Campus with the family


Nothing groundbreaking here, but last weekend I took the opportunity to do a little exploring around MIT with my family.  I usually just see the buildings in which I have class, Tiffany and Kayla don't generally see much of campus, and sometimes it's fun to just do a little exploring as there is so much going on.  One of the highlights was the gauntlet of asteroids in the green building, where the department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences is housed.  ET was hanging out at his summer home on the pink asteroid, but the Millennium Falcon was nowhere to be found.



Later we went to the HallowMIT party that the Institute held for all of the student families.  Kayla got dressed up as a little monster, tried a little cotton candy, got a balloon, had a lot of fun and was subsequently scared to death by Tim the Beaver (MIT's mascot).  He was dressed up as some kind of Zorro/Vampire - hopefully next time Kayla sees him the scarring will have subsided.
