Indianapolis

So, we headed out of St. Louis after rushing back to grab the cats and barely making it for our super late checkout, following the great time at the arch, and made an afternoon drive to Indianapolis, IN. This was a little out of our way, but seeing the Speedway was on Steve's wishlist.

Unfortunately, it was at this point that Dell had held onto our money for the laptop computer order we'd canceled for about a week and a half, and since we were fronting a lot of our travel expenses before getting reimbursed by Steve's new company, things were getting a little scary. So much of Steve's good time was marred by multiple phone calls to Dell's frustrating customer service call center in India.

Though this guy isn't from India, it was a bit like this video on You Tube, but imagine each of us calling about 50 times a piece over the course of a few days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bF5bVi5wKQ

We wanted to show Nathan a good time, so we decided to take him to Chuck E. Cheese, a new obsession of his. It was definitely late, but we didn't realize that we had crossed another time zone that evening, and were informed that the pizza chef had already gone home and they were closing in 15 minutes. Nathan was pretty disappointed, so we at least let him play a few games.
