where the map said it would be

Today was the boys' last day of summer vacation, so we lit out for a few adventures, and guess what we found at the museum....

Harry's dream room! The boy loves a map more than just about anything. One of his major pasttimes this summer has been STUDYING a map for an area where I used to work - he can tell you just about any route from any direction...now, if he just had a reason to visit ;-)
They had all sorts of maps, including a display about GPS...remember the Garmin? Ahhhh

Jack has a slightly different approach, and they had all the bells and whistles for his style as well

He was all over the sextant and finding the North Star

They both had fun pretending to be pilots

We took in the IMAX theater and I couldn't get a good perspective shot, but thought this was appropriate since I'm always telling him he's a natural cartographer

I made another attempt during the movie, Deep Sea, not great- but you can see Harry's sweet profile and long lashes if you look near the bottom left...and squeeze in a little lesson about the coral reef ;-)

Thanx also for the fun pool time, CC - hope you survived the sleepover and we can get our schedules worked out for something fun SOON!

It was a really nice way to end the summer break, and after a few fun things this weekend we'll all be ready for a schedule
