Ford is interested in Engineering, so the science museum was on his list. Since we had had a late night we didn't get started until after lunch.

There were lots of hands on things. Here, Ford is playing virtual percussion instruments.


This kind of place takes more than one afternoon to really explore, but we wandered through it all trying the things that looked interesting. Ford did a picture scan of himself that was then placed in a Mummy movie. We both went into the moving cylinder that demonstrated inertia. We couldn't walk in a straight line or throw a ball across the room (it took a wicked slice.)

Ford decided against the Geode, because the presentation would be in French, but we took his picture with it.



Stopped at the MonoPrix on the way home, so that Ford could choose something he would like for dinner. He picked creole chicken nuggets. Marie made seared fois gras with sauted apples and salad. We were humming with happiness. This was particularly apropos, since it will be illegal in California tomorrow.
