Indianapolis Trip

HIM: We returned from Indianapolis, having stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn (May 22 - 24) right off of the downtown Circle Plaza. It was a great time! We made it to the Zoo, Children's Museum, swimming, dining at a Peruvian restaurant, and sat outside Starbucks reading and chatting the last morning of our stay.

Here we are at the Indianpolis Zoo watching dolphins do flips in the air.

In this picture, I act as translator for a very pleasant hyena, so that Sebastian can make a new (plastic) friend at the Indy Zoo.

Sebastian looking "awesomely cool" in his shades on our ride to the Peruvian restaurant north of Indianapolis.


Sebastian made friends at the Children's Museum. He also landed a seat at the head of the table in this mock household and was served his food like a king. The others don't seem to mind, though. Some people just need a purpose in life, as observed through the behaviors of young children... :)

In another interactive wing of the Children's Museum, Sebastian and I attempt to build a "movie theater" just like the Ancient Egyptians had. Sebastian had all sorts of revolutionary ideas about seating and roof support. I think in this picture he's envisioning the building of a pyramid multiplex, while directing a crew of undercaste in its creation (namely myself).

In this Children's Museum photo, Sebastian is captain of a submarine with his mother making a rare sighting of the bizarre Frankfish from a side observation window.

On the way home from Indy, we had a little fun with some SOAR! clown noses. Vanessa looks cute, even with an enlarged red watusi. There is also a brief glimpse of her mother sitting in the seat behind her.
