I am not sure I have the heart to complete this post, so full of woe am I.
We finally went to the local Science museum, Insights. I had been bugging my husband to go with us since last year.
I refused to go without him because I pictured some big, modern museum with a days worth of fun science stuff to see and do.
BIG dissapointment.
Very Bad.
It was one room, think HS gym. VB. About 12 broken exhibits, some not plugged in, dirty, non-functioning,. I am so upset by this I can not even speak in coherent sentences but must ramble on without punctuation and interject Bridget-Jonesish abbreviations (VB.VVB.)
Apparantly they were working with a budget somewhere in the negative numbers, so I won't be too harsh on the poor state of their displays, the disorganization, the broken exhibits, missing puzzle peices, peeling paint, or piles of wood and other random debris. But maybe they could *try* to hire someone who knows more about science than my 7 year old? That would have been nice.
(sigh)
It is rare for me to long for my childhood home in PA, but this really did it. I wanted to hop directly on a plane and take my kids to the Franklin Institute.
(double sigh)
They had some fun, though. Just like they have fun playing with a bucket of mud or a unrolling a roll of toilet paper.
Thosethings have more science to them, though.
Oh yeah and they don't cost twenty bucks plus gas.
(sigh)
