Brett and Sarah’s Adventures

Brett and I decided to explore downtown San Jose one Saturday and we ended up going to the San Jose Tech Museum. It also happened to be the first Saturday of the month, which means free museum entry to select museums if you have a Bank of America card, which we do. We have two. One free ticket for Brett and one free ticket for me!

We had a great time exploring the Tech. They had a lot of exhibits centered on what else but technology, which you know Brett loves. One section was on computers alone. He was almost as excited as a kid in a candy store. Just kidding, but we had a lot of fun. One thing we liked was a machine that could spell your name by picking up blocks with letters on them that were scattered randomly around it. Here is a video of it:

We also stood in a not so long line for quite a long time to get our picture taken and sketched by yet another cool machine (or robot as Brett calls it). The line was taking so long because the robot could only draw one picture at a time so we all had to wait for it to draw each individual person. Not only that, but you could preview the picture before you sent the information to the robot and lets just say some people thought it was a chance to take a glamour shot and rejected about 20 of their pictures before sending the “right one” to the robot. Brett and I decided to squish ourselves into the frame and take the picture together. It turned out great!

We also pretended we were lab technicians in lab coats.

At the end of our visit, we stopped at the gift shop–who can resist taking a gander at the cool and sometimes weird/random things you can find at a gift shop? We did find some weird things, but only bought some rock candy that I spilled all over myself when I tried to eat it in the car. You might ask how someone can manage to spill rock candy all over themselves when trying to eat it…just ask Brett. He watched me do it!
