Mini Vacation

We drove to Indy on Thursday. We decided to take a mini vacation and do the Family Adventure Pack thing. I thought it was a pretty good deal. We got 4 tickets to the Children's Museum, 4 tickets to the Zoo and Hotel stay at the Holiday Inn East, all for $175.00.

We packed snacks and lunch and headed out. We had decided to go to the Zoo first because it was supposed to be cooler; but it started to rain about half way there. When we arrived, around 12:00, we decided to go to the museum since it was raining. So, we checked in, changed our clothes, ate our lunch and headed out. Of course the sun began to shine right as we were leaving. Oh well, we headed to the Museum anyway. It was a blast.

For those of you who have never been to the Indianapolis Children's Museum, let me tell you, it is quite amazing. There is so much to do. There are four levels and each one is really interesting.

There are Dinosaur bones, old trains, miniature rooms recreated, Star Wars, Mad Scientist area with construction zone, Carousel, play area and so much more...

Here are just a few pics:

The museum is always busy, but we stayed till they closed and we made it to every floor. The kids immediately fell asleep when we took off in the car. Worth every penny, I'd say!

After, we ate at Damon's (kids ate free), changed and headed for the pool. Other than 3 other kids, we had the pool to ourselves. Matthew and Sara did not want to leave.

After a good nights sleep and breakfast at the hotel, we headed to the Zoo. Another amazing day...hot, but fun. I'm not sure why, but I still like our zoo better; but Sara enjoyed the Dolphin show and Matthew, as always, enjoyed the train ride.

-Anyway, if you ever get the opportunity, Indy is a lot of fun and pretty inexpensive.

Thanks for sharing and reading.
