I was the chaperone for Jackson and Oliver, who with a great group of friends had an overnight at the Museum of Science. This meant sleeping bags, etc. but complete access to the museum, a electric show with the Van der Graf generator, a Mugar movie (caves), and all in all a great and entertaining time. We actually got some sleep!
Here are some photos of the event.

 |

After every one beaded down, I got up at 4:30 and roamed the museum.
Quite deserted in some areas, and silent.
