Last Trip to the Science Center - So Sad

With our free Pacific Science Center Pass, with an expiration date of August 30th, 2009, we made one last venture to the Science Center August 29th. It was really kind of sad for Walter and I because we had, had a really good year at the Center and really used the pass as well as handed it out to friends and family so they could enjoy the center as much as we do. We wanted to make this one last trip really count and so we bused it into the city and hit all our favorite spots.


We were sure to go to the Tiny Tots area where, like a whirling dervish, Padon ran from room to room playing with all the well known toys, played in the water trough, and kicked a girl (on purpose) in the chest twice in the block tunnels. We spent a long time running around and around in the Dinosaur room and stopped to pause and watch the Dinosaur movie that I grew up with and my immediate family knows so well we can repeat for verbatum almost the entire script.

We had lunch in the Center House and stopped in at the Animal Grossology exhibit which Padon and I had been to but Walter had not. Padon was finally able to see and interact with some of the exhibits that had been all but inaccessible the last time we had gone which turned out to be opening day.

And after eye balling the 3rd room we went and played with the water features in the central courtyard of the Science Center. It was kind of a full circle of Science Center activities as we did almost everything we had done the first day we had gone which was on my birthday last year.

We are sorry to be done with the Science Center but think that were we to purchase a pass that we might do the Zoo this next year. I'll have to figure out the bus schedule but that could be a year of fabulous experiences too.
