Guh. Brain dead. Crashed with Allie's folks for the night.
So evidently the The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is one of the world's largest Children's Museums.
... boy, can we feel it.
Ran around like little kids, which amused the staff. First exibit we checked out was the Spymaster thing, where you ran around doing various activities (dress up in costume, hacking, defusing bombs, petting the large angry kitty in a box) to get the passwords to decode more information to prevent Oscorp from releasing a virus that will destroy the wireless networks.
Then there were dinosaurs, and the 'Dracorex Hogwartsia' skull, the only one of it's kind. (it's a real dinosaur, btw)
They have a really cool glass display, it's called 'Fireworks of Glass', but it really looks like drunk tentacles. With the occasional random cupid.
There was also the Eygptian mummy in the 'What If' room. Real mummy. Wow. Although we thought that the jewelry was wrong. Something about shiny pearlesant beads in Ancient Egypt.
Then we went and rode the antique carasol in the top floor. Love Carasols. We got to ride three times because there was no line.
We were gonna head to lunch and ended up heading into the science area and playing with the water flow things, then went over to the map of the local waterways and tried to flood Indianapolis. *Cackles* Was fun.
So while everyone else was in the Gift Shop, I got lost looking at dinosaur bones and had to run back. ^^;; whoops.
Then on the way back to Allie's house before heading towards Kentucky when we realised that gas prices had suddenly risen from $3.27 to $3.58 in the space it had taken us to drive the museum and back.
Starting to re-work the trip to save on gas milage due to that gas prices will prolly reach about $4 a gallon before too long. (and the ones from out of the States point and laugh. ^^;; )
