Finally

We finally made it to the Science museum. Unfortunately, I did not take into account the fact that many of the area schools were out this week which means that it was a little crowded. Honestly, I prefer the school groups when visiting a point of interest because they leave around 1:00, allowing us to have the run of the place for a couple of hours. But families? They stick around longer than we do. Thankfully, we have a family membership to the museum, so we will return when school is in.

We had a good time despite the crowds. The museum is divided into 6 different exhibits, each a self-contained room so that I felt comfortable giving the older three some freedom in wandering around. Surprisingly, the windows were the most interesting, fun places in one of the rooms.






There were a lot of other fun things to do as well. Like have a car race,


try to stack nails,


follow a ball through an obstacle course,


whack a dummy head with a huge mallet,


explore space,


form a square,


or draft a new invention.


But the kids all agree that their very favorite activity was the ball race, wherein the ball was powered by the mind.



Our day through science ended with a 3D movie on the journey the not yet released Boeing 787 has taken from dream to reality.


And my favorite moment? This one...by a mile.
