Oh... WOW!!!  I soooo wish we were going to have the time and money to see this while we're down there!!!  I'm trying to find the other locations where it will be, but the #)$% connection keeps getting reset, and it won't open the page!  Aaaarrrrrggg!!!  

Scally is particularly fascinated by the story of John King, the 11 y/o boy who "went on the account", and I'm not sure if I should be pleased by her curiosity... or worried that she's thinking of running off to sea!  Of course, what kid worth their salt doesn't dream of becoming a PIRATE?!?  :D  

Still, I was hoping that being a LandShark would be enough to hold her to the shore for a while longer, at least!  ;)

This exhibit sounds marvelous, and I can't wait to hear reviews of those of you who get to attend!!!  


Oh, just as an aside... anyone notice that the Google logo for today is a Pirate vignette?  heheh
