For those of you who&#8217;ve known me all my life, well, you&#8217;re probably not going to be surprised.<\/p>\n<p>So Brian and I had been planning on taking his parents to the Kansas Cosmosphere since <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=4215\" >our trip to the Kansas Underground Salt Museum last month<\/a>.  I&#8217;d never been to the Cosmosphere and it has been years for everyone else, so it seemed like a fun thing to do.  We told them that they just needed to clear one Saturday for us and we would pick them up, do the driving, and all that jazz.  Just like we did the last time.<\/p>\n<p>Since I&#8217;m a little neurotic, I emailed the following itinerary to Brian yesterday.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div style=\"padding-left:50px; padding-top:15px; line-height:150%;\">\n1000        Pick up parents<br \/>\n1100        Lunch at Carriage Crossing<br \/>\n1200        Arrive at Cosmosphere<br \/>\n1300        Night Sky Live (Justice Planetarium)*<br \/>\n1400        IMAX Hubble*<br \/>\n1600        Dr. Goddard&#8217;s Lab*<br \/>\n1700        Head home<\/div>\n<p><em>* I have reserved tickets for the four of us for Night Sky Live, IMAX Hubble and Dr. Goddard&#8217;s Lab.  Dr. Goddard&#8217;s Lab is totally optional and we can cut this out if we decide that we&#8217;re tired or your parents don&#8217;t feel up to it and want to go home early.  <\/p>\n<p>There are two shows in the IMAX &#8212; Hubble and Legends of Flight.  Our all-day pass only includes one IMAX movie.  The person I spoke with said that the Hubble one was cooler so I picked that one.  If you guys decide that you want to see the Legends of Flight, we can do it for $6 extra each person. There is a 3:00 pm show that we can watch right after the Hubble one.  <\/p>\n<p>I figured that we can check out the Hall of Space Museum either before our first show or right after our IMAX show (if we decide to skip Legends of Flight).<\/p>\n<p>When we head back, we can either take your parents home or they can go with us to my parents for dinner.  What do you think?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There&#8217;s something very, very wrong with me.  I don&#8217;t know how Brian puts up with it.  Maybe because he is a tad on the anal side also?<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Here&#8217;s a better picture of Penelope to make up for t<a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=4413\" >he dark, crappy one that I posted the other day<\/a>.  Pictures really do not do her justice.
