For Ray’s birthday, Lee and De took her up to the Denver Museum of Natural History (or, as it’s renamed, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science<\/a>).  We hadn’t been up there since probably around when Katherine was born, so it was a fun visit, joined in with Randy, and with Meera and her crew, and Jackie and KK.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Katherine, of course, was very much into the dinosaurs, being currently dinosaur-crazy.<\/li>\n
  2. The space science hall was very cool, and we could probably have spent another coupleof hours there.<\/li>\n
  3. Entertaining visit to the “hands-on” center.<\/li>\n
  4. Nice mummy goodness, too.<\/li>\n
  5. Spent some good time in the Body exhibit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Katherine enjoyed it all, and learned a bunch of stuff, and we probably need to get back up there again some time soon to hit the pieces we didn’t get this time — minerals, more animal displays, etc.<\/p>\n

    The Titanic <\/em>IMAX is running there right now, and they have a Titanic<\/em> exhibition with lines snaking around all sorts of places.  I’ve an interest in that, too, though whether Katherine would enjoy it is another matter.<\/p>\n

    The museum was, I was told, less crowded than usual — probably because it was Free Admission Day at the neighboring zoo — which, I suspect, was a, well, zoo.<\/p>\n

    Good times, good company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
