dealing with that much family for so long can be a little exhausting for me.... but the food was great, and going everywhere on the subway was crazy.

yeah, I guess that was on Thursday. you know term 'EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP'?
They had some cool HP stuff, but it weren't cheap.

also, from a parental point of view, the exhibit had nothing to do with education whatsoever. Pure fandom and commercial-ness. but cool.
