Well, hello.  Welcome and please come in to my “Indy Trip Planner” blog.  My name is Cassidy and I’ll be your guide through the wonderful world of Indy.  I have lived in Indianapolis my entire life, but I have to confess that it wasn’t until I took a position in the communications department at the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association that I truly began to appreciate all of the wonderful (lazy word alert!) things it has to offer residents and visitors.  Ah, but I’m not going to let that happen to you, dear readers.  Every week, I’ll be posting an Indianapolis getaway/trip idea to entice you to visit Indy or, for you residents, experience your hometown in a whole new way.  So please, come back often to check out each week’s trip idea and to leave me your ideas and comments.  Here – I’ll even make it easy for you...sign up for the RSS feed for my blog and the content will come to you.

In the meantime, here’s a little more about me...

I have been working at the ICVA for almost eight years.  I absolutely love my job – and that’s not just me being PC.  I really enjoy what I do and adore the folks I work with.  I’m the writer behind most of our consumer leisure marketing communications, so it’s fun to write about the fun stuff!  Personally, I’m a 30-something working wife and mother of a young son.  My husband and I love to experience this city with our toddler and hope to give him the same sense of pride in place that we feel living here.
