Vacation continued....Family and Science

After our one day at Legoland (which was plenty), we hopped in the car, grabbed dinner, and hit the road to visit with Brady and Carrie. It was a super relaxing visit, just playing games and spending time with the cutest nephews ever. Perfect after four days in amusement parks and hotel beds!

 Cousin bonding time!

After two fabulously fun days with the California Minthornes, we loaded the van back up and set out for Los Angeles. We had never been to the California Science Center and had also never seen an actual Space Shuttle in person. What a great time to experience both!


 Seeing the Endeavour was a great experience and we learned quite a bit throughout the entire Shuttle exhibit. The best part? The California Science Center is totally free. We only had to pay $2 per person to see the Space Shuttle, but admission to the rest of this amazing science center is completely free. Yeah yeah, I know California is broke, but man I wish we had a free science center here!


 We didn't have a ton of extra time to explore since we were headed as for North as we could get that day, but we tried to get in as much as we could.


 We spent about two hours there and then hopped back in the van to head to Redding for the night.

The drive home was fairly uneventful, except for some interesting weather, and we were very happy to sleep in our own beds after a very full week away.
