Valentine's Day

Paul and I went to the Carnegie Science Center for Valentine's Day. It was actually pretty busy. We spent a lot of time just tooling around the exhibits, learning about bat wings and fluid dynamics and fish, but we also saw the omnimax movie "Under the Sea," which was awesome. It had sea dragons. It got a little preachy with the "stop global warming" message at the end, but it was still an enjoyable experience. Then we went to see "The Stars Over Pittsburgh," which was actually pretty informative. I might be able to add a couple new constellations to the few I can already spot. The last show we watched was at their science kitchen. It was about brains. We ended by eating jello brains. Yum.

For lunch, we ate at the cafe at the science center. The place was packed, so we retreated to the only open tables--out on the balcony overlooking the river. It was snowing, so we had the outside to ourselves. The metal chair was really damn cold, but it was nice to eat and look out over the water and watch the snow fall. Really romantic, actually.

For dinner, we walked to The People's Indian, which is always a good choice. It's a great place to eat. Then, we had fondue for dessert. Warm chocolate, with pound cake, bannanas, strawberries, blueberries, and caramel vanilla marshmallows. We watched Young at Heart with Dorris Day and Frank Sinatra.

Overall, it was a very good day.
