We spent two days traveling home over the weekend to end the trip with some fun! We're members of the Pacific Science Center in Seattle used our ASTC Passport benefit to get in free to three awesome spots along the way home.
Hands up like the Lego sculpure at the Lego exhibit at the Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding, CA!
The fountain at the Children's Garden at the botanical gardens there
The boardwalk and bridge in infrared. We also got to see several animals, and play on the playground on our whirlwind stop at this incredible, large park.
Next stop... science Works in Ashland, OR! We especially had fun in their bubble room! They also had a lot of great hands-on physics experiments.
On the second day of our drive home, we made one big stop in Portland around lunch time to go to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry! They both spent the most time in the Science Playground area... lots of fun activities for toddlers. Maylee especially loved throwing the balls in this vortex and the other water play activities there.
The Turbine Hall. Lots of cool physics and engineering activities... more for older kids but there were still several exhibits that Ry Ry and Mei Mei enjoyed... including the paper airplanes and pretend cargo shipping area.
Bottle rockets (on a line)
Touching the propellor from the USS Blueback submarine in the OMSI courtyard
After a picnic lunch we hopped back in the car and rolled all the way home. Our first family road trip was a success! And we had so much fun, from the wedding, to San Francisco, to our adventures on the way there and back. We were so thankful for safe travels and for the wonderful opportunity to celebrate Lainie and Gary and see so much of our family!
