While Toben played golf yesterday (and shot a 79--his lowest round ever!) the girls and I headed to the Arizona Science Center to see the Titanic exhibit.
Yes, it's the same one that just left Denver. But though Audrey saw it on a field trip with her class, I never managed to get there. So I was excited to have a second chance. The exhibit is wonderful--if it comes to a town close to you, go see it!
As you enter, you're handed a boarding pass for an actual Titanic passenger and it's fun to look for anything that mentions your identity as you go through the exhibit. I loved reading the stories about various passengers and seeing the artifacts collected. Clothes, dishes, even papers that are still legible. It's incredible. They have staterooms set up, menus of meals served aboard, an even an iceberg you can touch.
The rest of the museum was fun too--though a little sparse. Seems like much of the museum was empty. It was fun to see how a house is built and play with design software, plumbing pipes, and circuits. And they did have some fun and very hands-on stuff related to the human body.
And while it's not as warm as we'd like here, it is warm enough for flip flops. So considering there's snow in Denver, we're pretty content!
I am very happy for you that you are having a great time with the girls....the Science Center sounds very interesting....I hope it comes to Dallas....
Keep having fun...
Take care

What pretty toes! I can't wait for flip-flop weather here! I live in them during the summer! Sounds like you all had fun!

The Titanic exhibit sounds like something my girls and I would really enjoy...I'll have to keep a look out for it.
Love that toe picture!
