The Museum Visit that Topped all Museum Visits
When I heard that a replica of the Millenium Falcon was on display at the Boston's Museum of Science and that we were moving back to the East Coast, I knew a trip up north would have to happen sooner than later. The perfect opportunity fell into our lap when Eric's commander okayed a trip to Boston's Yankee Dental so he could earn some continuing ed credits. Even better, it was a business trip so our lodging and mileage were covered.
A year ago when someone (mostly Colleen) would mention Star Wars I didn't really get it. I didn't dislike any of the movies, I just really didn't have much of an opinion. Then Eric bought the original three and we started watching them alot. He eventually brought home the next two and I started to really get into it. By this time my sons, especially Theo, were living and breathing Star Wars. I was actually looking forward to the release of the Revenge of the Sith onto DVD last November since I had missed it in the theater. Though Empire is my favorite.
The exhibit was so much fun. Not only do you get to sit inside the Millenium Falcon, you can see many of the original costumes on display. They had great exhibits on the engineering behind many of the machines in the movies and how they have inspired real technology.
