Gah I wish I could go

[Second Star]

That is definitely one of the benefits of living close to the Museum. I certainly don't get to go to Disneyland as often as I would like, but I was at the Museum twice last month, and we'll be there Monday evening for a members event.

My only complaint... I have yet to get through the final gallery without tearing up.
