Ok, so we didn't really spend the night at the museum like in Ben Stiller's wild and zany 2006 flick, but I just needed a catchy contemporary title because I didn't think you'd look at our blog otherwise. At the University of Michigan Natural History Museum, there is an exhibit about the Hubble Space Telescope and the up-and-coming James Webb Space Telescope. During the summer of 2007 I worked for ATK in Magna (UT), where some of the structural composite parts are being designed and constructed. I didn't really play a critical role, but I still wanted to check out the display, which was pretty cool. The cost of entrance was right in our price range: free. There was a "suggested donation" for entrance, but we tactlessly pretended like we didn't see the sign. What a bunch of cheapskates we are!
As a side note, the whole trip reinforced the concept that chics dig babies! I've let my single friends know that if they want to stroll around the park with Timmy a bit, it's cool. I don't think they quite understand what a babemagnet Timmy can actually be! On this particular trip, he was hammin it up on the bus, and always had at least one female admirer smiling at him. I think if he realized that he just gets less attractive to the ladies as he gets older, he'd be getting phone numbers and commitments now while he's still got it.
