Maryland's Place in Space

First off, Happy Birthday to Leslie. really what better gift than a nod in my blog?

Last night Peter and I went to an event at the maryland space center celebrating maryland's place in space. We showed up and got some heavy h'orderves. Crab cake sundae bar for peter, make your own taco stations, and lots of cheese. The best was the open bar with grey goose.

We also got to walk around the exhibits. The funniest part was I looked over to the dinosaur part and could have sworn one of them was moving! Peter laughed at me, but then we got there and sure enough, mixed in with the still ones were a couple scary animatronic dinosaurs. Oh, and the name of the exhibit? Chinasaurus.

They then had us all go into the Imax for some speeches and videos. Three Astronauts, one undersecretary of NOAA, One VP of lockheed, and one head of goddard later it was time for the surprise guest, Christopher Scolese, the acting head of nasa. When he walked out peter leaned over to me and goes "that is the king of the nerds". Its true.

Oh also someone's phone rang mid speeches and it was the star wars imperial march. Of course.

It was a fun night, if not a bit nerdy, but thats ok :)
