Took Elise with me to help out, went to the CMOM. I'd wanted to see their new exhibit for a while.
That is one crowded museum. Oh, I knew it would be, on a Sunday, but still! Wow. We only went to the one exhibit, because I really, really, really didn't want to troop us all up and down the museum.
And it's a good little exhibit. I may go more often. Just... not on a weekend. Certainly not on a weekend without another adult. Elise was a huge help, but all the same - an adult and a teenager for three kids? NOT ENOUGH. I know that now.

All in all, it's a nice museum. If you're in the area, I really reccommend it. But I don't plan on making the trip all that often at the moment.
We went to lunch at Homer's Malt Shop, because it was pretty inexpensive. Of course, considering that Elise and I ordered burgers instead of hot dogs, and we had three orders of fries between us, and we each got a dessert, it added up anyway, but that was all. But our server was... I don't know. Like, other people got their food, but not us or the people on either side of us (who had him as their waiter). And we got ours only when we asked for it, then we got it right away - cold. Clearly, it had been made, and he never brought it to the table. I *did* leave a tip, but only because I'd like to go back there at some point in the future - not because his lazy ass deserved it. I certainly didn't tip as much as I would do as a default.
