Friday afternoon, B and I had the pleasure of visiting the Museum of Science thanks to a pair of complimentary tickets. It was an incredibly fun day that stimulated both my adult interests and childhood fancies. Even after spending several hours wandering around, we left feeling like there was so much more we could have seen and done.

The most fascinating exhibit was, certainly, "A Day in Pompeii," which gives a glimpse into the city through hundreds of artifacts, from household items to body casts of victims of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. The exhibit was so incredible that it really deserves its own post, so stay tuned for that tomorrow. Until then, enjoy some of my favorite photos from the rest of the museum!

We saw a chick poke right out of his egg, while a little girl watched and screamed, "I'm a potato!"

  16. I'm a potato?! What a silly little girl! That looks like a WAY better science museum than the one we have in Phoenix. I would have passed on the human birth thing for sure though haha.

  17. I have been meaning to go to the Pompeii exhibit- for some reason the story has always fascinated me, even as a kid (yes I was totally morbid;).
