    Default Museum- For the first time in years

    Yesterday, the gal I'm dating invited me to come with her to the Museum. So I got to take a half day for the first time in a while, and went. WOW! I haven't been there in so long and forgot how cool it was. My mom's good friend works there and got us in for free, plus we got free tickets to the planetarium and IMAX. This girl and I are really into space and went to see the planetarium presentation on Black Holes that was narrated by Liam Neeson, then a fascinating IMAX on "Space Junk" in 3D narrated by Tom Wilkinson. We also visited the space exhibit there and they have this awesome globe that the guy can project any planet and various satellite related feeds of earth onto. So cool! We're both in our late 20's and that place is just as awesome as it was when I went as a kid. I highly suggest you guys go check it out, even if you don't have kids, and recommend the planetarium and IMAX shows we saw.

    Yeah, and it was an added bonus to go down into the basement and see where the admin people work... turned out both this lady I knew and another guy my mom used to work with both work there. Best part, her husband works at the zoo so that might be the next adventure!

    Museums rock! I've always loved them. At least the ones with cool shit, not the ones with just freakin' art hanging everywhere. Natural History, Western, Military, Guns, etc., dig 'em all.

    Default IMAX is cool

    If you go to Florida for a vacation, try the IMAX theater at the Kennedy Space Center, then go on the bus tour of the complex. I spent 10 years in that area...

    Did you say, you are dating your moms best friend that works at the museum.. Or you did her at the museum? Dam..man.

    I love museums! Always drove my kids crazy as I would threaten stopping in any small town to see the local display. Wife hates me too!
