Public Service Announcement:

I will not be online tomorrow until 5:00 p.m (c.s.t.) or thereabouts.... So the TCS contingent will be unchaperoned tomorrow... I will leave money(virtual) so whomever wants to go back to the mall could go back to the mall or just do whatever y'all decide to do... Kitlets too: Thanks for your understanding in this matter... I enjoyed my hosting duties for my leg of this vacation


Now back to your regular scheduled vacation

Unchaperoned? Well let's get everybody to Indiana!!!!!

Good Morning!! Welcome to Evansville, Indiana, and Southern Hoosier Hospitality!!

http://www.evansvillecvb.org/visitor...ttractions.tpl

Weâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]re at Evansville Regional Airport. ( www.evvairport.com/home/ ) .

The downtown YMCA is having their All-You-Can-Eat Pancake Days so I thought we'd stop by and eat all we can!!! They're also serving sausage, Susan!

Then we'll go to buy - CHOCOLATE!!!!! Two cousins, Mike Libs and Stephen Libs, have make the best - IMO - candy in the world. Seperate stores but similar recipe because their dads started Libs about 60 years ago.

Jasper wants to take the kits for a shopping spree at the local pet stores. He still wants to know why the birds have to be behind glass...

Tonight, our accommodations will be at Casino Aztar Hotel. For our evening activities, I thought perhaps our folks would like to go out on their own to explore. (Limos available!) You can gamble on the casino boat www.casinoaztar.com or go for a walk on the promenade along the Ohio River. http://www.usi.edu/artdept/artinindi...da/pagoda.html

Ghostbusters can lurk at Willard Library for a chance to see their resident ghost – who even has a ghostcam! www.libraryghost.com

Okay, early risers - let's eat!!!

After you are full, there are lots of things to see.

The Evansville Otters baseball team plays at Bosse Field. www.evansvilleotters.com/bosse_field.html
Most of “A League of Their Own†was filmed in this area in 1991. (Itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s about womenâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s professional baseball during World War II featuring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna, Rosie Oâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]Donnell – directed by Penny Marshall).

We have shopping areas all over. East side, west side, all around the town… Sorry, I couldnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t resist. On the east side is our IMAX theater which opened before Christmas.

Nature lovers can check out Wesselman Woods, a tract of virgin woodland in the city!

The kitties are welcome everywhere!!! The casino is even setting aside a floor for their gambling convenience.

Willard Library also has a great genealogy floor.

I meant to say they have a great genealogy department.

Since the Daytona 500 is today, we will have our own suite with giant screen TV to view it. And all the refreshments we want.

We didn't see any ghosts, but I am looking forward to the race. I don't know much about car racing, to be honest, but it looks like fun (to watch anyway, to drive must be hard work). What should we order for refreshments?

Thank you Sandra for hosting. It was fun in Springfields. It was the first time I learned about the Route 66 Festival.

Jan, Casino Aztar and limos? Wow, great accomodations!

My kitties and I will stroll down the Riverfront and then visit that ghost in the Willard library. My gang is sensitive to the paranormal (yeah, right) and will have fun chasing any floating ectoplasma.
Will Jasper join us or is he still trying to break the glass of the pet store showcases?
