In May we went to OMSI in Portland, OR.  It's a very cool place with tons of hands on things to do.  If you ever get the chance to go, I highly recommend it!  Here are some pictures of our visit!

We were there during the dinosaur exhibit and they had this guy out front.

Our first stop was Turbine Hall.  They had the cockpit of a space shuttle

In the Physics Lab they had a static electricity ball

Conner with the giant ear

They have the SS Blueback submarine that you can tour

Our tour guide, John

Captain Conner

We met a nice guy from Australia who was kind enough to take our picture

This looks like one of those memories the kids will never forget. You make a great looking family.

Love the huge propeller~

I wanted to go to OMSI while I was there but ran out of time. So much to do and so little time to do it in.

Great photo essay!

That was a fun trip through OMSI!

I really like your hair in the one photo.

By the way, youngster, that's a Gemini capsule not the space shuttle!

OMSI is cool fun...used to take my kids there all the time. Wasn't the Blueback the sub from the movie "Hunt for Red October."??
