Unexpected Weekend at the Museum

Aug 02, 2009 20:50

This weekend was crazy, but awesome. Both Saturday and Sunday I worked down at the little Tri-Cities Historical Museum. On Saturday three guys come waltzing into the museum. They all spread themselves out evenly and approach my co-working and myself. As they are approaching I notice they each have one ear plug in their right ear. So I'm thinking to myself...oh no. But they introduce themselves and lone behold they are some secret service guys who are downtown during our big Coast Guard Festival because Thad Allan, the Commandant of the US Coast Guard (or in other words the guy in charge of all the coast guard in the United States) was coming to town. Now, apparently this was a big deal, because these three secret service agents wanted to use our museum, which is located right behind the stadium where Thad Allen and some other big dignitaries would be watching the fireworks, and so they wanted to set up a second command post at the museum in case something were to threaten the dignitaries.
So that was awesome. Because not only did these guys hold out their sweet badges as they introduced themselves and have little ear pieces in their ears, but they also shook our hands, haha.

Then today as I was working at the museum..unexpectedly a good friend from Taylor and his entire family, showed up to tour the museum, just because they knew I'd be there. Way to make a girl feel special, haha. They were vacationing up in northern michigan and decided to drive a good ways out of their way to come say hello. I mean...come on...who does that.

Needless to say, it was an eventful weekend at the Depot Museum. Plus this years Coast Guard fireworks were awesome!! So impressive!
