papermint tiger
they wouldn't be impressed if i fucked off to go spend time at a con lol
timeywimey
it depends what they're into
papermint tiger
yeah, my grandparents lived in Arlington Heights, so we have been to them A Lot
papermint tiger
the Field Museum remains one of my favorites because you can see something new no matter how many times you go
papermint tiger
but i also love fish so the Shed is on the table but also the question is if we can get into it in a reasonable period of time
timeywimey
they all have pop up exhibits now
papermint tiger
also i haven't been to... what is it, Science and Industry? in such a long time
papermint tiger
...oh huh. I don't know what that means
timeywimey

timeywimey
also you need to pay for basically everything at Science including the Coal Mine
papermint tiger

papermint tiger
that was fun, as a kid. Not sure i'd like it now lol
timeywimey

papermint tiger
well i'll talk to my parents and see what they want to do, if i'm driving three hours down and my brother is driving whatever hours up and my sister is coming all the way from Virginia, we should at least go to a museum
