DiaperReport: Maryland Science Center
posted by Evan Jake at 9:06 AM
Last weekend, my Daddy took me to the Maryland Science Center. Mommy and Sarah stayed home to sleep. What else is new? They missed out on a pretty fun time. That first picture of me is at the Inner Harbor. This is as close as Daddy would let me back up to the water because there are no railings. It makes one wonder how many tourists have shuffled into position for a picture and found themselves suddenly all wet. But back to the Science Center...
We went right when they opened on Sunday morning and it was a perfect time to go. Daddy got us a parking space on the street right in front of the museum. And there were no lines to get in.
The first thing we saw was the dinosaur exhibit. This is what I was most excited about, as Daddy had been hyping up the dinosaurs for a couple days in advance. There were big tall dinosaur skeletons everywhere. There were also some very lifelike looking statues of walking dinosaurs. There was a loud "roaring" sound coming from that particular exhibit that kind of freaked me out. I had to put my fingers in my ears and run in the other direction. Do they really have to make the statues so scary? I bet the real dinosaurs were much nicer and cuddlier.
The best part of the dinosaur museum was the digging part. There were some undiscovered dinosaur bones right there in the museum that needed to be uncovered! So I put on some protective glasses, grabbed a brush and went to work. I was quite proud of my discovery and wasn't too pleased when the museum guide covered over my bones with fresh sand as I left.
After the dinosaur exhibit, we went upstairs and checked out all the cool physics displays. I had tons of fun running around and pushing all the buttons that made sparks jump, pendulums swing, tornadoes spin and magnets repel. They even had a giant bubble-maker. Oh, man, I love bubbles.
I loved the dedicated kids' room. In here I got to really run in cirlces, splash around at the water exhibit, play with springs, pegs and swirling ball thingies. It was cool. And I finally got to meet a fake Cal Ripken, since I never got to meet the real Cal Ripken. That's a picture of me shaking the fake Cal Ripken's hand.
After leaving the kids' area, Daddy decided we should take a pass on "Body Worlds 2." I guess he didn't feel I need the detailed anatomy lesson just yet.
So on the way out, Daddy bought me a stuffed dinosaur from the museum store. This guy was definitely cuddlier than those bones I saw earlier. All-in-all, we had a really good time and I only wish Mommy and Sarah had gotten to come along, too.
