SANDWICHES & SCIENCE

Tim went through Exquisite Creatures more slowly than the rest of our crew back in January and said he'd come back after work someday to look at the upper level of it so he could hang out with the rest of us as we moved on to other OMSI things. The after work plan never happened and the exhibit closed on Sunday, so he headed up after church to finish walking through it. Silas and Devon both had plans from after church until later in the evening, but Naomi, Tyler, and I ended up going with him.

First stop, lunch at Firehouse Subs. The happy side of the table.


And the half happy, half pretending to be happy side. (Don't worry, my grumpiness didn't last all day.)


Off to OMSI. On a Sunday, which is always busy. On the last day of an awesome exhibit, which means all the other procrastinators were there. And there was no parking. We finally got sent down to a non-OMSI parking lot for overflow and walked back. Well, three of us walked. Tyler got a ride on Naomi's shoulders. This picture makes me laugh because it looks like a really tall person with a really long torso and arms set low on their body.


The line for Exquisite Creatures was absurdly long, I'd already seen it twice (once with the fam, once with my sister), and the kids weren't interested in seeing it a second time, so we split up. Tim waited in line and saw the upper level while the rest of us went off to have fun. At one point Naomi and I were both a little bored and crabby, so we took pictures with each other while Tyler played.


Tim found us when he was done with Exquisite Creatures and Tyler, who was obsessed with making flying objects on this visit, had Tim join him for a while.


We snapped a quick picture together as we left, then headed home to relax for the rest of the day.


Quick trip. Rough start. Horrible timing. All's well that ends well.
