The Science Behind Pixar

I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Science Museum of Minnesota for an open house.

I invited my friend, Sara, to be my date, and we enjoyed a wonderful evening! They wined and dined us with some amazing food. How about a mac and cheese bar, complete with all the toppings? Why haven't I thought of that before? The carved beef was great, too, but Sara enjoyed the dessert bar. Thanks to Lancer Catering for all the tasty morsels!

Once our tummies were filled with good food and drink, it was time for the Science Behind Pixar exhibit. Don't tell anyone, but this was the main reason Sara and I attended this open house! We had an absolute blast! We could have stayed all night long. The interactive exhibits not only were fun, but they were educational. We saw both adults and kids having the time of their lives. And that's how it should be. Learning can be fun, even if it involves math!

If this touring exhibit comes to your town, be sure to catch it. I wish I had time to go see it again. And don't forget to bring your wallets so you can hit the gift shops!

Toys Story

In 'Toy Story 2', toys are being kept by an avid collector. Can you image what takes place at night at the Minnesota History Center? Currently there's an exhibit entitled, 'Toys of the '50's, 60s and '70s' taking place until January, 2015. On display are popular toys that capture the craziness, the joy, and the sheer fun of being a kid. Or an adult who thinks he's a kid.

Our company at work is celebrating its 60th anniversary, so I had to plan an event that would tie into our anniversary. What better way to celebrate than to host a private event at the History Center and view this exhibit? It was nearly unanimous that everyone enjoyed the venue and event. Sometimes you can't please people with poopie diapers.

Needless to say I was in 7th Heaven. I found a bunch of toys I had as a kid, but I also found a few favorites as part of the exhibit. I doubt anyone would be surprised.

Star Wars: Nothing But Star Wars

Well, I'm going to be releasing my inner-Star Wars geekness now. St Paul was lucky enough to be one of the cities to host the Star Wars exhibit at our Science Museum. Here's proof that I was there.

To quote my favorite Star Wars character, "We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life." If you are brave enough, click the link below to see all the pictures I took at the exhibit. May the Force Be With You!
