We got to visit the Pacific Science Center today, and it was so fun! They had all kinds of hands-on exhibits about the human body, how computers work, different kinds of insects, and many other things. They had two different IMAX theaters, and we saw a 3-D dinosaur movie in one. They also had a planetarium, but would not let us in because Adam was so young. They had a special presentation by some surgeons who run the new surgery robot. We got to see them sew up a split seam on a stuffed parrot inside a plastic dummy's chest. The technology is amazing! You should check them out at davincisurgery.com.


We saw the new dinosaur fossil exhibit, which was really interesting. The photos of the scientists and the huge bones they've uncovered were the best part.









We also got to go in their tropical greenhouse with millions of butterflies in it. We saw all kinds, and one even landed on my shoulder. Adam enjoyed himself as much as a little baby with fever-after-shots could.


Overall, it was a fantastically fun experience, and we wished we had longer to explore the Science Center. For anyone visiting Seattle, it is definitely on our must-see list!
