Visit to Griffin Museum of Science & Industry (Nov 2)

We FINALLY made it to the Science and Industry Museum!  The James Bond exhibit was going on and my sister was in town too, so both good excuses to go check it out! Here's the crew :-)

Charlie is getting even more cheeky these days:

Bobby - thinking he is 007 :-D

So many fancy cars!

I'm surprised they didn't kick Bobby out.  Well, okay - he didn't exactly touch it but it was pretty close!

My sis and I - ha ha, with the big, huge train in the background:

Looks like they are getting ready for Christmas on this other side:

If I didn't say it, I'm going to say it again - that train is HUGE!! It's amazing how they put the airplanes in here too:

This quote is pretty funny.  It's like something Graham would do. LOL!

Charlie is working on a disguise:

Talk about a massive miniature train set:

Like.... really MASSIVE!!

There was a entire floor where the boy could touch anything and everything.  Well, almost everything:

It's too bad this Newton's cradle was in enclosed behind glass:

And all Daddy wanted to do was to see this airplane:

I think he is much happier now :-P

Didn't get a chance to look in this spot. Well, good thing we have a membership now, so we can come back anytime!

This hall of mirrors was pretty cool.  Almost feels like you could totally get lost in it!

And it was definitely advisable to actually walk with your hands in front of you, because you could almost walk straight into a mirror without knowing it.  A couple kids (thankfully not mine!) were running around. Sheesh!

Pretty amazing with the geometric shapes in here:

Here's a quick video:

Phew, now that that is over... it's time to check out that one floor again - where you can touch everything.  

Graham LOVES these free-flowing sand thingys:

You spin the wheel and the entire thing spins and moves the sand along with it.  It is pretty mesmerizing.

And a funnel cloud - who doesn't like a funnel cloud!  It's too bad it was already closed. You can actually go stand right underneath it.  Next time!

And finally, a Tesla coil.  This is the largest one that I've seen.  And super loud too!!

Graham took a slow-motion video.  Click on the link before to check it out. It's super cool!!

What a museum! Definitely going to make an effort to come back at least once or twice more :-)
