We took a trip to the California Science Center on Sunday, 16 September 2011. It was a great trip for many reasons, but it was a looooong trip as well.
The first reason that it was a great trip was that everyone had a fun time learning about science. The next reason that it was a great trip was that our foreign exchange student, ZeeZee got to join us. Next, we we joined by Em & Nate for the day. Next, we were on time (or early) to every thing we wanted to see or everyone we wanted to meet (that doesn’t happen very often for our family). Last but certainly not least, Jeff & Jan (and YaYa for a bit) had Ro so that we were able to focus on the exhibits, knowing he was in good hands (not ours!).
While at the museum, we saw 2 IMAX 3D movies. I would recommend them both to anyone. 
After the first movie, Aunt Jan sent me a message to let me know that Ro was having a good time. 
The kids especially liked the dominos table where a whole bunch of domino trains could be constructed. We went back here at the end of the day at the kids’ request. 
Waiting for the 3D movie to start. Em is being super cool with her ‘shades’ on. 
Like I said, it was a long trip. Google calculates it at 228 miles, round trip, in 4.5 hours. We left home at about 7:45a, and got back at about 8:30p. Glad to have made the trip, and especially glad to be back home safe and sound.
