Aliens, Storm Troopers and Jedis....Oh My!

I'm sure we are the only people who drop their moving process to go to a museum on a Saturday morning! We literally got up and left the work to head downtown for breakfast at Capital Cafe and then to the SC State Museum to see the "Aliens" exhibit. Normally we wouldn't have done this, but the exhibit was free for members and they were having some special guests --- Star Wars and Star Trek characters.

If you get a chance to see "Aliens", it is terrific. It was very different than what I expected....it was a lot of science and a little science fiction. Ben was excited to have his picture made with a Storm Trooper, a Jedi and a Sand Trooper.

They gave us these cool Alien headband bopper-thingies when we got there....we insisted that Clay wear his, even though he informed us it was "embarassing"....we countered with "you've lived here for 24 hours; you don't know anyone!"

It took two of them to lift this real meteorite...I did it with one hand :) (Seriously!)

At least Ron is smiling as he checks his weight on each planet of the Solar System. Maybe he's wishinghe lived on Neptune or Jupiter or somewhere!

An Alien visitor!

I'm not sure what Ron's face is all about....the Storm Trooper was a little dirty, but he didn't smell bad or anything :)
