Brunch Series at Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra

On a snowy Sunday, Ashley planned a fun Valentine's day for us!

The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra offered a new Brunch Series.

"New this Season- the ISO’s Brunch Series! Experience fantastic classical works during our new Sunday matinee concerts. Israeli violinist Pinchas Zukerman will perform and conduct Haydn's Violin Concerto No. 1 in addition to conducting Schubert's Symphony No. 5.

Upgrade your concert experience and add brunch! Enjoy a pre-concert meal including bottomless mimosas in the ISO’s Wood Room overlooking Monument Circle.Brunch is served from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and the concert begins at 2:00 p.m"

We had the perfect view of Monument Circle from the Wood Room.

We ate family style with table pastries, sausages and bacon.

We each were served a plate of avocado toast and roasted potatoes as well.

Our favorite part was the bottomless mimosas - of course!

Gran was all smiles as she chatted with our table mates.  They each had a connection to Illinois so she was loving it!

Oddly enough - the men seated with us were also each twins.  It made for a lot of twins!

We snapped a picture by the majestic view before stocking up on coffee.

The concert was really good!  It was interesting to see a composer who also plays during the same concert.

The brunch definitely left something to be desired.  It was worth it to have the extra time together, but we probably wouldn't do it again.

We exchanged some small Valentines and love gifts.

Ashley had purchased a book of love quotes which Emily completed with photos of family.

We hoped it would be a loving reminder that although her husbands are gone, she has lots of love still left in her life!

LOVE was a main theme throughout the day.

We held hands through the performance and listened to the sounds of composers and days gone by.

Great twin day full of LOVE!

Traders Point Thursday

On this rainy, cold Thursday, we had a cozy evening in Traders Point.

We started at Qdoba.  Ashley's coupon book got us a free chips and queso side!

Then we made our way to the Salt Lounge.

We spent an hour basking in the salt air and sipping 7 Moons.

We talked about the definition of a mid-life crisis and how looking back on your life always makes more sense than living it.

Next we visited Starbucks for some tea and chatted until closing time.

We put together Gran's Valentines this week for her Hoosier Village friends and they turned out perfect!

It is so lovely to be able to do small things for her and her friends.

We love her so deeply and are looking forward to the weekend when we can take her out again!

Relaxing twin night!
