Body Worlds 3

Yesterday, after Logan got home from school, we took the "boys" to see Body Worlds 3 at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. We had every intention of taking Logan to see it before Liam was born, but Liam decided he did not want to be left out of this once in a lifetime opportunity. This is the last weekend the exhibit will be here in Houston. Body Worlds 1 is in ST Paul, MN until December 3rd, and Body Worlds 2 is in Boston, Massachusetts until January 7th. After these dates, you will have to go to Germany to view the permanent exhibit.

We really enjoyed the exhibit. Logan was worried that he would be extrememly creeped-out, and have nightmares, but he ended up intrigued by the ability to see inside the body in various poses. He especialy liked "Horse and Rider." William and I liked the "Poker Playing Trio." William noticed immediately that one of the corpse's hand was a "dead man's hand," consisting of a full house with aces and eights. A woman next to us explained that this particular exhibit was designed specifically for Houston. The hand was indeed a dead-man's hand. She also pointed out one of the corpse's passing an ace under the table to another player with his foot.

After the museum, we had dinner at Miyako's. Liam slept through dinner, and William, Logan and I ate our weight in sushi! William and I sampled sake called Black and Gold. I thought it tasted like Vodka, and William thought it tasted like candy...hmmmm, how did our opinions differ so much! We ended with dessert. Logan had chocolate mousse cake, William, the bananas tempura and ice cream, and me...Godiva chocolate cake!!! Yummy!
