The Space Museum

No wonder this was an all-day thing. You wait 1 hour for parking, 1 hour to find each other in the horrendous crowds, 15 minutes in line for every nature call, half-hour to enter into any of the space labs, another hour to get a turn in the astronaut suit, and finally an hour to get out of the parking. 

It was a tiring but fun outing--of keeping track of all the kids, getting as many photo's as can possibly be taken, and tearing our hair out to chase the stamps, which none of the kids ended up completing.

The parking lots were jammed packed so we parked our car a kilometer and a half walk away. Der and Fiona got a good leg exercise


One of the sweetest young Japanese couples around. The guy on the right works in one of the space labs

Kids intrigued 





This was an expensive shot. Fay had to wait in line for 40 minutes















Oh ya, you want a piece of me?

Water rockets
This might have been the event of the  day for most of the kids

After the rockets were launched...

...the kids ran after them

...and got a blow-up rocket prize

A 6 degree angle is supposed to give you the space sensation.
