Science Museum

It should be quiet.  Most kids are still in school.  Ha.  The kids and I met up with Atticus's friend Edward and his little brother Jack (and the nanny, Minerva) and we rode the 345 to the Science Museum.  The really cool thing about almost every museum in London -- they're all FREE.

The kids loved the water play down in the basement, all the interactive play bits - the pulleys and levers and slides attached to the play structure.  I'm pretty sure they were loving the steam engines, the rockets,  the floating globe, the airplanes and old cars too!  There was a bit of interest in the "Who Am I" section that showed all our body parts but they were still a tad young I guess.

A short trip, but still fun.

Of course, we first entered the Natural History Museum on accident and saw an escalator that went up inside of a big Earth.  That'll be another adventure this summer.  Probably several adventures based on the size of the museum!

And -- my totally random thought from our time at the Science Museum?  When you see groups of school kids from London -- it really is like looking at a real life version of Harry Potter.  Seeing the kids all dressed in uniform and holding notebooks, it was all I could do not to look for Harry, Hermoine and Ron!
