Sigh, wish Dash was a museum lover...that science museum looks a bit like the Exploratorium in SF, the only museum kiddo has ever loved. :P Glad you guys got so much out of the trip!
LOL! Facebook has been bad for me as well. We should connect there. Email me if you are interested (many have complained that they can't "find" me). :o)
I love the museums! Especially the National Film and Sound Archive. I love learning the background on how films are made, especially effects. I suppose I'm just a movie junkie at heart!
Peace and Laughter!
Suji - yes, Questacon is a lot like the Exploratorium. So you can see why Billy loves it :)
Cristina - I found you and sent you a friend request!
