Science Museum

Because Aunt Linda wasn't able to make it down for the fair, she scheduled a trip for later the next week. She came in last night and is going to stay for a couple of days and then leave on Thursday. As a fun thing to do while she was here, we took a trip to the science museum.

The museum was HUGE! It is almost impossible to understand just how big it is by looking at a picture. The dome ceiling in the center just stretches up and up!

We got to go to an IMAX theater for the first time. They were showing a movie about the volcanoes that are around the world. It was excellent. :-)

There were a ton of science exhibits, but what do you expect...after all it is a science museum!

As a special exhibit, a room in the museum had been set aside for a Hubble telescope display.

And just because the museum used to be a train station, everyone had to take a minute to pose in front of one of the trains.

If you asked, you were allowed to ride an electrical scooter. I cannot remember what the exact name of it is right now, but it was quite unique. It was able to balance itself and to go forward or backwards you had to lean in different directions. While I was riding it, I was worried that I would crash into something or someone. Now that would have been embarrassing. :-o

And one final picture of us...
