One Fun Day

My friend Katie and I went to new CSI exhibit yesterday at the Science Museum of Minnesota. It was really fun. We both decided we should do the same case. So u start off by watching a video with the executive producer, Anthony Zuiker and a couple of people from the show. Then we go to the crime scene (there are 3 different cases) and we got the one called No Bones About It. It was about bones in the desert and by figuring out the hair and the seeds and the bullet from the victim's gun that shot him, we figured out his ex wife killed him. It was a ton of fun in the exhibit. We got to watch videos and see all sorts of stuff from the show. They had the head supervisor's, Gil Grissom, office there and from the 7th season, the miniatures from the miniature killer that was prominent in that season. It was really awesome!! After CSI, we had lunch then went to the omnitheater and saw a movie called the Mysteries of the Great Lakes. It was mostly about a group of guys trying to save the sturgeon but they talked about shipwrecks and they showed the Edmund Fitzgerald. I didn't see Marquette but they did mention Presque Isle so that was cool. We looked at the rest of the exhibits and then went home. We had a great time!! Would easily go again!!!

One of the Coolest Things I have ever done!!

Tonight, I got to meet one of my fave writers, Nicholas Sparks at the Mall of America. He was signing his latest book, The Lucky One. So i got in line WAY in the back and talked to some nice ladies while we waited. One of them was telling me about her trip to NYC. So that was really cool. Mom managed to get some pics of him while he was answering questions. It was great to finally meet him and he was about the nicest guy in the world. A great priviledge and honor to finally meet one of my favorite writers. Here are some pics! Enjoy all!!

A Fun Dinner Tonight!!

Well mom and i had a fun dinner tonight. When she picked me up from work, i was starving. So i started to name off some places but mom said what about sonic? I think it opened in savage not too long ago. So i thought that was a great idea cause i have heard from people that it is good. So we went there and you can either do the drive thru or do the drive in. We decided to do the drive in so we could do something a little different. Once we decided what we wanted (they have a lot of choices) so we pushed the button to order. I got a cheeseburger with ketchup and lettuce, fries and a chocolate malt and mom got a grilled chicken sandwich with tater tots and a sprite. It was really cool because they deliver the food on roller blades and bring it straight to you in your car. Food was great and i am glad mom and i had a unique experience for dinner for once. I highly recommend sonic to anyone who wants to go. Great food and great experience. I enjoyed it thoroughly!!
