Had a great extended weekend!
On Saturday we went to a graduation party at our friends house Cindy and Stash for their son Danny. Food was good, but more important the company was great. It's always nice seeing friends that you don't see often and getting together in a casual social setting to just plain simple... shoot the bullcrap!
Sunday came along and after during yardwork in the hot sun, we went to my sister Dawn and her husband Tom's wedding anniversary party. They have been married 45 years! God Bless them! My brother-in-law threw the party at a mexican restaurant - El Meson Mexican Restaurant in Schaumburg. Char and I dined on the El Meson Combination dinner. It consisted of a seasoned skirt steak, a chicken taco and a chicken enchilada. Very tasty!
Monday, I took the day off. We took a ride into Chicago and went to the Museum of Science and Industry. Went to the Body Worlds exhibit. This exhibit feature real human specimens without skin showing the muscles, nerves, veins and organs. This is a must see for everyone. It is on through September 5, 2005. We also went to the Omnimax theater to see a movie "the Human Body". We also saw Toymaker 3000, Yesterday's Main Street, Robots Like US and a great exhibit visiting from UCLA called the Virtual 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair. It is a computer simulation using a system called the Urban Simulator. This takes you on a virtual tour of the fair, also called the Columbian Exposition. You can really get a sense of the grandour of the fair and all the marvels of architecture in the Victorian era. I am an avid fan of the Columbian Exposition and this was fantastic!
