I guess the first thing we need to decide is if we're going opening day or waiting until Thanksgiving or Christmas? If I can figure out how to swing the cost, I may go twice. Once on opening day (I still want to go to a museum on opening day. lol) and once when we decide to go.

Oh that reminds me! I was going to call and see if they would knock a few dollars off the price if we didn't go to the planetarium. *writes a mental note to write a real note to call this week*

*Writes a mental not to tell Starkat that people usually misplace mental notes*
I dont the we should go opening day because it'll be too crowded, same with holidays, what about the middle of next month when everyone has HW, work and relaxing to do?

oh man that would be fun! i have college though.

The only day I can go now is on a Saturday, so it would still be on the weekend. If we do choose to do it during the school semester, I'm thinking of 1 or 2 in the afternoon. That way if people want to come in that morning, they can. Its also early enough that if people want to head home that day, they can.

I'll try and make that phone call tomorrow or Monday and ask. I just got a new job and I've finally started to settle in so life's becoming a bit less crazy.

ya, if i went, I would either have to go during Christmas break (prolly not a good idea) or one saturday.... since I have college to worry about the rest of the time.

yeah, thats what I mean, some people have Homework or extra unfinished work to do on weekends and dont get to take they're kids out to places, or the other way around where the kids dont get to make they're parents take them places cuz they're soooo bored (I didnt realize you were in Texas, Eruce... I'll have to PM you about which side your on... lol)

let us know when you find out, starkat.

Bother. No joy. We're stuck with the price unless we can get a group of 20 or more.

For those of you in college, have y'all found out when your first round of tests are? Or is it second by that point of the semester. If we do decide to do it earlier than Christmas, maybe we can at least plan it after or between test cycles so it won't be so hard to take the day to come.

Right now for me it seems to be every 3 weeks.. give or take.

There's got to be 20 people from Texas around here.

Maybe my family can go depending on when you decide to go. That's 6 of us if we can all go. And if we do it during Christmas break I might even get my older brother who is coming down to Texas to visit to come and that would be 7 more.

Starkat, (and everyone else), did yall realize that this is at the new Museum of History in Sugarland? NOT the one in the Museum District.

This is on the other side of Houston for me... for those who don't know where Sugarland is, it's on the South side.

I didn't realize that at first.

Eru, its not history, its Science, I think its the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land http://www.hmns.org/education/sugar_land.asp?r=1

I might get my mom and a brother or two to come, possibly a sister or two, at the most I'll bring 6 or 7, maybe even an aunt or uncle that lives in Houston if we turn it into a full fledged family trip for a couple of days!

EDIT: It would be great if we could go before the 17th of October because My iPod is having issues and thats when my warranty ends

*sigh* I was BORN in Houston! But we moved a year ago. I was so upset when I saw that the exhibit was going to be in Houston...
*sobbing* "And we're not THERE!!! I MISS TEXAS!!"

Honestly, my homesickness just wrenched my stomach worse than ever when I read that!

hehe you're right, AJ. *duh*

Sorry to hear that Lady Courage. I'd miss texas too if I weren't here.
