolis (torpedoed, survivors adrift for days). Korean War section was nuanced & respectful. 🥪 Lunch @ Shapiro’s Deli Jewish deli heaven! 🥪🍲 Classic pastrami/corned beef sandwiches + hearty meatball soup = perfect fuel. 🏎️ Afternoon: IndyCar Racing ($34 steal!) First-time experience? Mind-blowing! 🤯 Stood trackside (no one stopped me!)—engines roaring past at 200+ mph is unreal. 🍲 Dinner @ Asian Snack (Hidden Gem!) Tianjin-style street food in a sketchy mall: Shredded potatoes & lamb soup = 🔥 Jianbing (Chinese crepe) = solid. 🎓 Evening: Indiana University Bloomington Graduation vibes + wine tasting! 🍷 Campus stroll route: Sample Gates → Dunn Meadow → Maxwell Hall → Rose Well House → Bookstore → Showalter Fountain → Kelley School of Business 🌳 (Perfect for photos & relaxing walks!) Detour: Oliver Winery (quick sips of local wine 🍇). Final Thoughts: A mix of sports, speed, and scholarly vibes—Indy delivers! #NBA #Indiana #TravelUSA #IndyCar #IU #KelleySchool #FoodieFinds 📸🍴
