This weekend Jason and I went to Indianapolis. We had a pretty fun time, but we discovered that the people in Indianapolis are...well, kind of mean. We made up for the lack of hospitality by ordering lots of room service and movies and playing the train game (see me as a conductor of a train- at the the Children's Museum- above)... in our room. We did wander out a bit. We went to the Children's Museum, which had a great exhibit on comic books (see Jason as a comic above), as well as a display on Ryan White, Anne Frank, and Ruby Bridges, which we cried buckets at. We also went to the Indianapolis Zoo, where we did lots of behind the scene stuff, such as help feed lizards and hang with penguins and get extra close to the dolphins. We had dinner at a place called the Slippery Noodle Inn. The Slippery Noodle has a colorful past- it has been a road stop bar for the train that passes close by, a stop on the Underground Railroad, a luxurious inn, a gangster hideout, a bathtub gin brewery, and a bordello. It sounds like my kind of place... and definitely the only type of place able to lure me away from the fabulous haven called the Omni hotel room.
