Day 339 - HP at the museum

So. Since i've time to spare, and i've taken too many pics, and some pple have suggested more pics anyways, im gonna post more pics. And perhaps write a bit more. maybe. xD

We went to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago because it was a free entry day!! Bros are as lively as ever at 8am when we left home. I was quite surprised that they stayed awake for the drive since teens like them tend to fall asleep anywhere between 7&10am xDAnd here's the driver - as lively as her bros. The drive was about an hour and half-two hours. Mom was our main camera person today. She took 207 pics!! Thanks to her, we have tons of interesting self-made souvenirs xD I see where i get my photo-mania from hahah The museum opened at 9:30am, but we tried to get to Chicago as early as possible because of the following: dimsum brunch!! If i had to give a reason for this pic i wouldn't know what to say. I can only describe what we did: we all unrolled some steamed cream cake rolls and decided to take a special pic with it. While i wondered why it occurred us to do so, i noticed from the corner of my eye some other customers eye-ing and chuckling at us... Though i think i would do the same if i saw something similar hahah.

Two hours later we were still not in the museum. Wanna guess why? 1) trafic in any big city sucks 2) road map in any cramped college-city sucks 3) BABY GEESE! We came across three geese family with tiny fuzzballs roaming around their feet so i took the luxury of an asian tourist to shoot a couple pics... That's quite a typical pic-taking pose of me x]


AND finally in the museum! Here are a series of hand picked memorable moments:
Bros seem to be easily influenced by misinformed media *coughtahoepplecough* The NASA gallery with the most current missions and plans (my bro couldn't stick his head out of that face-hole 'cause his head was too big...)
Submarine gallery that showcases a REAL submarine (U505, which inspired the movie "U571") and strikingly realistic fleet models (and our faces. i think my left most bro started this ultimate face-morph) A VERY VERY OLD "TELEVISION NEWS"
And the real reason why my oldest bro used 1 of his allowed 2-days unexcused absence: Harry Potter movie set exhibition!
They didn't allow any pics inside the exhibition so we satisfied our pic hunger by taking an asian family face pic with Mr. Weasly's flying car outside the exhibition x]Oh and we also found this at the souvenir/gift shop. Anyone remember what it is? hahah
Ok my dear reader, i'm going to be frank here: there were other pics far more strange, more outrageous, more jumpy, more... uhm... crazy i guess. But this post is making me realize a potential reason why some of my friends are switching to Wordpress... I still have yet to try it out. But, the set up of Blogger's photo-uploader is getting on my nerves... Uploading pics ONE by one is just time consuming and inefficient... I don't think i'll ever post an entry this long... Or maybe i will since i'm on a break?

Either way, i hope you enjoyed this 1 day photo-journey. And if you ever ask me about the other pics, i might show you. Or I think i should ask my bros first since im not the only shameless poser in those pics xD
