Our first stop was the Golden Gate Bridge. It was really awesome! We didn't drive over the bridge, we went to the overlook. We did walk on the bridge and were able to see both San Francisco and Alcatraz from there. It wasn't as sunny as the previous days, but we still could see a long way off. It was chilly, too.
Our next stop was to the Exploratorium. It is a hands-on Science museum. We brought along our lunch, and it was a good thing, because their cafeteria was closed for the day. We ate lunch along a small man-made lake before we went in. There were ducks, pigeons, turtles, and geese on the lake. Then, since today was free admission, we had to stand in a long, long line to get in. It moved quickly, though, and we got in about 20 minutes later.
What a wonderful time we had. There were all kinds of fantastic things to play with. We started with a smoke tornado, then dry ice comets, then listening devices. After a while we found the "funny mirrors." Mary and Audrey had a great time making themselves look funny. There was also a place that made shadows in red, yellow & blue, as well as a place with tiles to make designs. Since they were closing the place at 3:00 instead of 5:00, we had to leave early, but it was a great place to play and learn.
