A day out in the big city. The approach was more interesting than the museum. We spent a couple of hours looking around. Frankly, it was sort of a snooze. Dear Husband and I both agreed, when you can guess who is funding the display, its a lot less like interacting with "science" and a lot more like being assaulted by advertising. Homeschool lesson: science has been corrupted by corporate funding. And my camera needed new batteries. But on with the show.

I thought the city-punks lounging around with their cat outside were more interesting. She had the best hair color--subtle, natural, pastel shades of absurd color matching her tattoos. Right on.

 The drive home, stopping at Whole Foods and the local bookstore, were a lot more fun and interesting for everyone. Don't get me wrong, the whole day was lovely. But I guess the big new research center is over hyped. And the museum of natural history held a lot more fascination at age 6 than now.
