One of my good friends invited me to go with his family to The Leonardo's "Body Worlds" last night so I jumped on the bandwagon and went with them. Everything was so interesting! It had everything from the process of plastination, to the indepth explanation of the circulatory, respiratory, and cardiovascular system. They define every muscle group with plasticized "specimens" (people who were actually once alive and have all the fat and water in the body replaced with liquid plastic in their veins to hold the structure) and they explain the differences between a healthy and a diseased organ. There were the different phases of a baby fetus through the first 8 weeks of it's life and stories and quotes behind all of the organs of the body. I'm still in awe about most of it. The most random thing they had at the exhibit was a camel sliced in 3 pieces so you could see everything inside. It was crazily insanely cool. If you haven't gone, GO. It was worth every penny! After Body Worlds (which took us about 2 hours or so to go through, just be forewarned, it's a long exhibit), we went out to eat at The Mayan. Everything was top notch yumminess, even the spicy salsa was worth eating! I was so full I'm pretty sure I rolled out to the car. Here's some pictures from the night (sorry, but no pictures were allowed inside the exhibit)...
It was a long car ride squished between the Young boys...
The only time he didn't have his beanie on...
This kid drank 5 glasses of punch and Sprite... nutter.
All of the food was good quality if you minus the fries. They weren't crunchy like fries should be (they were more like rubber) so, as you can see, we found another purpose for them.

We love the Mayan. The kids love to see the divers there. It's a fun place. I bet Body Worlds was amazing too!
