Me:

Does everyone have their cell phone? I'm pretty sure we are gonna get split up.

MM:

Got mine. I guess the plan is to split into groups. Niece is with S_, grandpa is with me and nephew is with MJ.

Me:

Sweet, the buddy system. Ready to hit it buddy?

Nephew:

Yup.

Me:

All right, let's see. Over here is. Oooooh! Lookit that! That's a Viking lander! That is one of the first probes that they landed on mars.

Nephew:

Yeah, that's the camera and that's the scooper and that is the radio antenna.

Me:

Ooooh! Lookit that! They have Spaceship One here. That is the first privately owned spaceship. And it is right next to, ooooh lookit, it's the Spirit of St. Louis.

Nephew:

Hey, look at that.

Me:

Ooooh! That one is the first plane to go Mach 2. That's cool!

Later...

Me:

Oh wow, lookit that! That is a P-51.

Nephew:

That is a pretty fast plane.

Me:

Yeah! That is a pretty fast plane, it has one heck of an engine in it. And ooooh, lookit that! It's a Japanese zero.

Later...

Me:

Oh, check it out!. It's the Wright brothers plane. Cool! Do you know what this is?

Nephew:

Yeah, it's one of those old planes.

Me:

Not just any old plane, this is the first airplane ever. Oooh, lookit that.

Later...

Nephew:

Hey, it's a moon lander.

Me:

What? Where? Ooooh! Lookit that! That is so cool!

Later...

MM:

So how is your day going.

Me:

This is so cool! It's a total kid in a candy store day for me. I hope nephew is keeping up with me.

Nephew:

I am. Can we go see that galaxy thing next?

Me:

Oh yeah.
