DMI's Community Weekend - Superbowl Edition!

I love Superbowl Sunday! It's a great time to gather with family and friends, eat junk food, drink beer, and scream at the television. If the big game isn't your style, there's something else on TV that might even be better. The PUPPY BOWL on Animal Planet! Quite possibly one of the cutest things I have ever watched.

However, if you want something else to do this weekend, I suggest the Tech Museum. The first full weekend of every month (which is this weekend!), if you are a Bank of America cardholder, you get one free admission to all the regular galleries when you show your Bank of America credit or check card and a photo ID.

There are lots of things to see and do there, such as the Invention of Play exhibit. This exhibit was "developed by the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History." This is a hands on exhibit that allows people to play with traditional toys that have been infused with 20th century technologies.

There is also a traveling exhibit called Body Worlds Vital. This exhibit requires separate admission. Prices for this and the hours of the exhibit can be found on the website (link below). If you have never seen a Body Worlds exhibit before, it is definitely a must. I have yet to see this particular exhibit but I went to one a few years ago and I must say that it was quite the experience. It may not be for everyone however, so check out the information on the website for details.

Visit the website for information on these exhibits and everything else at The Tech:  http://www.thetech.org/

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and takes advantage of the wonderful spring like weather! Granted, I'll be indoors aww-ing at the puppies and cheering for the Packers! ;)

  1. I can't WAIT for the big game. It's going to be a great competition. They're so evenly matched this year. May the best puppy win!
