All Are Welcome (except kids)

For day two of our Indy adventure, we headed to the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. This place was much more to Cameron's liking, aside from the super boring photography (Ansel Adams -- *yawn*). To Cameron's irritation, we kept dawdling over the black and white photos when there were TOTEM POLES to see!!!
There was also a family activity area where we all had a great time. Ride 'em cowboys!
And, what visit to the Eiteljorg is complete without dressing up as a Bible thumper and posing in front of the stagecoach?
Our only disappointment was the Community Drum Circle. It sounded right up our alley, so we planned our day around it. The sign clearly said "All are welcome," yet every time Cameron wiggled or Matthew squeaked, the leader scowled in our direction or heaved a mighty sigh and loudly reminded the circle that this was "a sacred and solemn ritual, and I'd like to treat it as such." After a few minutes of discomfort, we cut our losses and instead spent some time at the rock climbing wall where wiggling is very much allowed!

I'm glad you had a fun trip. The only thing I can say with certainty about traveling is when Plan A (drum circle) doesn't work, you move to Plan B (climbing wall). I have also moved on to Plan C, Plan D and once or twice to Plan E.
