When we first get there we have dinner. There was pizza, lasagna, bread, and salad. It was actually pretty good food for food that had to be cooked by the hundreds. As we eat dinner there are "exhibits" walking around. A Pharaoh actually are bread off the plate of a girl sitting at our table! A Queen actually came over an talked to Samantha. The Queen asked Samantha if she was a Princess. I said "Of course!". Samantha even had a pair of jeans on that night that said "Princess" on them. :-)After dinner we just walked around the 3 floors of exhibits to see who we could run into. As we found people, it was Marc's job to ask them their name and what year it was. Everyone there did a great job of staying in character. At one point we walked up to a paleontologist, asked him what his name is, what he did, and what year it was. Just as he was answering a bunch of other characters walked by and they all started arguing about what year it was. It was pretty comical! When Marc got the camera out, the Queen in red said "I learned tonight that if you say 'cheese', that thing in his hand will flash an take a 'picture' of you." SO much fun to see them people really getting into their characters. Many of the actors were the same ones as last year.
The museum has a carousel in it. Usually you have to pay something like $2 each to ride, but it was open for free, so we decided to ride. We actually ha a group of about 5 Civil War soldiers riding the carousel with us!
We spent about 3 hours there and the tickets cost $20 each. I think we well got our money's worth! It is so much fun! We even used some of our Marriott points to book a room at the JW Marriott hotel right across the bridge! So when we left, all we had to do was walk across the bridge to our nice, warm, hotel room. Fun, family night!
