California Science Center

I love our family adventures. This time we decided to visit the California Science Center, neither of us had ever been except for the Bodies exhibit. We still can't believe it is free! After looking at a friends pictures on their Facebook page of the museum, I wanted to go instantly.

Here Kaleb and I are picking up a truck!

The part of the museum we visited was called Eco Systems.

There was a desert room, had animals and was actually pretty warm inside, A room interactive for the kids about trees, and the best part were the aquariums!

Kaleb's tree he drew all by himself.

Bryce 6 weeks old.

Kaleb on a snowmobile, they actually had a wall of ice in the room that you could touch.

The underwater walk in tunnel.

After visiting makes you appreciate all the things this beautiful earth has.

We finished off with a nice healthy lunch. We had the choice between Taco Bell, McDonald's and a little Cafe. Glad we chose the Cafe.

We then headed over to The African American Museum, which was also free and interesting.

In one particular room it was themed around slavery. There were tons of letters former slaves have written, from ceiling to floor in this cabin like thing. in the middle of the room was a slave statue with a chain around her neck.

And too the side were molds of slaves chained to each other simulating the boat ride to America.

There sleeping quarters were very small.

Curious Kaleb asked question after question.

"Daddy why does that lady have a chain around her neck?"

Jason had to pull Kaleb aside and explain what happened.

"Daddy what's a slave?" Kaleb asked in a very loud voice.

oh dear.

I am grateful for his curiosity and eagerness to learn.

We then headed over to the Air and Space museum, also free!

What a fun and long day we had.
