MOSI

Today we trekked to Tampa to visit the Museum of Science and Industry--or as the locals call it---MOSI. It is similar to our Museum of Nature and History in Denver. The IMAX was a little different because the images were not only projected across the room, but it was shaped like a dome so it projected onto the ceiling, as well.

The planitarium was neat because the gentleman told us about some of the things we could see in the Floridian skies tonight. The only problem is that the skies have been very cloudy due to the fact that it has rained all day here and it doesn't look as if it will be clear enough to see anything. Hopefully tomorrow it will clear up, as it is our last Sunday Beach Day at Siesta Key. The lunch has been packed they toys are ready...let's just hope the weather cooperates.

The kids favorite part of the day was the weather rooms...there was a tornado room, a hurricane room and a wildfire room. Each providing the experience of being in a house under the various conditions.


Hanging out in a hurricane.

My favorite was going in the wind tunnel where the winds gots up to 80 mph.



Upon our return home, we were greeted by Grandpa who was ready for a super soaker attack!





Another fun day!
