More catching up!
Geez, I cannot believe it's the middle of June already!!! For a while it had been hard to tell because it was chilly and rainy up until recently. Greg mentioned to me that were having March in June, and I told him that it was OK because we had January in March. Seriously :p.
Since I posted about this past weekend in my previous entry (how timely :P), why don't I post about the weekend before?
On Thursday 6/4, count_gregula and I went to the Museum of Science & Industry. Since we arrived at 10:30 am (much earlier than usual), we were able to see some of the exhibits that we usually miss because of time limits. We got to see the Henry Crown Space Center, the Circus exhibit and the Museum Archives, where there are photos and artifacts from the earlier days of the Museum. We also checked out the Farm exhibit and Colleen Moore's Fairy Castle. But the highlight of our trip was seeing Harry Potter: The Exhibition :D. The exhibit was cool! It started out with a staff member dressed as a Hogwarts student/staff picking out volunteers to be sorted using the Sorting Hat, then took us by a wall of the paintings featured in the movie, including the Fat Lady who was very amusing in her video "painting". There was a ton of actual props from the movie as well as various outfits the stars wore in the movies. Our favorite was the recreation of Hagrid's Hut! Afterwards we checked out the Harry Potter-themed gift shop where I purchased a magnet, a postcard and a velvet glittery coloring poster. I really wanted the t-shirt but I simply cannot justify spending $25 on a shirt or $50 for a hoodie :p. Afterwards we went to Wing Stop to eat and I wish I could remember what we did afterwards but I'm sure we did something fun ;).
Friday 6/5, we had lunch at Sweet Tomatoes which is always a favorite of ours :). We decided to go see a movie and our choice for the evening was Angels & Demons, which turned out to be a very interesting thriller with some rather gruesome murder scenes. Not bloody or extremely gory but still very disturbing. We capped the night at Majestic Star Casino and only managed to lose $5 :).
Saturday 6/6, we were originally going to see Drag Me To Hell but we had missed getting there due to a late start and traffic being horrific. So we decided to see a later showing of Night At The Museum 2: Battle Of The Smithsonian instead. Greg and I really enjoyed it, especially the two monkeys who liked to slap Ben Stiller around lol. Since G. had to go to work that night, we only had time for a quickie at Pita Inn.
The rest of the weekend was spent working, big surprise.
