105. Sounds of Weekend

weekends. the end all too soon.....

this weekend chris and i were a) actually home and b) actually got out of the apartment and did things other than run errands - yay!

on saturday we headed over to the history center and saw a map exhibit that chris has been wanting to see for awhile. very interesting. they had a lot of old maps - chris's favorite - that show how people viewed the world throughout the years. my favorite was a map of the mississippi river that rolled up like a tape measure into a brass case.

we also went through 'if these walls could talk' exhibit. i first saw it with my mom years ago and then again on my first date with chris. if you live in the area and have not seen it - i highly recommend it. very cool.

later that evening we headed out to dinner at our favorite restaurant - tum-rup-thai - yummy! then it was off to orchestra hall for the minnesota orchestra's sampler concert. second time i've been there (the first was for the puppini sisters [check them out!] concert last month). it was a great evening of music and at a wonderful price - $15 for the both of us! while we couldn't afford to become members we do plan on going back around thanksgiving to see/hear hansel and gretel. i'm also really excited to see/hear the wizard of oz (part of their cinema program - you watch the movie on a large screen while the orchestra plays all the scores) - they did a sample of it that night and it was fantastic :)

yesterday we headed over to the science museum to see the omni film 'adventures in wild california' it was really good. skydiving. surfing. tree climbing. the only thing (suprisingly) that made me look away was people working on the golden gate bridge. walking up and down the big rigging. i cannot handle heights!

so there ya go. our weekend. :)
