Well, Hello!

 Yesterday, we took a drive downtown to visit the Hello Kitty exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum.  

 It was Hello Kitty overload.

Even little Ben is taller than the real Hello Kitty.

 I only have two Hello Kitty backpacks.  At this exhibit, I learned that there are so many others out there.

Hey, a Kitty mash-up with Elmo!  Cool! 

 Hmmm, this is an interesting interpretation.

 There were so many Hello Kitty products to look at.  Too bad none of them were for sale.

Outside the museum, there were special Hello Kitty activities.  Here, we're waiting patiently for cotton candy.

Ben went all in with the Hello Kitty crown.

Eventually, a Hello Kitty impersonator graced us with her presence.  I knew she wasn't the real Hello Kitty, because I'd learned earlier that the real one is only five apples tall.  Did they think we wouldn't remember that?
