(mini) SPRING BREAK!

As a "working adult" with a handful of jobs I don't find myself with many breaks in my schedule other than on or around major holidays. So when I get the opportunity to take a full day off to do a "vacation-y" type of thing, you better believe I'm going to be excited about it. Especially when I get to spend that day with a very special person.

On Tuesday, Karin and I went to the Museum of Science & Industry to spend the day together - a day away from work, school and wedding planning (for the most part). We enjoyed a nice breakfast to start the day then headed downtown. While Karin had been to the museum years ago, I'd never formally been there as a museum patron. I'd had a Trinity formal there and also filmed a documentary there, but I'd never gotten to just walk around and experience it.

A couple videos from the museum - standing under falling, visible CO2 and in a 80 mph wind tunnel.

Despite the slightly painful three hours of walking (Karin had worked out the day before), we enjoyed seeing a lot of pretty cool things like an indoor tornado, baby chickens hatching, a game you could play with your mind and even blocks that you could use to play music. We also attended an OmniMax showing of "Vortex 2" - a documentary all about chasing tornados. All in all, it was a great day where I could get out from behind my desk, away from my computer and spend some quality time with my future wife.
