Laura and I decided to make a day run to the Chicago museum of Science and Industry. Early flight on Southwest and a 45 minute bus ride and we were there.
The huge model train set was great. Laura found some kayakers and had to share with everyone. I saw this German war plane as we walked in and was hoping this Fokker was a Messerschmitt. But alas it was a Stukka. So much for bad jokes.
Both Laura and I found our jobs in the Museum. I think all my family would have found their work in the museum. Even my sister, believe it or not, they had a patent and industrial law display.
The main reason we went to the museum was to check out this house. Which you can have built if you want. It showed off a number of eco friendlier ways of design and material use. It is a modular home, box rooms built in the factory and put together on site. It was sweet. Denver has a townhome site being built on a lot of the same design principles. I am going to check out how much that would be.
After a long day and no state fairs for me this year. I at least got to rest in a John Deere wheel. Ahhhhhhhhhhh
ps from Laura--- I have to note that the first picture is me pouting because we could not, in fact, go see the giant heart that I have heard about since I was 3 - they're redoing all the human body stuff. And Laura Rose- the patent law display was a climbing wall. L:)
