We had thought this would be a quick stop, but the boys had such a great time that we stuck around for awhile. The first stop we made was walking to the town center where there is a canal built for people to walk by. On the way to the canal, our enthusiastic Evan exclaimed "I see a geyser!" Knowing the Indy doesn't share the same volcanic activity as Yellowstone, we looked puzzled until we saw the man hole in the road venting its steam. Ah yes-- a man made geyser.
Probably, the boys favorite stop in Indy was their tour of the Colts Stadium. During the two hour tour, we were able to see luxury boxes, locker room, press box, regular seats, and even touch the field.
We even saw a man propose to his girlfriend on the field. Too sweet!
Another anticipated stop was the Indy Children's Museum. We had heard that there was a Star Wars exhibit and the boys are fanatics. (Personally, I was a little disappointed with the exhibit, but the museum was incredible!) The boys did get to dress like Star Wars characters, however.
This picture was from the cool new Egypt exhibit that had just opened to feature King Tut. We should be riding on top of the crocodile on the Nile. The boys didn't think that was fun.Evan did enjoy the interactive exhibit where you could create a boat and float it down this complex series of water tubs.
Chris and I really liked the dino part. The boys were too excited to race off to the Star Wars part to stay here too long.
Finally, we capped off our trip to Indy with an evening at the Triple A baseball stadium watching a game. The boys truly enjoyed that. And the next morning, we had the obligatory stop to the Indy Speedway. We aren't big race car fans, but touring the track and seeing where the big cars race was fun as well.
After a day and a half in Indy, we packed up and headed to Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. . .
