Yesterday I took the day off. Chris and I went to the Indy Zoo, where we had a nice day. If you haven't seen the new Dolphin Dome, it's very impressive. A unique glass underwater dome is in the middle of the main dolphin tank, which gives you a unique vantage point to watch the dolphins almost as if you're underwater with them.
The exhibit is so new, it was pretty obvious that the trainers have a long way to go to match their couterparts at other dolphin exhibitions around the country. Going into the show accustomed to seeing an impressive array of dolphin tricks, it was just a little disappointing for Chris and I to see the trainers work very hard to get a few very basic behaviors from their young sea mammals.
We capped off the day with an IMAX film, the NASCAR 3D. It was an interesting film, but I left wondering why they did it in 3D. The film made real use of the 3D effect a total of 1 time, flinging a tire at the audience after an on-screen crash. I did learn that the racing teams are far from the backwoods 'shiners racing each other on the weekends.
Now that the nice little mini-vacation is over, it's time to get back to the grind. Gotta pay taxes now, which is not the least bit fun.
