LA Science Center

If you ever get a chance to visit LA, the Science Center is lots of fun and FREE! We paid $2 a person to see the Endeavour exhibit but it was a small price to pay to see a real space shuttle close-up. They have a cool aquarium tunnel with divers swimming through, lots of hands-on exhibits (like wind speed & infrared) and of course the shuttle. We did not have time to see all 3 stories, probably because we had four kids with various meltdown periods :)

Temecula

With my brother and family we spent a couple hours one afternoon visiting a soda shop in Temecula and ending the day at a park for the kids.

We did not try anything unique like the peanut butter & jelly or buffalo wing sodas, but they did look interesting :)

Marilyn & Dinosaurs

We picked Todd up from the airport midweek and stopped at a couple tourist attractions to & from Palm Springs. I love roadside attractions and will stop for pictures any day. The Marilyn Monroe statue stood 26 feet tall on a corner in downtown Palm Springs.  Heading back through Cabazon we stopped to see the dinosaurs. I have seen them many many many times but this was the first for Ada :)
