Christmas Week Part 2 - The Alspaughs

Once we said goodbye to Justin's family, we got to turn around and welcome mine!

We only had about a day and a half with them so there were fewer adventures but we still got to take in downtown Sunnyvale and Mountain View.

And, most importantly, we got to go here:


This is a huge museum detailing the last 2000 years of computing history, from the abacus to the debate between PCs or Macs.  My dad collects old computers, components, and other paraphernalia related to the development of computers so he actually has some of this stuff in his collection too but other things are really one-of-a-kind and really a special treat to see.  Even if you're not a huge computer nerd (we can't all be...), it's fun to see how much of the "history" you once owned (PalmPilot? Apple Newton? 3 1/2 inch floppy disk?).

Remember these?
