Just wanted to share some pics that my Brother-in-Law took on a recent trip to the museum. It was his first trip there, and I think he took some great shots! I was jealous. I didn't even know he was going. It's been well over 20 years since I have been myself. :(

NICE photos, i got to go last summer. SUPER GREAT Museum, but only took a couple of pics, because i'm a lousy at it. i'm glad there are folks like your brother-in-law who do it well. thanks for posting.

Sounds like a good reason for a family roadtrip in your coupe....it's not that far from Chicago.

Haha, except the entire family won't fit in the coupe. :lol: I have driven it to Cleveland though, so it knows it's way around Ohio. ;)

I've been plotting taking my son. Of course he's not quite 2 yet. So even if I wait until he's 4, he still may not be old enough to appreciate it. Maybe I need to talk the wife into a solo trip. :lol:
