HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

I know this is going to be late. Sorry!!!! But HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, my little brother is now 30. Doesn't seem possible does it?

While we were on vacation, Aaron called and said "You want to know what the BEST birthday gift you can give me is? Take me to the Science and Industry Museum in Chicago to see the Body Worlds 2 exhibit on April 28.".. In case you don't know what that is.... It's an exhibit of over 20 whole-body plastinates... In other words.. Dead bodies posed for our "entertainment".. Yes, that is where AARON wants to go for his birthday. So, where Aaron goes, we ALL go... LOL.

This is the very last weekend for it, and tickets are selling out FAST. I checked on the S&I website,(Thank goodness I checked. Was only going to get prices. LOL) and because of high demand, the hours of this exhibit is being extended... 9:30 AM to 10 PM every day. The museum itself closes at 5. And starting on Friday the exhibit will be open 24 hours a day from 9:30 Friday morning until the last tour on the 29Th.

Since this is what Aaron wants (which he hardly EVER asks to take him anywhere.), I didn't want to run the chance of it being sold out. So, I had to make sure exactly who's going. Didn't know if one of Austin's friends was planning on joining us or not.. I know Ashley can't go due to obvious reasons. (Wish you could go with us sis). I called Aaron to see about Chris, but she has a wedding that day. So it's just mom, dad, the brothers, and me.
Anyway, I went ahead and bought the tickets online last week, and mom and dad are supposed to pay me back. I've never bought tickets online before, and this is WEIRD!!! I paid for them, and had to print them out. Each person's "ticket" (looks like something you print off from eBay. Nothing special.) has two boxes on the paper. Those boxes are the bar codes. If you try to make copies it won't work, and it will come up "invalid" when scanned. It will also come up invalid if the bar codes have been folded or wrinkled. I can't figure out HOW you can print off bar codes from your home printer, and not be able to copy it... Amazing... What will they think of next?
