Corrine has been wanting to go to the Griffith Observatory for some time. She finally decided to put it on the calendar. She sent out an e-mail and invited a bunch of people. It ended up being Natasha, Tracilee, Corrine & I. In the 20 years I have lived here I have never been. It was a great experience. Unfortunately the telescope was closed because it was a cloudy evening and the cloud cover wouldn't allow us to see anything. We watched a movie about the history of the stars, etc. It was in an IMAX theatre and was great. The chairs allowed you to lay back as we watched. They did a nice job. There was a neat area where you could see information about each of the planets. (I think it is ridiculous they don't include Pluto with the planets. However, Pluto was at this display! :)) In each area you could weigh yourself on the planet. I don't really enjoy weighing myself on this planet, but I couldn't resist this and so I did. I think I would enjoy living on Mercury or Pluto for weight issues. :)
After the observatory we went to dinner at BJ's. I had the wonderful BBQ chicken salad. It is SO yummy! Thanks to the recommendation of Tracilee we all split one of the desserts they are famous for - BJ’S FAMOUS PIZOOKIE® Their menu says "You’re never too old to enjoy our freshly baked, hot out of the oven, rich and delicious cookie topped with two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream and served in its own deep dish. Your choice of chocolate chunk, white chocolate macadamia nut, peanut butter or oatmeal raisin walnut."
