A Day at the Museum

Marina and I had planned to go to the Zoo today. Unfortunately, when we arrived it was so busy we couldn't even find a parking place, so we quickly changed our plans and went to the Museum instead.

We started our day in the space exhibit, one we hadn't visited in a long time. It was crowded with school field trips, but Marina managed to get a chance to try her favorite exhibits. She even got a chance to try a new game where she controlled a Mars landing.

We went into the Kids play area which was considerably quieter. Marina pretended to unearth a dinosaur skeleton and saw a tornado demonstration. She was having so much fun she didn't want to stop for lunch.


After we ate, we went to the health exhibit, Marina's favorite. It was also pretty crowded, but Marina didn't seem to mind waiting for any of it. However, since we go there nearly every time we go to the Museum, I talked her into looking at other exhibits.

So, we went to the dinosaur exhibit. Marina had very clear ideas of what was worth her time and what was not. Following that, she wanted to see the Native American exhibit. A few changed had been made there, all of which we noticed.

We'd had a good day at the Museum, but we were tired. And to treat ourselves, we stopped for ice cream on the way home.
