Star Wars Exhibit at the Tech Museum

Today was a staff development day. I figured it was a good time to visit the Star Wars exhibit at the Tech Museum in San Jose. The boys are mildly obsessed with Star Wars. Caleb knows the basic storyline mainly from playing Angry Bird Star Wars. Both Caleb and Lucas act out fighting scenes with pretend light sabers. It was cool to see costumes and models from the movies. The boys were excited to see models of the characters. I was able to take pictures but was not able to use flash and so a lot of my pictures turned out dark. There was a hands on area where Caleb got to build an R2D2 like robot and program it to go forward/left/right/backward. We also got a ticket for the Millennium Falcon experience. It basically was sitting in a replica cockpit of the spaceship and in front of a big screen that simulates being in space. It was a cool exhibit and if you're a big fanatic of the Star Wars movies a must see. All things end up in the gift shop and the boys picked out a Yoda and CP30 Angry Bird stuffed toy to add to their collection. It was a fun way to spend a no school day.
