Exploratorium Excitement

Now that the girls are getting older (that is, old enough I don’t have to constantly chase them, corral them, or worry about them climbing random objects), I’m excited that we can go to fun museums like the Exploratorium in San Francisco.  It was our last hoorah in California, and it was a great capstone to our trip! 

Here are the girls with my parents and sister waiting for the BART train:

Grandpa led the way once we got into the city:

You never know what you’re going to see on the streets of SF – perhaps a roving band of bagpipers!

After a brief walk from the Ferry Building, we got to the museum’s new waterfront location:

The girls got right to work exploring every nook and cranny of the massive museum.

Even the cafeteria was typical off-beat San Francisco – who ever heard of water in a box?

Although most of the scientific explanations went over their heads, the girls still enjoyed playing with all the exhibits.  And so did I!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day in the city!
