Photos and thoughts on my travels

All the weird cool things we fit into one day.

NOT a breakfast of champions. Way too sweet, even for me.
So I was kinda obsessed with the weird boat, so we took it!
All the way down to the south end of the river.
To the Museum of Emerging Science and Technology.
On the wall of the spiral, they have photos of all the astronauts annually from Yuri Gagarin through today. With lots of space to keep adding more.
Robots that interact
Zarah really needs a new dog.
Musical sculpture I think depicting that a butterfly flapping its wings changes the environment.
And an exhibit with things changing into other things.
And a very cool exhibit about aging and the upcoming technologies that will help. It had you go shopping with a list you could memorize, then it interrupts with a call to add more things and see if you can still get it right.
3-D movie about how the universe began and we are all stardust. It had a pause to contemplate that was at least 20 seconds. I haven’t seen that in film since forever. Our attention spans can’t handle it.
Toilet instructions
Also an option
Transformers!
People riding in go carts dressed up as pokeman characters! Zarah has really wanted to do this. It was the reason that spurred us to get our international driver’s license. I am very pleased to report that watching them go down the road felt satisfying and I don’t have to do it.
And the evening thing gets its own post

This was such a neat and action packed day.

    Yay, you took the weird boat!!! I find that pleasing — I would have wanted to as well. Breakfast does look like a little much. 😆 Interactive robots are creepy and must be destroyed. Aw, I love the 20-second pause to contemplate. I remember toilets feeling problematic when I was there. Ha, no Pokémon go-carts?? I guess you’ve made up for it with lots of other cool stuff.
