To cap off my birthday weekend, we went to the California Science Center after church.  The main reason for our visit was to watch the National Parks Adventure movie in IMAX 3D.  We also wanted to check out the Spaceship Endeavour.

While waiting for the movie we checked out the gift shop.  Is that Hello Kitty spaceship pin not the cutest?  However, I resisted the temptation ($8.99 each).

The movie, narrated by Robert Redford, was inspirational and fun to watch.  I am not sure how much longer it will be playing, but watch it if you have the chance.

If you buy IMAX tickets, you do not have to make timed reservations to see the Spaceship Endeavour.

Watching the short movie right before viewing the shuttle makes you realize what a crazy feat it was to transport it to the museum.

There is a lot to explore here.  Pretty good deal since admission is free; parking is $12.

It’s a good thing that the Rams were not playing at home that weekend.

In the spirit of “keeping it real”, and so that no one is deceived into thinking that our kids are always perfectly behaved, they had a meltdown/argument on the way home.  Over a water bottle…really??

D also grilled steaks in the backyard on Saturday night.  We ate outside, which was n’s idea.  Overall, it was a wonderful birthday weekend.  So fun to adventure with this crew.
