We're the last leg on Jeff's mom's Grandma Tour 2012. Patti spends a few days each spring visiting all of her grandkids and I asked if she was having fun. She said she was, but she has to downplay the fun so that Pops doesn't feel left out. So whatever you do, DON'T TELL POPS WE WENT TO THE STAR TREK EXHIBIT AT THE SCIENCE CENTER TODAY.
He would be heartbroken if he knew we got to see so many original costumes and uniforms from every Star Trek series and movie. If he knew we got to see huge (like, size of my house huge) models of the Starship Enterprise, he would be really bummed. Never tell him that we saw original props like tricorders and communicators and Klingon weapons. Definitely don't tell him we got to sit on the bridge and say "Engage."
Whatever you do, don't tell Pops that we got to take a picture on the Transporter that looks like we're being beamed up.
Don't tell him we sat in Captain Kirk's chair and that there was a whole gift shop full of Tribbles and t-shirts.
Mum's the word.
9 Wisecracks:
nicely done. I won't say a word...except TRICORDERS!! That was the name!
What a blast....and from the PAST...so to speak! Glad you and Patti are having fun. I miss you Patti!!!!
So fun!! Patti is the best! p.s. love your header picture.
The people you shouldn't tell are Rob and Dad. I didn't even think about the little guys not having a clue about Star Trek. Definitely a blast from the past.
So jealous of Patti's grandma tour!
I have been wondering for quite some time how best to introduce star trek to my children. It is a bit deep for them, I think. Star wars is silly dialogue and fancy footwork. Star trek is in depth dialogue (in the next generation) and not so fancy footwork. I just don't think they would get it. Perhaps I should give them more credit.
That would have been an awesome museum tour. Bummer the kids didn't know how awesome it was. H looks pretty commanding in the head chair.
Harrison sat through the first hour of the pilot. It was all talky-talky. Then they took 20 minutes to separate the saucer section from the battle bridge. Not exactly riveting for an eight-year-old.
Mom, don't worry. I made sure to not tell Rob all about it on Facebook. Mwahahahaha
Notice that Mom goes to visit the grandkids. Yeah, I'm not bitter.
I was thinking about that, Amy. She rarely saw Jeff. It made me realize that in the future I'll be spending my time with Harrison's wife and children.
Seriously, they had a gift shop for it?!? Man, now I wish I had gone!! ...Awesome pics!!
