We sat down to rest for awhile about half-way through Africa. Samantha fell asleep at some point in Africa.
.
We only did Africa because we were hot and tired.Marc was getting a little bored walking around looking at animals so we decided to try finding characters from his favotire movies. We found characters from the Lion King and Madagascar movies. We found from Lion King: Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumba, and Rafiki. From Madagascar we found: Marty, Gloria, Alex, Melvin, King Julian.
This is a picture of the kids on Gloria.
This is a picture of marc with King Julian.
After the zoo we had lunch at Fiorello's Jack Stack House. It had the best smoked ham, sausage, and turkey that we have ever had. it was yummy!After lunch we headed to Union Station.
Union Station was huge!!
Included in Union Station were the typical shops and restaurants along with a science museum, a theater/movie screen, a big train set to look at......
a room for a traveling exhibit. Right now it is Narnia; The Exhibition. It was full of props from the movie. It took us about 45 minutes to go through the exhibit. We were not allowed to take pictures in the exhibit hall so the only picture we got was at the front gate.
Outside of Union Station there was "Celebration at the Station", a celebration for memorial Day. The local Symphony Orchestra was performing so there was an instrument petter zoo. Marc walked over and immedicately found the percussion instruments.
For dinner we went to the T-Rex cafe. This is a theme restaurant like Rain Forrest Cafe only with a dinosaur theme. There were anamintronic dinosaurs around each table. The food was so-so, and expensive, but we were paying for the experience. It was pretty fun.
Part of the Celebration at the Station there were fireworks. Our hotel was about 2 blocks from Union Station so we were able to watch the fireworks from the parking lot of our hotel.
All-in-all, it was a good day.
