Day 271 - Jim Gaffigan & The Science Center
Monday, September 29, 2008
After a brunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, we went to the St. Louis Science Center this morning for their Engineering Day. We definitely need to bring the kids back for it next year. They had all kids of cool robots, engineering schools, and engineering companies displaying some of their most innovative products. While at a math booth, I also met another homeschool mom who has a math whiz like Rachael. She, too, used Singapore and loved it.
For dinner, we found a Persian restaurant that was only about 2 miles from the Fox Theater. My dinner was awesome! I had the joojeh (jujeh) chicken kabobs with saffron basmati rice. Jeff usually gets the kubideh (ground beef) kabobs, but instead chose ground chicken which had sort of a potted meat consistency. We left the restaurant with about 40 minutes to spare, yet were 15 minutes late. We got stuck in a huge traffic jam. There was an environmental "go green" street fair which ironically caused a huge bottleneck and greenhouse gases galore!
Jim Gaffigan was so funny! He's Jeff's favorite comedian, and he didn't disappoint. The photo above is the only one that I was able to take before I was banned. (apparently no photography is allowed) Jeff laughed at the photo because Jim does a comedy bit about being so pale. As a matter of fact, one of his cds is entitled "Beyond the Pale." I guess the photo was fitting since he's glowing!
After the show, we were stuck in the parking garage for so long that as soon as we got out, we went to the nearest drugstore to use the restroom. When we returned to our car, it wouldn't start. Fortunately, we were able to start it again after several minutes. We drove straight back to the hotel, shut it off, and tried unsuccessfully to start it again...
The photos above are of our hotel room and the lobby.
